MERGER OF THE BIG FOUR.
Almost Certain to BE an Integral
Part of New York Central.


New York, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune says:
The interests in control of the New York
Central have under consideration a plan
for merging the Big Four Railroad into the
New York Central system The ownership
OF the big railroad Is vested absolutely in
the Vanderbiits. This was announced some
time ago, ana il was shown by the pubic
reports made by the New York Central.
For some time a merger OF the properties
has been contemplated. but # was not un-
til recently that the lplan took definite
shape. 1t has been known for long time
that II was at the disposal of the Wander
bilt interests, and its manifest destiny was
to become an integral part Of the New York
Central. IL Is said that the New YORK
Central will be helped 10 a marked degree
by the merger.
Upon just what basis the absorption will
take place cannot be stated, but there is a
report that the stockholders will be asked
to exchange stock for 3.2 per cent New
York Central bond.
Another step. in line with the railroad
mergers and consultations now going On.
was taken Saturday, when the control of
the Cincinnati. Portsmouth and Virginia
Railroad passed to the Norfolk and West
ern. The Norfolk and Western is owned by
the New York Central-Pennsylvani COM
birati0n. These two systems Jointly pur-
chased the property, as they did the Ches-
apeaks and Ohio. BY this purchase the
Norfolk and Western gets a terminal in
Cincinnati and connection with the Big
Four. 1t Is said that the terminals of the
Ohio property in Cincinnati will be en-
larged and improved and much traffic from
the West will be diverted to the Norfolk
and Western. BY this combination a clear
line is secured for the New York Central
and Pennsylvania combination from CHI
cago and St. Louis to tide water at Norfolk
The two systems forming this line-the
Norfolk and Western and the Big Four
are controlled absolutely by the Pennsyl-
varia-New York Central combination.
