Officials deny knowledge of cost-bill blamed on employees
Boston Elevated Railway Company officials asserted they had no part in a proposed bill drafted by attorney Russell Sears. The measure would shift fault for accidents onto employees, forcing operators to pay fines and allowing wages to be docked, with all railways potentially affected.
