Bay State House Passes
Holding Company Bill.
Will Probably Become a Law
Before End Of the Week.
Final Chapter in Controversy Over
Control Of Boston & Maine.

Boston. June Il. The passage by the
House today after a four-days debate
of the Boston railroad holding bill. is
regarded as practically bringing to Il
close Il three years controversy over
the New York New Haven & Hartford
Railroad control over the Boston &
Maine Railroad. The governors bill
has already passed the Senate ana at
the forenoon session of the House to-
day WAS ordered TO n third reading by
Il vote of $50 to 40.
Nearly Il dozen amendments We're
killed at the afternoon session ana at
5 O'Clock tonight the bill was ordered
to be- engrossrd and will probably be
come 4 law before the last of the week.
The merger controversy started in
1905, when several large Stockholders
IN the Boston u Maine Railroad sold
their holdings, amounting to 109,3S9
shares to the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad. Governor Guild
called the attention Of the Legislature
OF 1907 to the matter and ordered the
attorney general to institute proceed
lngS against The New Haven Company.
In the fall of that year n faction of

dependent candidate for governor on an
anti-morGer platform. The Legislature
of 1908 failed to solve the controversy
and during the session the Massachu-
sets supreme court decided that the
action Of the New Haven Road was IL
legal. After the close of the Legisla-
turc last year, tn" New Haven Road
carried out the provisions of the deci-
sion Of the court by selling the Boston
& Maine stock to John l., Billiard OF
Meridcn, Ct, who in the fall was
elected a director in the Boston &
Maine.
Again the Legislature met with the
railroad problem as the leading issue
and for mere thar three months of the
present session no Roadway was made
in the settlement of the difficulty. In
