Merger Means Monopoly.

That the Boston & Names merger with
the New Haven, if permitted to stand
will result in IAN almost exclusive mo-
nopoly Of transportation facilities by
railroad in the greater part of New Eng
land"
That passenger train service. without
considering safety Of operation on the
New Haven is distinctly better than any
other line entering New York and that
Of the Boston & Maine equally as good
Both roads, however are criticised ad-
versely for lack Of steel cars.
That the freight service OF the Boston
& Maine is much less reliable than that
OF either the Pennsylvania or the Bal
timore & Ohio, while that Of the New
Haven is slightly inferior to the Penn

Baltimore Ohio"
That passenger fares in New England
have been more favorable TO the local
travelling public than in any other por-
ton OF the United States.
That any betterment OF railroad condi-
tons in New England must begin with
the assurance that the New Haven man
agement will act not only prudently, but.
above all, within the letter and the spirit
OF the law"

that the published schedule fare in New

spicuous exceptions to this rule are
noted. II is shown that practically all OF

Wasteful Operations.

The marine equipment Of the New
Haven was manipulated, according TO the
report. in a way TO defy analysis, and II
is added
our general conclusion is that the out
side financial operations Of the New
Haven company for the last nine years
have been wasteful In the extreme and
that the methods by which those opera
tons have been conducted are unneces-
sarily involved and complex. The reason
for this is as apparent as the fact itself.
The present management OF that com
trolling the transportation facilities Of
New England. In the accomplishment Of
this purpose il bought what must be had
and paid what must lie paid To this
purpose and its attempted execution can
be traced every one Of these financial mis-
fortunes and derelictions.
1T seems proper To- add that while the
financial operations or this company have
resulted In heavy losses there Is nothing
TO indicate that its solvency has been i'm
paired The outside properties OF the
New Haven have been acquired al cNtray-
agant prices They are for the greater part
Of substantial value. and In many in
stances arc a kind Of property the value
OF which should improve. The financial
condition OF the company calls for careful
consideration and prudent action. but
gives no occasion for hJ steria.'

At the Base OF Regulation.

No order was made by the commits
sion. but in its opinion the following
propositions which have national appli-
cation to all railroads lie at the founda-
ton Of adequate railroad regulation:
Every interstate railroad should be
prohibited from expending money or in
curing liabilities or acquiring property
not in the operation OF its railroad or in
the legitimate Improvement. extension
or development OF that railroad.
NO interstate railroad should be per-
mittsd to lease or purchase any other
railroad. nor to acquire the stocks or
securities OF any other railroads nor 10
{ arantee the same. directly or indirectly.
without the approval Of the federal gov
eminent
NO stocks or bonds should be issued
by an interstate railroad except for the
purposes sanctioned IN the two prec,d-
ing paracrarhs and none should be issued
without the approval OF the federal gov
eminent"

records go. this money has vanished int
thin air" the report adds.
Ventures Prosecuted at a Loss.

Acquisition by the New Haven OF troll
ley lines in Massachusetts is reviewed al
length. and the conclusion is reached
that the New Haven company gave away
to j. l.. Billiard and his associates about
100000 of the property OF the New
Haven.
The transactions OF President Mellen In
giving his personal notes TO his own com
pany for stock are discussed at length
by Commissioner Prouty. on transactions
in New Haven stock bought with such
notes there were profits OF $4,000 but the
New Havens books do not show to what
use the money had been put The report
adds:
His statement was that the amount
had been used in campaign expenditures
during the summer and fall Of 1904, that
, this had been done by direction of his
/ directors and that they had subsequently
ratified his act These campaign con-
trihutions call for no comment from US
The act OF the New Haven was not pecul-
lar TO that company at that time. What
may be open TO criticism is the lax way
| in which this matter was handled be-
directors. The special account shows a
payment to Mr.. Mellen OF 5000 I'm cash
which he passed over to the Republican
| National Campaign Committee. II shows
second payment to Mr. Buckland. now
f, the vice-president OF the company, OF
$500, which was turned over to the Re-
publican State Committee OF Rhode ISL
and"
The investigation disclosed that such
stock transactions extended over con-
siderable period, and from time to time
Mellen received large sums for various
purposes unstated on the books OF the
company. He explained that the amounts
were for campaign contributions and for
other expenses. including one item OF
5000 spent in connection with certain
leases Of dock property In New York
city" Commissioner Prouty says the
commission doubts the propriety OF this
laxity In the keeping Of accounts between
Mr.. Mellen and his COMPANY.

Would Leave Matter to Congress.

Commi, sioners Clements and MARBLE
submitted a concurrins opinion in which
they agree heartily with the report"
but make their position clear as to some
4 the Issues mentioned. Concerning tho
merger of the New Haven and the Boston

merger has 50 overloaded the executive
heads OF the entire aggregation as TO
impair not only correct and economical
financial administration but also efiici-
ency and safety OF operation. The Bos-
ton g. Maine ard the New Haven are
shown by the report to be separable or
Ganically They are not one system, bu;
two systems under one management.
Therefore. closer Superintendent with
corresponding gains in efficiency and safe
~ might be expected from dissolution

NO competition between carriers Is IN
important. Moreover, any suppression OF
competition involves larger issues. which
must be discussed by those who arc
charged with the duty of legislation.
The proposed continuation OF the in
curry into the matter Of Increases In rates
ought not to be held In advance Of the
posting of such rates for the information
of the shippers who must pay them. the
report strongly suggests that Increased
net income for the Boston g. Maine should
be secured by a reform ia expenditures
rather than by an increase Of rates.

DEADLOCKED IN
GARMENT STRIKE
Manufacturers Won't Recog-
nize Union and Workers
Are Stubborn, Too.

Strike leaders and the leading gar
ment manufacturers in the city are
still deadlocked as to terms of settle
mont.
Joseph Heisler, whose plant is at
Fourteenth avenue and Bergen
street, stated emphatically today that
he had not conferred with the strike
leaders as to terms and would never
do So
II I'm willing to meet committee
re presenting the former employees of
my own shop" he said, but l will
mo- recognize the union
Captain yogel, of the Fourth pre-
einct. told me the other day that the
Rev Bismark ]. Coltorti had said the
strikers would be willing to return if
they received a 10 per cent. increase.
and shorter hours
Il agreed to meet Mr.. Coltorti, but
Nicholas La yecchia appeared in his
place. I soon learned that Mr.. Col
torti had no authority to speak for the
strikers, and that they still insisted
upon the recognition of the union.
That ended matters, SO far as l am
concerned. l don't intend to allow
the union to dictate what men | shall
employ. If the men do return, I shall
decide myself which ones are to be al
lowed to come back
The strike leaders claim that they
induced operatives hired by the Hill
ton Company in Vineland, this State,
to quit work. The men who are said
to have walked out there will be or.
ganized into a union.
