CONSOLIDATION OF RAILROADS
 RECOMMENDED BY BANKERS

Boston, Oct. e.-The committee on railroad securities of the Investment Bankers Association of America in its report submitted at the closing session of the bankers annual convent;un today said that the logic of the railroad situa- ton pointed unmistakably toward con oscillation. .s
 While in the judgment of the com mittee, the report said The law has wisely made such consultations per missive rathern than compulsory. sound business judgment will perceive. the bus mess opportunities and can be relied upon to bring about this logical solution of many of the problems involved
 John F. Oldham of this city, member of the committee said he believed the de- ,velopment of aFnational system of trans- portation along the lines of consolida- tion of the railroads into limited num- Der of strong, competing systems to be both practical and desirable. He ex- pressed the opinion that with the co-op- eration of all big interests involved such system could be established without disturbing the relationships of ownership and control which now exists"
 Such a system once established" he said, would greatly simplify the prob lems of regulation. and many of the problems which have been the cause of much misunderstanding and agitation in the past would automatically, disappear '
 He said the weak railroads should first be made financially strong by re- adjustment of their capitalization to the approximate value of the property for rte taking, purposes, adding that the rail roads as whole were now on their way to prosperity.

AID FOR MANY IMMIGRANTS
 EXPECTED FROM HOLLAND

New York, Oct e-Assurance has been given to S. L. Veenstra, secretary of the Netherlands Emigration League by Immigration Commissioner Wallis on Ellis Island, that the United States au- thorities will aid in placing many inn migrants from Holland who are plan ming to come to America. MT veenstra said that many thousands of Dutch were applying for passports to the United States and that he had established a branch of the emigration league here.
 There are three principal causes for our people wanting to come here" said Mir Veenstra.. 'a'First there is naturally an accumulation of emigrants because of the years of war. Secondly, Holland is being overcrowded by thousands of war refugees from other countries and, thirdly, many of our people are simply sick of Europe and all things European. But let it be understood that they are not leaving Holland because they cannot make a living there. They are most prosperous people and most of them will buy homes in the United States. They prefer farming and for. that reason am sure they will be welcome here" (
