Directors Duty
 a Painful One
FELT BADLY OVER SUSPENSION
 OF DIVIDEND
HAD COURAGE TO DO IT
"They Believed It Better For Every body" Declares Chairman Elliott of New Haven System in a Speech.

New York, Dec. 11.-'I do not think ever sat on a board that felt as badly as did the New Haven board when they met conditions which forced them to give the decision to take away dividends and Christmas presents from thousands of people," Howard Elliott, the new head of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad system, declared here tonight at dinner Of the Railway Business association. MT. Elliott alluded to the meeting of the New Haven roads directors yesterday idend.
 Better for Everybody.
 They had the courage to do it, Mir. Elliott said, and they did it be- cause they thought it was better for the stockholders and better for the people at large
 Regarding charges of dishonest rail- road management MT Elliott said that if some railroads in the past have been overcapitalized, it is to be regretted. But no workable method has been suggested he declared "by which se- curities issued legally and bought in good faith can be taken from the own CTS without failures and receiverships that harm many more people than the owners of the securities.
 Just Criticism Welcomed.
 LO lllS CLlllCiSLI lIldl Lu0 TdlIEOdQS were extrayagant he replied: Many economies can be only adopted by throwing away old appliances and buying new ones. And if the railroads have no money with which to get the new tools they must do the best thesr can with the old ones.
 The railway managers of the coun- try" he coneinued, want to know where to improve. They welcome just criticism based on real knowledge of all the facts. It Is their purpose to profit by it. To serve the public ade- quately, on the other hand. Is also their purpose and it is their duty to seek diligently from the appropriate authorities the authority and help nec- essary if the railway Is to do what the people want and must have if the country is to grow.
 Asks Patient Good Will of People.
 These six New England states have one-fourteenth of the national pupu- lation and have one twelfth of the na,- tional wealth. They consume one eighth of the materials of manufacture and they have one-sixth of the bank deposits. For the New England lines, that represent ask the patient good will of her people and of the nation while her peculiar and difficult trans portation problems are being solved
 The business men of the country who beneut rom the accumulated savings of New England, from her large purchases from other parts of the country, from her great ana con- tinuouS contributions to the national welfare in sending out trained men and women, should at this time of storm and stress help the situation in every reasonable way. It is to your interests to do it and as patri- otio citizens interested in the welfare of the whole country I ask you most earnestly to help"

NO COLD STORAGE
 TRUST DISCOVERED.
Combines to Control Prices Exist in
 Some Cities, However.

Washington. Dec. 11.-After several weeks of investigation over the entire United States officials of the depart ment of justice have reached the con- clusion that there is little ground for belief that a nation wide cold storage trust exists. Every United States at torney in the country was pressed in to service for d quick survey of the cold storage field and their reports to Washington indicate that while com pines have been formed in a few of the large cities. there is no reason to be- lieye that there is a cold storage trust controlling the price of eggs and other products in all parts ofthe country
 Sufficient evidence has been forth coming, however to show that in some of the cities such combinations do ex- ist, and the department already has turned it's attention to a more carefu scrutiny of the operations of cold stor- age men there.
