WELL
A high official of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is quoted by Phil
adelphia advices as saying that the
report in regard to this company Sc
curing control Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford no doubt grew
out of the close intimacy between the
two companies. Ever since Vice Presi-
dent Todd has had charge Of the traffic
affairs of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford the policy of that COM
pany has been undergoing a change,
and this in a measure has given rise
to the story of the absorption Of the
New York New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company.
