NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE
merger Of $4,000 miles Of railroad in
the Northwest into one great system
moved a step nearer realization today
with announcement of unification
plans of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroads.
Against opposition of receivers for

the merger committee of the North
ern companies advertised their plans
in the newspapers today, preparatory
to seeking approval of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission.
Northern Committee
The c., M. & st. p, receivers were
expected to oppose the merger be-
fore the commission on the ground
that the troubles of other Northwest
lines should be settled before any
consultations or reorganiations are
permitted.

plan is briefly as follows:
A new railroad company would
be formed. which would exchange its
stock for that of the Northern
Pacific & Great Northern, share for
share.
The new company would assume
control of the 11,400.mile system OF
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
owned jointly by the two Northern
companies. The new company would
operate the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Spokane.
Portland and Seattle Railway as one

the effect the farm legislation bills

from the floor of the cotton exchange
to the effect that acreage might be

of the situation brought selling and
a decline, which also was noted in
the grain markets. In foreign eX-

OLD INDUSTRIAL
LEADERS SWING
BACK TO FRONT.
Important Brokerage Loan
and Railroad Merger Re-
ports Made.
By Elmer c. Waller
Manager United Press Financial
Service.

ocINlCS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The old
time industrial leaders, United States
Steel common and General Motors
swung back into the front of an up
ward movement on the New York
Stock Exchange as the new week
was ushered in. This class of stocks
gained sharply in active demand
throughout the day Monday, the
average price of twenty industrials
rising more than point and a half.
Steel was up 2ss and General Mo-
tors 31s at the end of the day and
substantial gains were noted through
out the entire list.
At the close of the market two
important announcements were
made. The first, published Monday,
was the report Of brokerage loans
showing a reduction of more than
50 900 900 and the second far more
important for Tuesday release, that
Of the unification plan for the vast
merger Of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific which will soon be
submitted to the Interstate COM
merce Commission for approval.
The latter may set off horde of
other railroad consultations now in
the making.
Further Rise
The decline in brokerage loans
shows the market in better tech
meal position with stocks more
strongly held and will be factor for
a further rise today. However, to-
day some 140 stocks sell ex-dividend
which may bring apparent declines,
on the other hand. 10 companies are
to pay dividends, the funds of which
will be available for stock and bond
market purposes. incidentally the
bond market needs some incentive
for it has been steadily declining for
the past week or more and ION Nom
day continued downward many
foreign issues dropping more than

AS the new leaders took their place
at the front Of the old ones of week
ago were relegated TO the back
ground, Wheeling & Lake Erie was
so dull that not a single transaction
in it was recorded until after 2
o'clock and then but 400 shares
changed hands, the opening price
being off 77s points from the pre-
vfous close. Seasoned dividend rails
of the class OF Atchison, New York
Central and Union Pacific were in
demand at higher prices.

gains in its business since the war.

 The extent to which stock ownership and a voice in management by employees is practicabe depends upon circumstances In large-scale, stable operations it may well be considered for manual workers as well for technical men and the official personnel especially if length of em- ployment be taken into consideration in appor- tioning stock to the Hrst-named class.
