FARLEY ON MERGER
NOT T0BE PUBLIC
Citizens Federation Denied
Part in Considering Street
Railway Problem.

Request by the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations that 1t be permit
ted to participate in the street rail-
way merger meetings. which begin
in the District building next Tuesday.
has been denied The federation's
proposal was presented by William
NICK. Clayton at the preliminary
merger conference held at the Capitoi
this week between the Public UtH-
tiles Comm issfon and members OF the
Senate and House District commit
tees.
1t was the opinion of several OF the
congressman that as the public's in
terests are represented by the util-
tiles commission there was no good
reason for giving the public addi-
tiona1 representation: rms view mas
prevailed and next weeks confer
ences, it is announced. will begin with
but six persons in attendance-two
representatives each OF the commis-
sion and the two railway companies.
In anticipation OF the conIerence
stages, Commissioners kutz and oys-
ter. the utilities board representa-
tiyes, are disposing rapidly OF mat
ters pending in their respective de-
partments, in order that they may be
free to give the bulk OF their time 10
the merger problem.
Mr. RudoIph's Dutie. Enlarged.
The burden Of running the District
government will fall largely upon
Commissioner Rudolph while the
merger negotiations are under way.
One prophecy is as good as another
as to what will be the duration or
outcome of the conferences. The first
problem will be to find basis for a
merger. There are three suggested
bases and each will have an advo-
cate Some will advocate all three.
These possible starting points are VAL
uation, relative earning power ana
outstanding securities.
If merger basis can be agreed
unon there will remain the super
structure to be erected upon it-a
work that unquestionably Will call
for time and extended conferences
Finally. if the conferees report out
merger plan. the stockholders OF
IT. for. in the final analysis, they have
ownership rights which cannot be
abridged.
RI basic principles of a merger can
be worked cut satisfactorily, the con-
ferees will face a delicate task in
considering the question of personnel.
Pruning II Possible.
1t is assumed the present operating
forces would be pruned considerably
and that one of the first economies
to result from a merger would be a
reduced salary account. One COM
many or the other. apparently. will
nlace the best brains in it's organi-
zation at the head of the consolidated
company, but who wilt determine
which company is to have the ascen-
dency is the problem that no light
has been shed upon.
Commissioner Oyster. author of the
conference plan, originally considered
proposing q compromise on the valua-
lions with the view of establishing
basis for merger. The valuation
. situation undoubtedly will be can
yassed at the conference. but consid-
Grafton will be given as Well to the
relative earning power Of the COM
panies and their outstanding securi-
ties and doubtless other possible
bases for a merger.

He had intended, however. to visit
