Sound Shore Line. The New Haven's
chief strategical advantage at that
time. the witness indicated. was IN
passenger traffic. as none OF the oth-
or roads could maintain through pas
seneer service to New York except over
the New Haven tracks.
Freight Connections
All these roads maintained their
freight connections to points OUTSIDE
of New England Through traffic ar
raneements with outside lines. Mr.. Mel
len explained, and contributed pro rata
to the expenses of about a score OF
freight soliciting organizations which
routed through traffic over the various
connecting lines. The various through
routes were in competition, Mr.. Mellen
said.
Lively Composition '...
WAS the competition keens" asked
Frank L. Swacker, the government at
torney.
81 should say there was considerable
competition" replied the witness. III
was fairly lively"
The New Haven itself, as was the
case of some of the other lines. the
witness explained. never solicited trafi
fic, as their financial condition was not
such at the time that they could stand
the expense. This was one of the rea
sons of the creation of the solicitation
organizations. The witness was still
in the midst of this phase of his testi-
mony when adjournment was taken un-
til tomorrow. When completed. the
government expects to use 1t as basis
upon which to build up the story OF
the gradual acquisition of the lines by
the New Haven. with which Mr.. Meller
became connected as vice president ir
1892. Previous to that he was genera
manager of the New York and New
England Railroad which has been de
scribed as the New Haven's chief com
petitor in those early days, and it is
likely that when he goes into the stor:
of these acquisitions he will tell frs,
of the taking over Of the New York ant
New England.
Documents Identified
Mr.. Mellen was preceded on the stano
by two present officials of the New Ha
ven who identified about 1000 docu
mentary exhibits subpoenaed by the
government from the New Haven files
Their introduction was the occasion o,
an unsuccessful effort by attorneys fol-

unlawful acts committed by the de.

utes of limitations-in other words, acts
