FURTHER COMPLICATION
In Adjustment Of Freight Rates Tor
New England.

New Haven. Conn. April S.-The
latest phase of the trouble over freight
rates in New England which has
reached u complicated stage, is Il plan
for arbitration. devised by the Trunk
Line Association. by which II commit
tee will take into consideration the
whole subject of rates. including the
rates OF the Southern steamship lin IS
of the trunk lines by the mixed freight
and mail lines and by the New Eng
land water lines. northward and west
ward. The scope of the investigation
includes not merely the existing diff
cultieS, but the devising OF positive
plan by which rates upon all the sya-
tens will be adjusted.
new complication has just entered
the situation by what is understood to
be new position assumed by the BoS-
ton & Maine in opposition to the low y
rates westward. from northern New
England. II is understood that the
Boston & Maine now takes Il definite
stand against any increase of the
northern New England rates. on tn,
ground that it would be unGuestionabi1
i violation of the sherman act and
would subject the company to heavy
fines and penalties under the federal
law. This further snarls up the COM
pick question very seriously
