PRESIDENT TOURGE
RAILROAD MERGERS
Believed Convinced That
Public Interests Demand
Action by Congress.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Still convinced that the railroads OF
the country would be greatly improV-
ed and the interests of the public bet
ter served by a practical system OF
railroad consultations, President
Coolidge will make recommendations
to the next session of Congress that
legislation be enacted making possible
desirable mergers. This is the opinion
of more than one person who has dis
cussed the subject with the Executive
recently.
President Coolidge has given the
impression that he has no doubt about
the benefits to be derived by proper
consultations. and that he looks upon
this as q means of solving one of the
great problems before the carriers of
the country at this time. He believes
proper system of merging would
serve to save the smaller and less
prosperous railroads and at the same
time go long way toward making
1t possible to effect a lowering of rail
road rates. Several proposals to bring
about consultations have been laid
before the President within the past
year. but he has never committed
himself to any one definite plan. al
though he has approved the principles
Of several.
Confers With Alfred p. Thorn.
During his stay at the White Pine
Camp. the President touched upon
the question of consultations with
several of his callers and today he
discussed the subject with Alfred =.
Thorn. general counsel for the Asso-
citation of Railroad Executives.
Mr.. Thorn said afterward that he
told the President the bill introduced
by Representative Parker of New
York. chairman of the House inter
state commerce committee. providing
for permiSsive consultations and CON
tanning nothing in it that would make
consultations compulsory. was ac-
ceptable to the railroads. lie said
he left with the President. for the
latter's study, a copy of the statement
he made before the House committee
last year dealing with the merits of
the Parker bill.
The President had indicated that he
is fairly we'll convinced that the ESch-
Cummins act of 1920 does not make
it possible to effect the railroad con
Aolidation, and for that reason he is
hoping legislation will he enacted at
an early date that will completely
serve the purpose.
The present transportation act is
not sufficiently broad in it's scope nor
definite in its purpose to serve the
objects the President is trying to Oh
tain. At the present time the Presi-
dent is Of the opinion that Congress
should authorize consolidation under
