WATSON HAS NO PROGRAM

Thinks Congress Should Await
Outcome of Nickel Plate Merger
and Coal Situation.
Photos Copyright by Miller Service.

Plans for general railroad legisla-
ton at the next session of Congress
should await a clarifying of the
anthracite coal situation and deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the proposed Nickel Plato
merger, in the opinion OF Chairman
Watson of the Senate interstate com
merce committee.
Senator Watson said yesterday that
he expected to discuss the whole situ-
alton with President Coolidge later,
and regarded the present as too early
to undertake to formulate any pro-
gram for amendment of the trans
portation act
Legisla ton looking to the speeding
up of voluntary consultations of the
trunk systems occupied much of the
attention of the Senate committee at
the last session, but agreement upon
any one of several plans proved i'm
possible. Some of those favoring such
legislation are hopeful that the out
come of the Nickel Plate question will
point the way to a partial solution at
least of this problem.
