Regarding Railroad Mergers.

Despite a furry here and there the
situation affecting, the. grouping OF the
country's carriers Is little advanced over
what II was at this time last year. The
opinion OF bankers that the mergers are
things which cannot be rushed appears
to be borne out In developments over
the past few months. The position TO
which bankers steadfastly subscribe is
that the stockholders OF the various sys-
TENS are the court OF last appeal in
any merger proceedings, and for this
reason the talk some time ago relative
to making the groupings compulsory fell
on deaf ears. Restoration of railroad
credit to greater degree is regarded as
prerequisite for mergers.

Publicity for Carriers.

Having decided to disassociate the re-

with public relations. the management
of the old organization is planning the
handling OF al routine reports regard
ing car loadings and earnings by the
American Railway Association, which
maintains offices in this city. The prob
lens which will inevitably come UP for
consideration by the carriers will hence
forth be handled by the several regional
conferences of executives. Enlargement
Of the scope Of the public relations work
OF these conferences Is TO be expected
shortly after the turn of the year.

Rail Executives Returning.

A number Of railroad officials already
have returned from the sessions of the
American Railway Association and the
Association of Railway Executives in
Chicago last week with a well defined
optimism regarding the transportation
situation throughout the country. 1t has
been found that the present heavy load
ings Of freight are general throughout
all sections Of the United States. The
outlook for substantial earning figures
for November and December Is bright
in view Of the fact that most expenses
incident to the shop strike have been
charged off. leaving the several carriers
in a position to reap the benefit Of their
activity.
