deficit OF s7s3.OoO. compared with a
surplus OF more than $4,000, 900 for the

Earnings for the third quarter are not
expected to show much improvement and
the independent concerns are not believed
to be doing any better. Pig iron pro-
duction decreased about $4,000 tons in
June. as compared with May. and more
than 100000 tons for the first half OF
the year. as against tho first half OF 1918.

OPY TO McREYNOLDS
Directors Meet After Report of
Prosecution Under Sher-
man Law.

The probability that suit against the
New Haven railroad would be filed by
the Department OF Justice under the pro-
visions OF the Sherman antitrust law.
as told in THE Sun. caused meeting of
the board OF directors of the line yester-
DAY ana the passing of resolutions re-
hiiirming the conclusions of the board as
set forth in its statement OF June 25.
Inc resolutions express regret that
the conditions on which the Massac hu-
sets Legislature Is willing to permit the
company to carry out Its agreement with
the Department of Justice are so different
from anything which was contemplated
AZ the time OF the original agreement
that the board has not the right to accent
them"
copy of the resolutions was sent to
Nttorney-General McReynolds Mt WASH
ington.
The probability that n suit under the
antitrust law would be filed was Indicated
not long ago when the Massachusetts
Legislature saw III TO introduce into the
charter OF the Boston Holding Company
In providing for the separation of the
Boston and Maine from the New Haven
system clause providing that the stock
OF the former should be sold to the
State OF Massachusetts whenever II wished
to purchase II. With this clause effective,
the directors OF the New Haven thought
that II would be impossible to obtain a
fair price for the stock. They added
that such a clause would make the stock
or the Boston and Maine unstable and
placed the New Haven company In a
worse position than n compelled to sell
It's Boston and Maine holdings by a
Federal court decree.
The directors of the New Haven. after
an all day session on June Is, set forth
their position in detail In statement
that was sent to the Governor of Massa-
chusctts, the President of the Senate and
the Speaker OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives OF that State
The resolutions passed yesterday follow:
ITO reafirm the conclusions set forth
by the board OF directors In its state
ment Of June % regarding the Massa-
chusetts legislation then pending and now
accepted
To express our regret TO the Attor-
ney-Gcncral Of the United States that the
conditions on which the Massachusetts
Legislature is willing to permit the com.
pany to carry out its agreement with the
Department OF Justice are so different
from anything which was contemplated
at the time OF the original agreement
that the board has not the right TO
accept them. and that they involve such
severe and apparently unnecessary loss
that II ought not to recommend or expect
their acceptance by the stockholders them
selves"
