REDFIELD SEES
BETTER TIMES
Tells Brooklyn Audience U. 5
Commerce Is Not Far Be-
hind Other Nations.

Let us all be Of good cheer. William
q Redfeld. Secretary Of Commerce. SAYS
that things i'm this country are not as
bad as they seem. or have been made 10
annear. He spoke before a large audience
I'm the Academy Of Music. Brooklyn, last
night He quoted statistics TO prove tha'
tho commerce of these United States
is not far behind other countries, and that
we NAV even hope for better conditions
This particular remark may comfort the
pessimisdc. TO Wit:
"A new spirit is in the air feeling
that a man and a business and a groui
OF employees should have chance 10
work out their future without control on
the mart of any one. TOO much In recent
wears has initiative been restrained 10y
those whose interest IL was To control
Nov all seem to be getting back "a
the time when initiative may again be
set free: when matters Of business VIII
be- treated on their individual merits ano
not from the point Of view OF how they
may affect this or that or the other group
when might must be right In order to oe
right and when the law shall be an IN
strument in the hands OF some. whllt
others without means to employ the la"
are helpless.
I've seem to be getting back TO the
DAYS OF the even chance. There VIII SUI
be need for captains of industry. Leaders
will always be IN demand. The men OF
vision can not and should not be sup
pressed. but the vision should be broad
and not wholly selfish
on the question Of the cost Of living
Secretary Redfeld said:
1T is a worldwide phenomenon ana
can only finally be explained by uni
versal cause. We cannot charge TO Amer
lean legislation a result that is happening
i'm Australia in Russia, in Argentina, IN
England and I'm the United States at the
same time. The present tendency In TINS
country is toward a reduction Of prices.

had determined TO abandon negotiations
for a peaceful dissolution OF their sys-
TEN, it was believed here tonight that
Chairman Elliott and counsel for the road
would come to Washington within a few
days TO take up the threads OF the UNI
tangling where they were dropped nearly
a week ago.
II the New Haven board Of directors
has decided that It prefers TO fight an
antitrust suit rather than negotiate with
Attorney General McReynolds the de
partment has not been taken into the

The results OF the meeting Of the New
Haven board in New York Friday have
not been given TO the department in full.
but It was the opinion here tonight that
the meeting had not developed any greater
objection TO the demands OF the depart
ment than has been displayed on previous
occasions.
The principal objection TO the New
Haven has been To a three-year term for
the five trustees who have been proposed

ing and selling the stock Of the Boston

Company.

that since practically all the Boston &
Maine stock must be sold to New Eng
land investors three years is too short a
time in which 10 insure its disposition,
particularly in view Of the admittedly
poor financial condition OF the Boston &
Maine and present market conditions FOR

The Attorney General on the other
hand. has taken the ground that the trus-
tees should complete their work within
the life Of the present administration.
