sented to !. c. c.

BY the Associated Press.
New proposals looking to the COM
pletion of the projected merger of the
Chesapeake g. Ohio Railroad with the
Pere Marquette system we're made yes
terday to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The c. & o. Co, which now holds the
commissions permission to acquire con-
troll of the Pere Marquette, asked au-
thority to buy 174,90O shares of the
latter's common stock now owned by the
Nickel Plate Railroad at a price of
$133.33 per share.
The Chesapeake & Ohio also asked
the commission to modify its original
finding in the merger case and to per-
NIT the company to sell 100000 shares
of its own new stock to its present
stockholders at 500 per snare The
funds derived from the new issue will
enable the Chesapeake to complete its
Pere Marquette purchase.
Success for Van Sweringens.
The commission previously ruled that
the Chesapeake & Ohio should issue
but 100000 shares of new stock and re-
quire its present stockholders to pay
$3.50 per share for it.
The Chesapeake & Ohio-Pere Mar
quette merger represents a final and
partial success in the endeavor OF o.
P. and M. j. Van Sweringen of CIeve-
land and their associates to bring about
merger Of Eastern trunk lines. After
fnr1 14T1 til -.
! proposal. which involved the fusion OF
the Nickel Plate. Chesapeake 81 Ohio.
Erie and Pere Marquette Railroads the
| Van SweringenS put forward scheme
| for combining the Chesapeake & Ohio
! with the Erie and Pere Marquette.
The commission eliminated the Erie
| from the proposed consolidation but
/ approved the combination of the CheSa-
peake & Ohio with the Pere Marquette.
New Hearing Expected.
In dealing with details of the pro-
| posal the Chesapeake & Ohio was au-
thorized to pay s110 per share for Pere
Marquette stock owned by the Van
| Sweringens. and was given permission
to negotiate price for the additional
Pere Marquette stock owned by the
| Nickel Plate Railroad
The petitions yesterday said that the
| Nickel Plate was willing to take s133.3 SO
for its Pere Marquette holdings. and
declared this to be fair value. AS to
the new Chesapeake g. Ohio stock issue
contemplated the petition protested
against requiring the company's stock
holders to pay more than par for new
stock, questioned the commissions legal
power to fix higher figure and argued
that lower figure was in the public
| interest and matter of justice to rail-
road stockholders. 1t is expected that
the commission viii give opportunity
sor hearing and argument on the new
| proposal
