It was practically churged by the sjiealier
, ihat this enactment bad been consummated
as the result of the dictation of President
iMellen of the New Haven road, who. he
intimated, represented U.a Morgan-Rockefeller
interests.
He Quoted frqra a member of the Massa
chusetts legislature a statement te the
effect that Governor lrraper had responded
to an ultimatum from the New Haven in
terests. He undertook to show that th
federal mri-rer suit, which had b-em In
stituted during the Roosevelt administra
tion, had been diamiused at the dictation
of Mr. Wickernham. under tbe Toft iid
mintstration, for the inadequate reasnnthat
the Massachusetts legisisture had pai-ped
