Boston Business Groups Align With Oil Trade Over Rail Policy

At a Boston Executive Business Association meeting, leaders and a guest from the Oil Trade Association urged cooperation to oppose a proposed change to the interstate commerce law. They argued Boston would be cut off from inland western trade and bottled up by New York monopoly, citing benefits from Canadian rail lines and previous rebates. The assembly adopted a resolution to urge the Senate interstate commerce committee to maintain Canadian road privileges, with Goodwin and Jones added to the supporting committee.
