Mr.. iaFollette presented this traEs-

possible effect of the enactment In law
of the merger provision of the pending
railroad bill He traced the consolida-
tion frcm the beginning. but gave es-
pecial attention 10 the Massachusetts
Legislation under which the combna-
tion was made effective. II was prac-
tlcally charged by the senator that this
enactment had been consummatcd at
the dictation of President Mellen of
the New Haven road, who. he inti-
mated, represented the Morgan Rock
efeller Interests He quoted from a
member OF the Massachusetts leglsla
turc a statement that Governor Dra
per had responded to AN ultimatum
from the New Haven interests. He un-
dertook to show that the federal mer-
ger suit, instituted during the Roosc-
Welt administration. had been dis
missed at the dietation of Attorney
General Wickersham under the TAFT
administration for the inadequate rea-
son that the Massachusetts legislature
had passed the holding bill under
which the consolidation was cf-
fectcd.
