ASKED BY WABASH
Control of Four Roads Sought
to Connect With Western
Terminal.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Formation Of a new railway trunk
line in the East is planned by the Wa
bash Railroad.
An application for the establishment
Of the new system was brought to wash
ington today by representatives Of the
-7abash for the consideration of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
It asks authority to acquire control by
lease Of stock purchase Of nine railroads
and point control OF five others. Track
age rights over several systems also are
sought.
II approved by the commission, the
plan would result in the establishment
Of nth Eastern trunk lire, with west
ern termirii at Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
Sas City, Omaha and DeS Moines and
Eastern termini ut New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore.
Two PIan Merger.
The four trunk lines now in operation
are the Pennsylvania, New York Cen
tral, Baltimore d Ohio and the Chesa-
peake d Ohio. The latter two have nled
merger plans Of their own with the
commission which have been opposed BY
the Wabash.
Lines which the Wabash seeks to con-
troll are the Lehigh Valley, Wheeling g.
Lake Erie, Pittsburgh d West Virginia,
western Maryland, Lehlgh g. New Eng
land, Akron, Canton & YOUNGSTOWN, the
Elgin, Joliet g. Eastern, the Toledo,
Peoria d Western and the Chicago &
Illinois Midland.
A one-sixth interest is sought in the
Montour Railroad Co., the Mononga-
hela Connecting Railroad Co., Union
Railroad Co. Of Pittsburgh and the
Newburgh d South Shore Railway Co.,
together with one-seventh interest In
the Toledo Terminal Railroad Co.
THE Wabash is the only carrier
whose rails extend from Kansas City
OF the Eastern territory" the applica-
ton said.
Wonla Avoid functions.
"There is need OF direct passenger
service between the Atlantic Seaboard
and the territory west of the Missis-
sid River, avoiding unnecessary incon-
venience to the travelling public in be-
ing required to change trains at juno
ton points.
The acquisition by the Wabash OF

rect route from the Western territory
to New York, over which route through
passenger and freight service would be
operated without transfer at any
junction. The public is entitled to this
service and will receive It II the Wa
bash Is placed in q position to rem
der it."
A sixth trunk line was suggested.
1T Is practicable" the application
said, ito create q sixth system within
the Eastern group. consisting primarily
OF the Delaware, Lackawanna q West
ern, the New York, Chicago 81 ST
Louis and certain other carriers, in
cluding the Detroit, Toledo g. Ironton
and the Virginian.
while In the opinion Of the Wabash
Co. the initiative in the establishment
Of such q system properly belongs to
the carriers embraced therein, It is SUBJ
mitted that the public interest would
be served by the additional compensa.
tion which such system would AFFORD. "

The columns of recent issue of the Producers News
contained an outline of procedure under capton'
"Crime of 1929" proposed remedy for present un-
lust inequitable mines-tax provisions.
Subject to revision by unbiased persons who may
have ideas of improvement, this newspaper Offered
definite nlan of action for correction of the present
mines-tax abuse.
In this connection the Producers News called for the
support of all Independent newspapers and these were
asked to give expression to their views.
The article, "Crime of 1929" reproduced by the
Montana Free Press, without comment and under cap
ton:
"The Montana Fress Press does not neces-
sarily indorse statements printed in this col

The WASHINGTON SCENE
By LAWRENCE TODD. Federated Press


Engineers have assured Manager
Nockels and Mr.. Thompson that one
clear broadcasting channel and two
short waves will be enough to estab-
fish a system which will reach all
over the world. However, they are
planning just now on recalling 100
small stations in this country.
Most of the program would, of ne
cessity, be simply entertainment feat
ures. But at intervals the labor broad
casters would send out news of strikes
wage negotiations, cost of living, I'M
employment figures, proposed legis-
lation for old age pensions, etc., to
build the labor movement and carry
on its propaganda for higher stand
ard of life for everyone.
LABOR CAN'T BE DENIED
That organized labor is capable of
supporting big station and operating
it without lowering the general level
of musical and dramatic features,
Thompson and Nockels were ready to
, prove. The financial support given
the station by trade unionists in the
Chicago region surprised the commits
: sioners when that phase of the testi-
: mony was reached. But that Orga-
! nized labor should be given the chance
: to send strike appeals into the homes
: of millions of people, and tell o.
e crimes committed by company gun
men, constabulary and such mobs a.
that which kidnapped Hoffman ant
