ROCK ISLAND WOULD BUY
 ST. LOUIS SOUTHWESTERN
Now Owns Large Part of Capital Stock And Wants to Acquire
 Control.

Washington, May GA formal ap- plication for permission to acquire control of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad was filed today with the in- terstate commerce commission by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
 The Rock Island now owns slA,- 926,OO0 out of total $36,240,00 of St. Louis Southwestern capital stock outstanding, the application said, and Rock Island officials considered 1t advisable to lay the facts as to its recent purchase before the commis- sion before proceeding further.
 For the present, the Rock Island said, 1t is not proposed to merge the St. Louis Southwestern with the Rock Island for operation. It was added, however that the two roads, operating comparatively, would he able to compete more efficiently in transportation south of St. Louis and might institute some economies in operation.
 Tho commerce commissions ten. tative railroad consolidation plan, which suggests the linking of the Rock Island with the Southwestern, was cited as ground for approving the application.
