THE NEW HAVEN
AGREEMENT
Means 1t Is Time to Help
the Boston &
Maine
THIS IDEA IS
VOICED BY WEEKS
Prospects of a Receivership
for Roads Now Great
ly Lessened

Washington, Jan. 12.-An agreement
between Chairman Elliott of the New
Haven railroad system and the depart
ment of Justice, reached late saturday
afternoon, paves the way for a complete
and comprehensive settlement. A law
suit is avoided in the serious sense. II
the case goes into court at all, it will
be only as a formality. The prospects
of a receivership for the Boston & Maine,
and also for the New Haven, is greatly
Ilessened The government wins vic.
tory for the constitution of peace"
New England transportation interests
are expected to gain materially.
New Haven holdings in the Boston &
Maine are TO be disposed of. No time
was set, however, which is supposed to
assure reasonable grace in searching for
a good market. The same is true of
steamship holdings, other than the Fall
River lines. While Chairman Elliott,
who was accompanied here Saturday by
President Hadley of Yale, one of the d.
rectors, yielded to the departments de-
mands about disposing of properties like
these and the trolley lines, it is believed
he has obtained favorable terms.
Suggestions about trusteeship for
these holdings have been talked over at
the department, but no one undertakes
to say what plan will certainly be adopt
led. Chairman Elliott said Saturday
night he would not undertake TO predict,
although trusteeship for the Boston
& Maine had already been carefully con-
sidered and might be accepted. Presi-
dent Hadley, who assisted much in the
negotiations Saturday, was chiefly con-
cerned in the trolley situation. As a
matter of fact, tho agreement thus far
touches only certain essential features,
and weeks, ii not months, of conference
will be necessary to arrive at final con-
illusions.
There is feeling in Washington that
Boston and northern New England gen
orally should come to the financial sup
port of the Boston & Maine. The OPP
portunity for an aggressive public spirit
in meeting this crisis is emphasized here
by men who have studied the problem
closely. Senator Weeks voiced the idea
Saturday in an interview, declaring that
Boston financial institutions should lead
the way in providing the necessary mon
ey for the Boston & Maine and in ask
ing northern New England banks to CO.
operate so that the payment of exorbi-
tant rates of interest may be avoided
and the financial integrity of the prop
erty be maintained. The employees could
help by funding a part of their wages
till conditions have been worked out
He expressed confidence that the admin
istration here is fully aware of the deli
cacy of the situation and would CO.
operate with New England business in
,terests in bringing about sane settle
ment.
