IMPROVEMENT IN THE NEw ENGLAND 
SITUATION 
New England is at last coming to 
its senses. The first evidence of re- 
turning sanity is the report of the 
Boston Chamber of Commerce adopt- 
ed on April 1 on the railway situa- 
tion which, while abounding in crit- 
icisms of the Boston and Maine and 
in suggestions for the improvement 
of its equipment and service, took 
strong ground against any legislation 
calculated to disturb the present re- 
lations between the Boston and Maine 
| and the New Haven and Hartford. 
_ This marks the definite abandoment 
of the attempt to separate the two 
companies, an attempt which, if suc- 
cessful, would have resulted in ser- 
ious damage to the Boston and 
Maine which would be _ powerless 
without the support of the New Ha- 
ven to raise the capital for the re- 
_habilitation of its property and for 
| the large additions to its equipment 
which are required that it may handle 
the traffic offered. 
Next in order should and probably 
will be the dropping of the absurd 
charges of conspiracy in restraint of 
trade, and a rapid retreat of public 
Opinion all along the line from the 
position of extreme hostility which 
under the leadership of Mr. Louis D. 
Brandies it has assumed—From the 
Railway World.
