MERGER PLAN
IS NOT VERY
DEFINITE

Fan River Mass. Feb. s--The revival
of tho discussion relating TO a merger
of Fall River cotton mills print works
and hleacheries IS a development OF
long period of depression In the trade
As yet no definite step has been taken
by any corporation tn tho direction Of
a combine and mill owners do not expect
that any plan VIII ue acted upon at
present
Such a project has been advocated by
soSle OF the local treasurers In past years
but each time any settled plan has been
considered the difficulties have been so
great that attempts 10 bring about
merger have been abandoned
Thus far there has been no indication
that the present informal discussion will
result In anything tangible All stock
holders are anxious 10 bring about great
er enonomy in the local industry. but most
s them fear that one corporation created
out % tho existing companies would be
unwieldy and that the more prosperous
mills would be tho losers through an asso-
ciation with concerns not In as strong
a position.
