bo 
that the issue of licenses would greatly hurt the 
railway’s business. 
Some American railways give free transportation to fish 
fry from State hatcheries, and otherwise assist Game 
Wardens or protectors. Would your line probably act 
with similar liberality ? 
This very important question was left unanswered by all 
the witnesses. 
Would you object to allowing your Conductors or Pursers 
on sporting routes to act on behalf of the Government 
in issuing permits for licenses to shoot or fish, if such 
licenses here required by law ? 
No answers by any of the witnesses.
