Chamber petitions protest Ives action over railroad hearings
Boston Chamber of Commerce directors defend Mr. Ives with a reply dated July 2 1912 stating no meeting authorized his appearance before the Interstate Commerce Commission and that filing a petition for a member meeting would come after the hearings begin. The letter cites notices and by law provisions and notes a later August 20 pause in hearings so a meeting could be convened if a 50 member petition requests it.
