There has basis intense interest in the ‘discussions ibei-ore the com- mittee and many more have sought to be present at the discussions than could be admitted to the room. Mr. J. H. iSinclair of New Glasgow, who is a Director of the National Railway Board, s-nd was on ihis way from the west to Halifax told the liailiiax Chronicle some of his im- pressions gathered while in Ottawa and watching the committees‘ pro ceedinga as an interested spectator. When asked what would happen to the bill before Parliament? Mr. Sinclair said in part: "Whatever happens the bill in the Commons l will say it will have hard sledding in the "Senate whlchl/s regarded as the special guardian of trust funds. A welLinformed Senator told me that ii the promoters oi the bill do not agree to amendments its life will be short." But with reasonable amendments Mir.
