In any consolidation" he said.
Senator Cummins, Republican
Iowa, author OF the consolidation
measure, said there was no COM
pulsory requirement except that
where the carriers had not acted
voluntarily within a specified time
the Interstate Commerce Commission
would treat the roads in certain sec
tions as one group and apportion
earnings among them.
Claim Action Compulsory.
That is compulsory consolidation
by indirection," said Mr.. Cain, He
asked that an expert commission
study out plan to prevent gam
ping with a situation which might
work injury to the weaker roads"
Mr.. Cain said the Van Sweringen
orothers are proposing to leave out
number of short-line roads connect
ing with the system because they will
not come In on less than their physi-
cal valuation.
Ihe consolidation proposed by the
van Sweringens embraces the Nickel
rate, the Chesapeake and Ohio. the
hooking Valley, the Erie and the
Pere Marquette. Mr.. Cain declared
the commission had been approyiue o
consultations leaving out short lines
which II had indicated should be en-
Draced in the proposed mergers. and
ne urged that Congress force change
in policy.

gressive buying on the part of a

basis for the upward swing of the
