Boston Chamber Leaders Defend Canadian Roads in Transit Debate
At the Saturday committee session Mr Alden Speare of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and a representative of the Boston Executive Business Association opposed removing Canadian roads from American territory. They warned Boston rates west of Lexington would fall if freight moved solely via Hudson. They argued Canadian routes are fair and that New England suffers under rival trunks. Boston’s rivals were cited as New York Central and other lines, with Goodwin urging defense of a channel long used to connect Northwest and East and protesting any federal legislation harming regional interests.
