I reported yesterday that the meeting of the Yust-Han Railway shareholders, which should have been hold on Sunday, was prohibited by the Viceroy, and I am given to understand the following was B. E.'s reason for not allowing it to be held. It appears that a wealthy and inuential man and a large shareholder is in favour of the nationalisation scheme, and at the meeting held last week he spoke strongly in favour of it. He was greatly blated for this and many hard things were said of him. In the meanwhile the Board of Communications got this man to use his influence to favour the Board's scheme, and so he had a long interview with the Viceroy, At first H.
