local fares proposed by the steam
railroads operating into Boston. the
people of the district, through rep
resentatives who for the most part
were official, placed their case be-

turned to private operation January.

THRIFT involves national inter
ference in the local question OF
suburban transportation now under
investigation by a special state COM

the Legislature called in special ses-
sion to act thereon.
''Fourth-The statement of the
railroad officials that the proposed
changes are necessary to reduce dan
eerous congestion in the operation OF
trains Is not supported by tho facts.
The testimony OF the railroad Of
ficiais Themselves shows that the
roads have handled safely more than
the present or anticipated traffic.
