RAILROAD MERGER
PLAN READY SOON
Prof. Ripley to Outline Potential
Consolidation of Small
Non-Paying Lines.

Prof. r. X. Ripley, Harvard econo-
mist, by special request is hurryine
to completion a tentative plan Tor
consolidating the railroads into few
er systems. and expects soon to have
the charts of the plan before the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Of
ficials said today.
The plan now being drawn by Prof.
Ripley will furnish the basis upon
which the commission may work out
the problem of merging many Of the
less prosperous lines with those
more firmly established. for reasons of
economy and public service.
Proposals to consolidate numerous
small lines with the larger trunk line
systems already have been discussed
informally between rail executives
and officials of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The Commission, empowered by the
new rail act to proceed with the
mergers whenever they deem II wise
in the public interest, also has
gathered considerable data bearing
upon the problem. It's experts have
directed their attention solely to the
question of bringing together rail-
road lines which are now non-com-
peting.
Officials believed that serious con-
sideration may be given the problem
within few weeks. Some Of the rail
executives, themselves, have sug-
gested that greater economy in
operation can be more quickly real
lied through the merger OF various
groups.
In some quarters IL is believed that
this may eventually be the solution
of the financial and operating diff
culties OF the New England carriers, as
In the case OF other groups of roads
which are not now upon a paying
basis.
