Merger of New England
Roads Urged at Hearing
Grouping in One System Sug-
gested AS Consolidation With
Competing Trunk Lines
1nfcrcsfpd
1NfCrCSfGd

BOSTON, Dec. 13.-Grouping of the
New England railroads as unit. con-
troll OF which would remain entirely in
this section, was suggested to-day at q
public hearing before the joint New
England Commission on Domestic and
Foreign Commerce as plan for con-
solidating the roads under the trans
portation act of 1920.
The proposal, drafted by George L.
Crooker Of Providence, r. L., vice
president of the commission, was pre-
sonted by Edward G. Southwick Of
Providence.
"Thc New England railroads should
be grouped to form one corporation"
said Mr.. Southwick, with securities
issued upon their physical valuation in
q manner acceptable to the fnanciers.
A part of these securities could be ex-
changed for corresponding securities
of the major trunk lines upon terms
that would be equitable and satisfac-
tory.
"Such plan would not stop the
natural competition of the various
trunk lines, as their interests in the
New England group would be rep:e-
sented purely by their holdings, and
one trunk line would naturally com
pete with the others for the long haul
over its own line for freight move
ment. These trunk lines would simply
be stockholders in the New England
group"

N. Y. State Report, However,
Shows Continued Gain
in Many Lines; Apparel
Lines Show Largest Drop

ALBANY, Dec. 13. - Seasonal inac-
tivity i'll some lines and labor troubles
halted the upward movement of fac
tory employment in this state in No
vember, according to q report issued
to-day by Henry ID. Sayer, Industrial
Commissioner. Further evidence of a
gradual recovery from the depression
of the last year, however, appeared in
some industries.
"A rising trend of employment in the
metal products industries appears to
be established, as a further gain of
nearly 3 per cent occurred. The wood
provement. An increase in employ
ment was reported by few paper
mills. but the industry is still much
below normal. Paper box factories
were more active than in October be-
cause of the holiday requirements, and
wall paper factories reported gain in
employment.
The chief reductions in employment
occurred III the wearing apparel and
allied industries, due largely to the
Gull season and partly to labor troubles
in the cloak and suit industry Of New
York City. The womcn's clothing in
dustry as whole showed the largest
reduction, but the mems clothing in
dustry, the women's undergarments in
dustry the shoe industry and the felt
shoe and felt hat industries showed
considerably reduced activity in No
vcmber.
Other declines in employment oc-
CURED in the leather, glove and lug
gage industries, in the rubber goods
industry, and in some silk mills and
woolen mills. The carpet and rug in
dustry showed further gain and some
worsted mills and knit goods mills
employed larger working forces in No
vember than in October.

MONTREAL, Dec. l3.-Another new
tonnage record has been established by
the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines,
the latest achievement being approx
mately 4,700 tons treated in twenty
four hours. This does not represent
the average, but indicates likelihood
of the daily average for December be-
ing over 1000 tons. The company en-
rloys 2,200 men and shows a tonnage of
two for each man.
These achievements are giving rise
to speculation as to a possible increase
in dividend disbursements next year.
Net profits during the last half Of the
year have far exceeded dividend re-
quirements. The company will have
disbursed $16,426,00O in dividends with
the close of 1921.
