P. R. R. TO Be HEAD
OF RAIL SYSTEM
Directors Plan Acquisition
ofPennsylvania Co., Which
Controls Western Lines
CONSOLIDATION IN
LINE WITH POLICY

AS a further step toward consolidst-
Ing all the subsidiary lines OF the Penn
sylvania railroad into one operating
system. Samuel Rea, president Of the
Pennsylvania announced yesterday that
The directors are considering the acqul-
stion OF the Pennsylvania company
with a view 10 operating the lines west
Of Pittsburgh by tho Pennsylvania
railroad directly. The Pennsylvani4
railroad owns all the stock of the
Pennsylvania company, which controls
the roads IN the Western system, but
operation Of these lines is largely in
he hands Of the individual roads.
The lines marked for immediate merg-
Ing are the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railway, the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh railroad.
Consideration Of the subsidiary lines
has been taking niace for several years
In the effort Of the railroad company
to bring the relationship OF controlled
companies closer 10 the operating head
OF the system.
The Pennsylvania railroad has ii5
separate roads embraced in its system,
ia Of which, said Mr.. Rea. should
be eliminated The elimination Of the
expense necessary for making up re-
ports I'm each Of these companies, he
pointed out, was needless. In the en-
tire country there arc more than 1900
roads, which. said Mr.. Rea, could be in
,luded IN dozen Of the most import
ant systems.
The policy Of the merging OF sub
sidiary units Of the Pennsylvania struck
4 big pace recently, when a consolida-
lion of roads on the Western lines.
headed by the Nandalia and the Pan
Handle was effected This group hew-
,ver. cannot be taken directly into the
system, as there is a certain amount
II stock still outstanding in the hands
n the public. The best that can be
expected at present Is lease agree
meni. although the merged companies
are omcered by Pennsylvania railroad
officials. Further steps toward consoli-
iation were brought about early this
month. when the Philadelphia, Balti.
more and Washington Railroad. com
prising tlU line from Philadelphia to
Washington, was leased for 900 years
The only large units on the Eastern
lines sill owned. but not merged. arc
the West Jersey, and seashore. the Ions
Island and the Western New York and
Pennsylvania.
The ultimate aim Of the railroad ex-
ecutives Of the larger roads is TO OBJ
tain strict Federal control Of railroads
Including, as % will, Federal incor-
poration. While all railroad heads havr
been outspoken for this change from
state control. President Rca and Franl
Trumbull, chairman Of the Chesapeakl
and Ohio Railroad, and also Of the
railway executive advisory board havi
been the chief eXponents Of the move
