Merger Debate Highlights New Haven Boston & Maine Pact

Brandeis who oppose the merger of the New Haven with the Boston & Maine. Byrnes said the cost of needed improvements is not estimated and that service would remain efficient at reasonable rates. Brandeis argued interstate commerce regulation cannot control the railroad, pointing to 600000 rates on Byrnes line and warning of potential mismanagement seen with the Boston & Albany under New York Central.
