to do to lengthen the dress is just rip
out the tuck. Some materials are apt
to shrink quite a bit and have to be

FARM BLOC
IS AGAINST
PROPOSAL.
They Do Not Believe
Organization Would
Cut Freight Rate;
G.. o. P. Pushes Plan
By PAUL X. MALLON

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. % U,P)-
A fight in congress was foreseen
today over the massive railroad
consolidation plan of the Inter
state Commerce commission.
While the farm bloc members are
priming with material to oppose
the project because they do not
believe it will reduce freight rates
to the farmer, Republican leaders
are planning a way to put teeth
into the commission proposal.
The issue probably will be taken
up in the house and senate inter
state commerce committees immed-
lately after the holidays. The COM
missioners who signed the majority
and those who attested the dis
esnting reports probably will be
called as witnesses.
The farm bloc is not yet decided
as to how it can oppose the plan,
or if opposition will be necessary.
Under the law the proposal is large
ly up to the railroads involved
Most railroads have been inclined
to favor a voluntary consolidation.
The Republican leaders are
fundamentally in favor of the
commission proposal to link the
rail systems of the nation into 10
extensive units, five in the east,
two in New England three in the
South and nine in the West
They believe the consultations
will enable the gradual reduction
of railroad rates.
