Mergers, Old and New

The Interstate Commerce Com
missions railroad grouping plan has
been criticized in some quarters as
return to the merger policy which
the government stoutly opposed when
the railroads tried to practice it, The
Department of Justice fought the
Great Northern Northern Pacific
merger and secured an annulment
from the Supreme Court. The Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems
were also severed by legal DEGREES.
The new principle of grouping is
not the same, however. Competing
trunk lines were sought to be
brought together in the earlier
mergers with view to lessening
competition. Under the new plan
non-competitive trunk lines are to
be joined or feeders to be combined
with trunk lines. Interpenetrating
regional groups are to be consti-
tuted, with view to preserving
indirect competition. Geographical
areas are to compete for access to
their markets and for improved rail
road facilities. That sort Of COM
petition would be more helpful than
the rate cutting warfare of the past
Federalization, not nationaliza-
tion, of the railroads is the key to
the Esch-Cummins acts merger
policy. With uniform rates national-
ization of the McAdoo sort puts on
the roads a vast diversity of eco
nomic burdens. Roads under pri-
vate ownership, unable to dip into
the Treasury to meet deficits, can
not carry them with equal success.
Many must perish, and a clamor for
national operation and ownership
would then arise in the interest of
the owners of such properties, of
the labor employed on them and of
the shippers they serve. But the
country is sick of government oper-
alton Of the land carriers and of
shipping. It has proved amazingly
wasteful and inefficient. The remedy
in sight, according to the trainers
of the Esch-Cummins act, is fair
consolidation Of non-competing re-
gional systems, which will enable the
carriers in each region to operate
to better advantage under uniform
rates.
This cannot mean, Of course, that
the efficient, economically managed
properties are to be sacrificed TO the
restoration Of the weak and poorly
managed ones. The strong, solvent
roads ought not to be penalized for
having remained strong and solvent
under adverse conditions. They are
the bulwarks Of such a transporta-
ton scheme as the Esch Cunmins
act contemplates. The private
ownership system must rest IN the
sort Of competency and so!idity
which many Of the big systems have
been able to attain.

Big Six

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ono Of your correspondents
asks how "Matty" got the nickname
big Six" II my memory serves me
the answer is this: In 1907 or 1908
when "Matty" was at the top Of his
stride he worked III his off baseball sea
son as an auto salesman. The manu-
facturers of the car he sold l think
about the time Of "Matty's" connection
brought out car they. called the Big
Six which was supposed to be the
last word in the way of speed. power
and smoothness. And that's what
"Matty" was in his profession God
bless him, J. r. JOHNSTON.

The Stanley Amendment

To the Editor cf The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent William
Sheafe Chage, when he confines his ar
gument on the Stanley amendment to
its constitutionality is we'll within his
rights. A difference Of opinion on con-
stitutional questions is well recognized
the Supreme Court justices, with
their trained legal minds, have often
decided them by divided court. But
when he accuses those who favor the
amendment of being actuated by mo-
tives to aid bootleggers he goes be-
yond bounds.
The Stanley amendment was passed
unanimously. All the Senators be-
lieved that enforcement Of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment was required to be
limited by the Fourth
Amendment. The Senators who to-day
uphold the amendment as they did at
first on constitutional grounds are in
a far better position than those who
first voted for it and are now against
it. These latter stand upon the un-
tenable position that the cause of pro-
hibition and its enforcement are su-
perior to the Constitution, which they
had previously recognized by their vote

State Club Reorganized
By Republican Women
Miss Mary L. Wood Elected
President of Body, Which Had
Lapsed Since Suffrage Came

Republican women who shrink from
joining mems distict clubs are to be
taken care Of through the newly re-
organized New York State Women's Re-
publican Club.
Miss Mary L. Wood was elected presi-
dent at meeting yesterday afternoon
at the Waldorf-Astoria, and plans were
made for perfecting a statewide or
ganization. The association is nineteen
years old, but lapsed into inactivity
when the women received the vote and
werc eligible to join the mems political
clubs.
1--WE have learned that a great many
upstate women will not join the mems
clubs" said Miss Wood yesterday. III
have been told by many men leaders
that they could not get the women into
the political rooms. Women are not
used to mixing with men; they like
their own little clubs and their own
officers. They like to talk about politi-
cal questions from their own point Of
view, and are embarrassed in presenting
their viewpoints to the more expert
enced men,"
In addition to Miss Wood the Off
GERS elected were: Mrs: Clinton B.
Smith and Mrs. Thomas B. Slack, vice
presidents; Mrs. W. Hotchkins, corre-
spending secretary; Miss Laura Skin
ner, recording secretary, and Mrs. Jes-
sic Higgins, treasurer. Mrs. James G.
Wentz, Mrs. Rose Falls Bres, Mrs. Cor
nelia Robinson and Mrs. Emma Kip
Edwards were among those who assisted
IN the rejuvenation Of the club.
