CHESAPEAKE & OHIO
TRANSFER IS URGED
Great Advantages Outlined
in Plea for Approval Made
Before !. &C.

Plans of O. =. Van Sweringen of
Cleveland and his associates for TAX
ing control OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad were laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today, and no
opposition to the design was pre-
sented from any quarter.
Witnesses called in behalf of the
Van Sweringen group, including J. j..
Bernet. president of the New York,
Chicago and St. Louis. declared the
association of the Chesapeake and Ohio
with the other lines now controlled by
the Van Sweringens would lead to
betterment of the public service and ex-
tension of traffic facilities, especially
increasing the flow of coal from terri
tory south of the Ohio river to the
middle west and eastern consuming
centers.
Public interest will be advanced,
all the witnesses declared. if the
Cleveland group is allowed to take
board of directors of the Chesapeake
and Ohio.
Many Traffic Advantages.
The great difficulty and shsrt-
coming which the Chesapeake and
Ohio system has. if any, is its in
ability to rid itself of the traffic
Mr.. Bcrnet declared in explaining the
operating advantages which would
result from consolidating the con-
troll of all the railroads concerned.
There is hardly any limit to the
amount of coal traffic which the road
oil &c tvAe
could get rid of the shipments to its
Connections.
The New York, Chicago and ST.
Louis, Mr.. Bernet continued. would
increase it's motive power and other
equipment with the idea of taking
over the Chesapeake and Ohio traf-
fic. There is no competition at pres
ent between the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the other roads which the Van
Sweringens control so that the COM
petition existing in railroad service
could not be lessened by the proposed
transfer of the Chesapeake and Ohio
CONTROL he added.
C. & o. Head Gives Views.
Similar views were expressed by
w. J. Harahan, president of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio.
I'VE are restricted now in the de-
veIopment of our road because our
connections cannot take the full
amount of business we can give" Mr..
Harahan declared I'VE know that
that ourselves, and have continuously
great amount of complaints from
shippers along our road who are fully
aware of the difficulties Only last
Saturday I met with operators of $50
coal mines to discuss poSsibi ilities Of
removing some Of the obstacles.
I'VE believe that the situation could
be very, much improved by the CO.
operation of connecting lines now in
Financial aspects of the proposed
transfer of control of the Chesapeake
and Ohio were discussed very briefly
by Mr.. Van Sweringen, who said he
considered the new owners would be
able to assure adequate financing.
