CHICAGO. Dec. l5.-The Chronicle
says: The selection of Norman b.
Ream and James J. Hill as directors of
the Erie railroad means that the Ar.
mour. Ream. Field syndicate, which a
short time ago went into the Baltimore
and Ohio road, has secured strong
grip on the Erie system. 1t is not
known to what extent the other mem.
bers of the Chicago syndicate have in.
vested in the Erie, but it is the opinion
that they have bought as heavily as
they did in the Baltimore and Ohio,
and Messrs Ream and Hill were Sc.
lected to represent the syndicate. Tho
deal is but another part Of the scheme
to amalgamate as much of the railway
systems of the country under one in
terest as possible. The scheme was be-
gun about year ago and so we'll has it
been managed that now there is not q
great system in the East that is not
owned outright by the same men OF
syndicates with which they are inter-
ested. It is expected that within O
year the Western territory will be as
tightly bottled up as has been the East
ern field. It is believed Hill has been
brought into the Erie as sort of a
practical reorganizer rather than an in.
vestor, as he was in the Baltimore and
Ohio. The failure to get a pooling bill
through congress is said to be the rea-
son of the extension of the scheme Of
amalgamation. With such an excel
lent comfy of ownership and control
the earnings of the different roads may
be easily divided without recourse to
illegal contracts.
