Massachusetts urged to reject lease and buy Boston and Albany line
The Massachusetts Legislature faces a choice on leasing the Boston and Albany Railroad to a large trust for 99 years with guaranteed rents. Opponents argue a purchase would save more than $1,000,000 yearly and reduce freight rates, while opening public ownership of railroads. The statement also endorses direct democracy and public ownership of utilities and pays tribute to William Jennings Bryan.
