New Haven to Have live Di-

Under Modification

New York, May 12-(By A. P)-
Stating that the decree which dis
solved the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad in 1914, was
made under conditions which since
have been materially changed by ad-
ministration. policies, Federal Judge
Mayer today ordered a modification
which will give to the New Haven
road five directors on the Boston &
Maine. The directors will be elected
Tuesday in either Boston or Port
land, Me.
Congress, through it's new trans
portation act has shown a tendency
to regard interstate carriers as a
broad problem" said Judge Mayer,
and there has appeared a distinct
belief that railroads are governed
by business conditions as we'll as
other corporations.
In several cases which have been
decided recently, and in some which
are now before courts, the policy of
broad mindedness is being followed,
and l believe it only right that |
should modify the decree, since the
Jew Haven road is now a minority
stakeholder where it was ma jority

Speaking along the same lines, At
torney General Daugherty stated
that the policy of the United States
government now was not to run the
railroads. Public utility laws, he
said. governed the administration to
some extent. but beyond their limi :
tations, it was the policy in Wash
