THEY CAN'T STOP

Henry Clews appears to believe that
the railroad merger is a good thing and
that it has come to stay. In the latest
issue of his Financial Review he says:
Community Of interest has put stop
to railroad wars and secured better and
more stable rates for transportation.
Traffic being heavy beca use Of the coun-
try's growth and activity, the railroads
are enjoying a period of prosperity far
beyond what was ever anticipated, and
there is little prospect of interruption
from new railroad building while this
community of interests lasts.
It is the permanence of this idea and
the division of the railroads Of the coun-
try into few great systems which the
big railroad magnates are. endeavoring
to establish Forces which they can not
control are driving them into these al
Iiances; for one combination conpels an
other, and the demands for efficiency,
economy and simplicity of method are
irresistible. Whether they win or no,
railroad managers, or the systems they
control. are obliged to buy into this
road and that road in order to prevent
absorption by a rival until all the out
lying roads are being rapidly segregat-
ed into one larger system or another.
1t is quite unnecessary to mention ex-
amples; they have been innumerable
during the last few years.
