Forced Rail Unity
Is Cummins' Plan

Washington, Feb 2.--Senator Cum
minis favors legislation that will force
railroads TO merge into few systems.
Under the transportation act the
roads may unite but such action is not
mandatory. Some combines have been
effected but the roads object 10 TAX
ing over non-paying properties.
Senator Cummins said that the
roads as a whole can not be operated
by private ownership under present
rates without consolidation. BE
tween 65, ZOO and 10000 miles of roads
will have to be discontinued" he said,
unless consolidation is effected or
theonly other alternative--the roads
will be taken over by the government
and operated regardless of cost OF
ross to the treasury"
Testifying before senate commit
tee, Chairman Eastman of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, opposed
the Cummins' plan.
Mr.. Eastman favored "a gradual
and natural consolidation" He said
there has been a tendency to exagger.
ate the possible advantages of these
consultations. In favoring voluntary
merging, he said:
Economy and efficacy of opera
ton are much more than a matter OF
size. There are small railroad COM
panies which are a economically and
efficiently operated as any of the
great systems"

More Mine Killings

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. Or
ganized miners predict other mine dis

orators defiance of safety laws and
their employment of incompetent mine
workers.
The recent explosion of the jamie
son Coal and Coke company mine,
when 19 lives were lost, followed a
similar disaster at the Barrackville
mine, owned by the Bethlehem Mines
corporation. Both concerns abrogated

Van Bittner, representative OF the

the United States bureau of mines has
found that mine explosions are not
normal occupational disasters, but can
be prevented.

BOOST SOUTHERN
ARIZONA POINTS

PHOENIX, July 14.-Northern Ari-

business from the immense stream
of motor traffic flowing into that
region. The Automobile Club of
Arizona has been large factor in
increasing interest in the resort sec
tion of northern Arizona.
Manager Treadwell states that the
automobile club will soon open a
campaign to increase interest in the
winter resort section OF southern
Arizona believing that a wider knowl-
edge of highways, climatic advan
tages and scenic beauty will means
a largely increased motor travel.
There are many dude ranches,
small towns and large cities that
have especial advantages for winter
visitors seeking mild climate.
Hundreds of miles of excellent
motor highways make motor travel
a pleasure in the land Of old mis-
sions, early day mining activity, and
! large cattle ranches.
The automobile club believes that
greater knowledge of this region
spread throughout the east will re-
suit in a greatly increased flow OF
motor tourist travel into this favored
region during the winter months.
Manager Treadwell states that
especially attractive features of eli
mate and scenic beauty that will
attract visitors at certain seasons.
