Boston. Jan. 17-That the New York, New Haven St Hartford railroad has violated the laws of Massachusetts and that it should at once obtain the approval of the Legislature for it's con- solidation with the Consolidated com pany of Connecticut and of the issue Of large amount of stock and bonds under penalty of a forfeiture of it's charter in this state, are the conclus- ions of special committee which has investigated the situation and submit ted its report to the legislature to- day.
 What the Massachusetts Commission
 Finds.
 The commission finds that the es- sential factor which has created the strained relations between the New Haven road and this state is the ex- ercise by the company of privileges granted by Connecticut in violation of the law of Massachusetts. These amount to converting the company in- to a non-supervised holding company. unless Massachusetts shall in some degree exercise supervision
 There should be a common rule of corporate conduct. uniform in several jurisdictions. which at once suggests federal control. The commission points out that the president has de- if approved by congress, will in part solve this question.
 FaVors Forfeiture.
 The commission suggests that the New Haven company within a reason able time should petition the Iegisla- ture for the authorization of its acts. In doing so. it should submit a com plete report of its finances. The com mission points out that Massachu- setts cannot validate securities which are issued for any property other than for transportation. If the company continues to exercise the privileges without authority, the commission fayors forfeiture. It is convinced, however. that it's suggestions will solve the difficulty.
