Wickersham Dismisses New Haven Railroads Antitrust Suit
Attorney General Wickersham orders dismissal of the US suit against the Boston & Maine and New York New Haven & Hartford railroads for antitrust violations. Massachusetts law now authorizes the Boston Holding Company to consolidate with Boston & Maine and with the New Haven system under state safeguards. The decision cites Massachusetts approval of the holding company and recent court rulings limiting trolley line ownership as reducing interstate competition claims.

The railroad transferred 119,000 Boston & Maine shares to John L. Billard of Meriden and moved to unwind Massachusetts trolley control as the merger of the two lines looms, with Billard's control of the B&M stock a potential hurdle.
