ANTITRUST SUIT
IS CABINET TOPIC
Meeting Devoted to Discussing
impending Action Against
New Haven.
ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES
DETAILS OF SITUATION
Relates Efforts of His Department to
Bring Railroad Within Law
Without Court Fight.

Practically all the time at the cab
met meeting today was devoted to dis
cussion of the governments impending
antitrust suit to dissolve the New
Haven railroad merger. Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds presented complete
statement of the efforts of the Depart
ment of Justice to bring the railroad
system within the law without court
fight. Some sort of an official statement
was expected later in the day.
Decision to lay the New Haven case
before the President and his cabinet
followed a final unsuccessful effort to
solve the problem without litigation.
Attorney General McReyuolds, 7. W.
Gregory. special assistant in charge of
the case, and committee OF New
Haven directors, consisting of Presi-
dent Hustis, A. Y. Hadley, T. Dewitt
Cuyler and Moorfield Story, counsel for
the road. had held a long conference
at which suggestions were made by
the committee for the sale of the Bos-
ton and Maine stock owned by the
New Haven free from conditions i'm
posed by the state Of Massachusetts.
An unconditional sale. the committee
is said to have declared, would insure
a price s1O,000,000 above what the New
Haven might otherwise hope to get.
Committees Suggestions Declined.
The outcome was that Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds declined to accept the
committees suggestions. In a formal
statement following the conference
President Hustis made it clear that he
and the committee expected the gov
ernment to file it's suit.
Despite the hope expressed by Mr..
Hustis that after filing the bill points
of difference could be reduced to a
minimum, indications today We're that
there would be no future compromises
and that the Attorney General would
proceed with the filing of the suit
1t was generally believed today that
the President and his cabinet would ap-
prove the course of the Department of
Justice in its negotiations with the New
Haven. Practically no doubt was en-
tertaned that following the filing of the
suit efforts are to be made to have
federal grand jury in New York return
indictments against many directors of
the New Haven. who served in the days
when it was building up d system which
Attorney General McReynolds holds is
combination in restraint of trade.
Both the civil and criminal actions are
to be taken under the Sherman anti
trust law.

tween Franklin NJ. Gunther secretary of
