WITHDRAW PLAN TO RE- ORGANIZE
WABASH RAILROAD, DECLARING The
CONDITIONS IN u. S. UNFAV0RABLE

New York, Oct 1.-THE committee
which recently undertook to reorganize
the Wabash Railroad Co. has notified the
public service commission of Missouri
ana the state public utilities commission
of Illinois of its withdrawal of the plan
submitted to those two bodies few
months ago
In reaching this conclusion the commit
tee stated that it has not treated as a
decisive condition of this matter the I'M
paralieled catastrophe of the war in Eu-
rope, but that it has been actuated in
large part "by conditions which pertain
to this country alone"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-10-16

The committee considered the attitude
of the federal and state governments,
saying ir part:
1.-THE situation of the Wabash is not
unique. Its position is in the path which
all the railways of this country are fol-
lowing in varying stages of progress.
There can be but one of two outcomes
disaster to the railways and all the
railways represent in their relations to
investments, savings, insurance and to
general business as well as to public pol
icy which has carried SO far beyond the
interests and demands of the people and
so far beyond the remedy for evils sough
to be corrected"
