Mr. Bran problem now before the Federal deis is the recognized leader of the New England forces against the J. P>Morgan.William Rockefeller land @nd water monopoly. He says: BY LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. The question prosented by the New \Maven-Grand Trunk incident ts thi ‘The New Haven had acquired a sub- stantial monopoly of all transportation fis New England, there being only the Ames of the Bangor and Aroostock in extreme north of Maine, and the Unes of the Grand ‘Trunk through Ver- ment, to New London and Portland, ‘which were independently owned, Grad- tally the Now Haven had acquired all « railroad lines in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and the great Boston and Maine system, with Its subsidiary Maine Central. Finalty, even the Boston and (Albany came under New Haven contrél by a partnership arrangement detween New York Central and the New ven. ‘The New Haven had also gradually @cquired practically all steamship lines necting Connecticut, Thode Island in Massachusetis with New York and @olnts South; and interests which were @ubstantially controlling in the steam~ Aines to Maine and Canada. | After all this had been accomplished degen of Massachusetts and Rhodo began to reaiize the evils of mo- Ropoly. The lack of progress in t tion facilities, followed by actual Soa mn of the service, and ult!- ately conditions which imperilied travel; the increase in rates and fares, @n@ the arrogant conduct ef the New Beven officials ultimately made the ppo- ple of Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and realize tie inevitable evils of poly and seek new avenues of com- tition after they had permitted the @id ones to he closed. WAY OPENED FOR THE GRAND , TRUNK AND COMPETITION, ‘The first step was taken when Rhode Ipland passed the necessary lesisiation to enable the Grand Trunk to extend fits line to Providence. Massachusetts epsented, so far as the line was to Pees through that State, Then the clamor became loud on behalf of the Prople of Massachusetts, and particu- Jerly the business men represented by the Boston Chamber of Commerce and r trade organizations, and supported e members of the State Legislature, tave the Grand Trunk extend its line to the port of Boston, The Legislature formally invited the Grand Trunk offt- ¢lals to make such extension; and final- Ay, against the persistent opposition of the New Haven, the necessary eg! tipa was passed by Mussachusetts. The building of the Grand Trunk ex- {tension to Providence was diligently pressed, and it was expected the road ‘would be open for operation during 1913 Im addition, contracts were let for the construction of additional Grand Trunk Steamers which were to sail between Providence and New York, Guddenly on Nov, 11 the pubile tearned that owing to certain negotiations which had been conducted between the New Haven and the Grand Trunk t work on the Grand drunk extens! ‘as to be immediately stopped.‘ Protest throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island was immediate, and it was felt that the New Haven, having failed to defeat the demand in the Legisiature of the peuple of both States taken had for a competitive system, had action nullifying the Jaws which been passed and defying the peo ‘will by suppressing competition through the reat power which the railroad Monopoly, supported by the fanciers, possesses; and that partly through through valuable to bribery, Mad Trunk to abandon ‘threats and partly concessions equivalent induced the Grand thelr project.
