New Haven Trolley Lines And Railroad Conflicts
After days of talks with Attorney General McReynolds, New Haven Railroad officials hope for a practical plan for reorganization or a court dissolution. Mr Elliott's return to Washington is expected to push negotiations toward either settlement or dissolution, as the Interstate Commerce Commission weighs trolley line ownership and competing steamship interests under the Panama Canal act. The dispute centers on ownership of trolley lines and the water carrier competition, with further action anticipated in Washington and New York.
