PENNROAD DEAL
To HEAD UP
ISSUE

The purported purchase by the
Pennroad Corporation. q holding
company for the Pennsylvania
railroad, of control Of the Pitts
burg and West Virginia railroad
from Frank E. and Charles E.
Taplin, Cleveland financiers, has
complicated the eastern railroad
consolidation plans Of many rail-
road magnates and has presented
new problem to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, 1t was
indicator today.
While members Of the Com
mission declined to comment, 1t
is known that the creation OF
these large and financially power
flil holding companies which are
beyond the reach of the Inter
state Commerce Commission Law
and probably are beyond the
orders OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission, has created a sit
uation that is fraught with many
possibilities.
Put Up to Mitchell
For some time the commission
has had under consideration the
question whether these holding
companies can be reached through
the Clayton antitrust law as pos
sibly operating in restraint OF
trade or commerce and tending
to create monopoly Manifestly
these holding companies simply
act as holding agencies and do
not actually operate any rail-
roads.
It is known that Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell has been giving
some study to this phase of the
railroad situation and it is be-
lieyed he will advise the commits
sion what steps to take in curb
ing these activities.
1t was pointed out today that
regulation by the Interstate Com
! merce Commission may begin
when a holding company seeks
to transfer its railroad stock to
a trunk line, but members of the
commission doubt if it may begin
at any other stage.
Apparently the commission
must seek control of the holding
companies or a compromise must
be reached whereby they will lay
their cards upon the table and
accept commission jurisdiction in
return for commission approval
Of the merger plans they are sup
porting.
