People From President Machado on Down.

among those to whom the bull fight
was national sport, but in the years
since then she had become a person
revered and beloved throughout Cuba.
Elimination of the bull fight was one
OF her major detectives early in her
crusade. BY one means or another she
blocked such spectacles, enduring the
ridicule OF promoters and enthusiasts
until eventually public opinion began
TO lean her way and legislation was
enacted making the bull fight in Cuba
illegal.
The funeral services will take place

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-28

George L. Crooker. chairman of me Rhode Island committee which e1ubn1itted a minority report to the xovernors of New England on the Ilaatter of the future of New Eng {andss railway transportation. Issued to-day the following statement to the New England public.
 sThe railroad problem or New England is rapidly moving to . sOIu- lion. and while the business interests hre discussing 2 what disposition shall be made of our transportation syStem and what form of consolida- tion is in our best interest, one Of the trunk lines is quietly buying control of two of our leading sys- tenn handling 7S per cent of our fonnaee, not including the Boston ma Albany. Unless we take fmme- Ainta action, 1t is inevitable that the s,,esfion win be settled for us.
 Under the law as laid down In 'fhe transportation act; a railroad hSs a legal right to acquire complete 6wnership by purchase. exchange or sthck or lease of a railroad that 1nere9v would extend the length or if lfne. The law simply provides fhat nc railroad can acquire con- {rol 0f. or undue influence over &nmnefing or parallel line without ffs consent of the interstate com. rherce commission
 sIJnder this state of the law, tne Pennsylvan railroad has a perfect 3feht to buy a controlling interest in the New York, New Haven ana
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-28

1. Hartford railroad. The majority members of the New England rail- road committee practically acknowl-
 edge that the Pennsylvania railroad has a right to buy controlling in- terest in a line which is not q com- petitor of the Pennsylvania, but is
 merely an extension of its system.
 The majority members go much fur ther. They conclude there is prac-
 tically no competition between the New Haven and the Boston and
 Maine. q If this is true, then the Pennsyl- vania railroad has an equal right to buy the Boston and Mine. The Penn sylvania all the time is going right lahead with it's program. It is stated | in public press that the Pennroad Icorporation has, within the past few days, bought an additional block of 4.000 shares of the Boston and Maine, and upon inquiry t1is state
 ment Is not denied.
 ''The Pennsylvania railroad offi- cials state they are certain of their legal position as regards the New Haven, but 1t is apparent there is a question in their minds regarding the right of the Pennsylvania to acc quire a controlling interest in the oO6IOn anu 40&AnCt GS t4tSy A1vC AAOs directly any of that stock, such pur- chase being made by the Penroad corporation.
 '"The stumbling block in the way of direct purchase is whether or not the Boston and Maine and the New
 Haven are competing roads.
 ''If we in New England say these
 roads do not compete and the inter- state commerce commission is satis- lied with our decision, then the ob- stacle to direct purchase by the Pennsylvania railroad of the Boston and Maine has been removed.
 ''As the Pennr0ad corporation and the New Haven jointly own what now amounts to controlling inter-
 est in the Boston and Maine, and as Pennsylvania has working control of the New Haven, the whole matter would be finally settled once the
 interestate commerce commission ruled that the New Haven and the Boston and Main were not compet-

 they desire something different, there are but two ways out, and these ways will soon be closed unless decided action is taken in the very near future.
 ' 1T. We must recognize the fact that there is substantial and import ant competition between the New Haven and the Boston and Maine. This is the fact, but we must not only recognize 1t ito be on, but prove | 1t to thsDsatisfaction of the inter- state commerce commission. Having proven that the New Haven and the Icompetitors, it then becomes illegal for the Pennsylvania railroad or it's subsidiary, the Pennroad corpora ton, to hold a controlling interest in both of these roads, and action can be taken to separate them.
 "2. In order to insure the Boston land Maine from passing at a later date under the control of the Penn sylvania.N New Haven combination, 1t
 is essential that the Boston and
 Maine be consolidated with another
 strong trunk line, that is. without question, 8 competitor of the Penn- sylvania railroad.
 ''New England must choose be- tween the Pennsylvania railroad controlling 55 per cent of the rail- road mileage of New England
 with a north and south movement of freight which would be in direct |competition with our water-borne traiiic now carrying almost 50 per cent of all our tonnage, which tom mage is undoubtedly the great po-

Federal Court Decision Causes
Company to Make New
Deal With U. S.

An agreement has been reached
between the Government and
Fruit Industries Inc, distributors
Of grape concentrate. whereby the
company will discontinue "servic-
ing" of the product.
The agreement follows a recent
Federal court decision in Kansas
City, which held that distribu-
tion and servicing Of grape con-
Scentrate was illegal.
Sales to Continue
The sale Of concentrate will be
continued. The company plans
to market it in containers of vari-
ous sizes, through retail stores.
Thus the only real change is in
the method Of distribution.
Heretofore, the organization
has sold the concentrate in kegs
direct to the consumers. At the
end Of so days, the organizationS 5
ageI,ts have serviced the product
to the extent Of bottlng, cork
ing and labelling it. #
Law Not ylolMted
As the fermentation has taken
place in the home, and as Section
20 OF the .Volstead act exempts
notwithstanding fruit juices"
manufactured in the home, the
contention has been that no law
has been violated.
The Kansas City decision, how
ever. moved the Department
of Justice to change its policy
and the company to change its
methods.
