railroad Consultations
(From the New York Heraid.)

Certain obstacles to railroad con-
solidations, many or few, must be
overcome before any scheme can be
put into effect The transportation
act provides that no consolidation
shall take place without the consent
Of the Interested railroads. II seems
unlikely that strong roads will as
sumo without protest the burden Of
weaker links which formerly were
competitive lines. The very weak
ness OF the weaker roads was an as
set to the stronger ones, because the
latter carriers were saved the trouble
and expense OF serving Improbable
territory.
Before the rate making power
passed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the weaker roads pos
'sessed a partial remedy for their ills
because they could raise tariffs in
some places TO make up part OF the
losses in others. Now that compen-
sation is gone. They are real orphans.
Another troublesome problem is
the collective use OF terminals. How
far this may impede the proposed
consultations is a question. The
summary action of the Government

tage OF concentrating traffic at the
