RAIL MERGER IS
OPPOSED BY
LEAGUE
National Industrial Traffic
Representative Presents
Brief to !. c. c.
BY international News Service.

The plan of consolidating the rail-
roads into a limited number of sys-
TENS was condemned today by the
National Industrial Traffic League
in a statement filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, con.
Quoting hearings on the consolidation
plan. The statement was filed by
C. e. Childs, and declares that the
plan is contrary to public policy be-
cause it restricts competition and de-
stroys existing routes and channels
of commerce.
"The league greatly d o b t s
whether it would be possible to de-
wise any plans involving the forma-
ton of mammoth systems of rail-
roads substantially larger than the
principal systems at present exist
ing, such as the New York Central,
Pennsylvania, Southern, Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific, and at the
same time preserve competition and
maintain existing routes and chan
nels of trade" the statement said.
The statement pointed out that
each railroad, under present com
petitive conditions, must develop
traffic on its own lines and must
make rates which will permit of the
largest possible movement in coInpe-
tition with similar traffic of other
lines.
In the event the Central Of New
Jersey is consolidated with the New
York Central systems existing joint
rates and through routes would be
maintained, A. H. Smith. president
of the latter system, informed the
Commission. Such has been it's
policy in the past. the New York
Central relying upon service to get
the long-haul business, Smith stated.
Reciprocal switching of freight with
in the port district OF New York with
the competing lines was promised by
Smith in the event the Central Of
New Jersey Is consolidated with the

Only one-tenth IS Handled

American business men today are
estimated to be doing rs per cent OF
Russia's business. But out Of every
dollars worth Of goods they sell TO
Russia, they handle only 10 cents,
the other 80 cents going to British
and German middlemen, according 10
an estimate today by Herbert Hoover,
Secretary of Commerce, who said:
II have tried to get some actual
statistical data on the volume of our
trade with Russia. The difficulty
lies in determining the volume Of In
direct trade. Tor instance, our COT.
ton shipments to Russia are proceed
Ing through continental merchants
and are credited to the initial port of
their destination.
when we consider the character
OF Russia's imports. with the knoWl.
edge OF where these commodities
must arise, there Is no doubt in my
mind as to our furnishing at least 25
per cent Of the imports into Russia
at the present time
Figures tabulated by Hoover's de-
partment and taken originally from
the Soviet governments official re-
ports OF its trade show that one-half
OF Russia's import business this year
Was done directly by Germany, one
seventh by England, one-fifteenth hy
