SUIT AGAINST HAVEN
Alleges Violation of Sherman
Anti Trust Law in New
England States.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The United
States government began prosecution
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad when the depart
mcnt Of justice filed bill in equity
against the New Haven road as a
monopoly in the United States district
court at noon today.
The bill charges that the New Haven
has violated the Sherman antitrust
law in various ways by restraining
trade and commerce in New England
states and has acquired monopolies of
railroad and water transportation and
trolley transportation in Connecticut
and Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and
New York.
The bill asks for dissolution of the
alleged monopoly. 1t emphasizes the
density of population in the territory
involved which, it is claimed, makes
the violation Of the Sherman act the
more reprehensible.
