Bridge and Tunnel Plank

will include a plank condemning
the way in which the bridge and
tunnel commission has handled its

ence. The former remained in
Washington because of legislation
there and Senator Edge explained
this to politicians, both at the Tren-

CONSOLIDATION
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Any
attempt to consolidate the railroads
of the United States into a number
of systems will be bitterly opposed
by the railroads. This already has
been mSde plain, unofficially, to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
though hearings on the question have
not been begun. Indications are that
it will take years to formulate a
program that will stand the slightest
chance for approval.
Oficials of the commission today
pointed out that many had re-
ceived the impression that the pro-
posed consolidation has been APP
proved by the commission. This,
thew insisted, is erroneous, as the
Man made public Is only that an
examiner for the commission who.
under instruction, made a survey OF
the transportation systems and rem

takings the French delegation enters
