RAIL SECURITIES OWNERS
OPPOSE CONSOLIDATION
Association Urges All Mem
bers 10 Prepare to Meet
Question.
IEv As.ncintrd I,rcss. /

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-Thc Nation
al Association Of owners OF Railroad
Securities today issued Il statement
defining it's attitude on the tentative
plan OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for Il consolidation of the
railroads OF the country into nine
teen distinct systems.
The association declares that while
under the transportation act the
plan adopted by the commission can
not be enforced without assent Of Sc
curity owners. 1t does have brdm:
effect on the railroads IN that when
the commission decides upon a per
mancnt general plan of corsolida-
ton. no future consolidation Of rail
roads can bc mad" unless in accord
ancc with that plan.
In urging holders oc securities to
unite with III" association the state
mcnt says: "lf there is IL time when
those who OWN the securities OF rail
roads should prepare to meet the
questions now presented. IL is when
their assent is essential to effect so
complete 4 change as il contcm-
plated i'll the relation Of their sccuri-
ties Ia the properties that issued
them, and which may adversely affect
their value.
1T is sclf-evident that an impartial
analysis of any plan of consolidation
or of the questions to be considered
IN reaching conclusions in respect to
consultations. under the terms OF the
act. can best be attained through
an agency representing in its broad
or aspect. all classes OF secuf tiles is
sued by all carriers rather than hv
any particular railroad. Such am
agency Is represented in the board OF
economies and engineering appointed
by this aSsociatlon.'

.MO10FGAH SPRINGS
CARRIED TYPHOID.

Gradually two of the worst cpl
denies of typhoid and scarlet
fever that has prevailed in Monon-
cah for a long time is now being
checked at the mining town. A
number of cases of diphtheria have
also been reported. For the past
two months DR.. j. A. Riedy and
DR.. A. P. Smith have been working
almost night and day rendering
services to the sick.
During the period of two months,
there have been q total of twenty
cases of typhoid fever and twenty
cases of scarlet fever. While some
of the cases have been very serious
the majority have been rather mild.
The health authorities made o
test of the various wells and
springs in the city which are used
exclusively for drinking purposes
and the result was astonishing. OF
a total of Is wells and one spring
tested, only seven of the wells were
safe for use. The others were
closed under the order of the
health department and since they
have been closed there has been .
marked decrease in the number Of
typhoid fever cases. Comparative
" few people at Monongah have
taken the typhoid vaccine.
