SOUTHWEST RAILWAY
MERGER OUTLINED
Loree Plan Said to Embrace Mis-

as Possible Nucleus.
Nv ,ba Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The revised
plan for the Southwest railroad until
cation, sponsored by Leonor F. Loree,
is believed to revolve around either the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas or a new
company, as a nucleus, 1t was learned
here yesterday, instead of the Kan
sas City Southern, the proposed key
road in the original plan, rejected by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Activity of the stocks on the ex-
change yesterday was accompanied by
ru.nors that the deal was projected on
an exchange of common shares on the
basis of two of Katy" for one of Got
ton Belt" Aside from declaring that
a tentative draft of the new plan has
been made. Mr.. Loree declined to dis
cuss his consolidation plan except In
general terms.
"a good deal of work has been done
in preparing a new PLAN" said Mr.:
Loree, "and tentative draft has been
made which, it is believed, overcomes
the grounds on which the original pro-
posal was disapproved.
sHThe board of the Missouri, Kansas
G. Texas discussed the ne,T plan in
preliminary way this week, and will
give 1t further consideration at meet
ing next Monday.
There are many parties to consult
before finally drawing up the plan for
resubmission to the commission. This
is being done as rapidly as possible,
and it is our hope that the work can
be completed in the fairly near future"

UNION MINE RANKS
SPLIT BY DISPUTE
Many Demand Adoption of
Wage Scale and Permission
to Resume Work.
by the Associated Press.


JACKSONVILLE, Ohio, June 1s.-4A
split in the ranks of union miners In
the Hooking Valley coal field seemed
inevitable as a result of a meeting of
mine workers near here yesterday.
Immediately following the meeting,
which broke up in a babble of heck
ling, it was announced an Independent
union would be formed by miners who
wished to go back to work and that
five mines In che field would reopen
next week.
The announcement was made by En-
met Searles, president of the miners
local at the Jacksonville Mine and Coal
Co, and leader of the insurgent group.
He said the new union would make a
contract with the operators next week
on the 1917 wage scale basis of S. a
day.
The movement is sponsored by
Searles, who called today's meeting.
When he outlined plans for the new
union some of the miners in the au-
dience, which was composed largely of
union men, raised a clamor. A mo-
ton to indorse the union went I'M
needed. Searles in his talk declared
the officials of the union did not have
the interests of the miners at heart.
Shortly afterward some one in the
crowd shouted Lets go home"
Immediately there was q rush, and
about half the men left the meeting
and went to a nearby woods, where
they held a trump" session.
No definite action was taken on the
proposal to organize a new independ-
ent union, but Searles after the meet
ing declared he and his supporters
would go ahead with plans for Hook
ing Valley union and that the organi-
Zation meeting would be held no later
than next Tuesday.
