road consolidation, the Interstate
Commerce Commission may COM
plete shortly its long delayed plan
for grouping railroads of the country
into limited number of systems.
This has been suggested as a pos

roads.

Financial Pyramid.

The commission majority, in re-
jecting the Loree plan, characterized
it as "a financial pyramid" and
doubted whether there were ade-
quate provision for the protection of
minority stockholders in the roads
being absorbed.
The lesson which the Wall Ctreet
Journal read from the decision was
that the commission condemns the
stock market approach to unifica-
ton"
However, the commission ma
Jority did not outline steps toward
consolidation which might be ap-
proved. This fact, stressed by dis
senting members, is held by many
to leave the question of railroad
consolidation up in the air, and to
make imperative a commission out
line of permissible consolidation
arrangements.
Then Final Plan
In 1920 Congress directed the
commission to draw up a prelimi-
nary consolidation plan, and after
hearings on that to form a final
plan.
The preliminary plan was out
lined, but steps to complete the
final plan have Jagged.
One reason is that Congress has
had under consideration legislation
which would not modify the con-
solidation program. making it
voluntary rather than compulsory.
and providing methods to protect
minority stockholders in con-
solidated roads.
