The Carlisle steel people and the Lake Shore road are after the Ribblevale Company, and we can't afford to run any risk of their getting it. It's logically a part of the Boyne interests, as Scherer says, and Dickinson is ready with the money for the reorganization. If the Carlisle people and the Lake Shore get it, the product will be shipped out by the L and G, and the Railroad will lose.
Paret," he observed. "Know who you are, of course, knew you were in Watling's office. Then some of the boys spoke about you when you were down at the legislature on that Ribblevale matter. Guess you had more to do with that bill than came out in the newspapers eh?" I was taken off my guard. "Oh, that's talk," I said. "All right, it's talk, then?
Just as soon as this is introduced we'll have Gates and Armstrong down here they're the Ribblevale attorneys, aren't they? I thought so, and the best legal talent they can hire. And they'll round up all the disgruntled fellows, you know, that ain't friendly to the Railroad. We've got to do it quick, Mr. Paret. Gorse gave you a letter to the Governor, didn't he?" "Yes," I said. "Well, come along.
Tom, who was lounging by the fire, shifted his position uneasily. I smiled, and took another cigar. "I believe Ralph is right, Perry, when he calls you a sentimentalist. For you there's a tragedy behind every ordinary business transaction. The Ribblevale people are having a hard time to keep their heads above water, and immediately you smell conspiracy.
Watling says, there is no sufficient penalty in other states to compel the witness to produce the information desired, why not draw up a bill and and have it passed " I paused for breath "imposing a sufficient penalty on home corporations in the event of such evasions. The Ribblevale Steel Company is a home corporation."
Scherer, in the playful manner he had adopted of late, while I grinned appreciatively and took a chair. Mr. Watling presently suggested kidnapping the Ribblevale treasurer until he should promise to produce the books as the only way out of what seemed an impasse. But Mr. Scherer brought down a huge fist on his knee. "I tell you it is no joke, Watling, we've got to win that suit," he asserted.
Another thought intruded itself, that of Mr. Pugh, the president of the Ribblevale Company. My father had known him, and some years before I had traveled halfway across the state in his company; his kindliness had impressed me.
He let go of the desk, and tapped the copy of the bill. "What are the facts? The Boyne Iron Works, under the presidency of Adolf Scherer, has been engaged in litigation with the Ribblevale Steel Company for some years: and this bill is intended to put into the hands of the attorneys for Mr. Scherer certain information that will enable him to get possession of the property.
The point is, there's no other way out for us. Just think a moment, bearing in mind what I've told you about the case, and you'll see it." Mr. Gorse took up the paper again, and read the draft over. "You know as well as I do, Miller, how dangerous it is to leave this Ribblevale business at loose ends.
I began to see something dramatic and sensational in Krebs's performance.... The Ribblevale Steel Company was the real quarry, after all. And such had been the expedition, the skill and secrecy, with which our affair was conducted, that before the Ribblevale lawyers could arrive, alarmed and breathless, the bill had passed the House, and their only real chance of halting it had been lost.
