A short but amusing news piece from the March 1921 issue of Canadian
Railway & Marine World:
"In speaking at a recent Canadian Club dinner in New York, Hon. N.W.
Rowell, MP for Durham, Ont., said: "E. W. Beatty is the only young man
of prominence Lord Shaughnessy has produced. Our guest may not be so
proud of it, but when Trotsky lived in New York he also worked for the
C.P.R. here." Lord Shaughnessy added, "True, and we still owe him $40.""
