ecuted an about-face and themselves
have set up motor lines for both pas
Sengers and freight, using them as
feeders for rail trafic and in some
cases bringing about economies by sub
stituting vehicles on the public high
ways for Improbable local trains when
permission to discontinue the latter
could be obtained. Subjected to regu-
lation in their every act, the railroads
naturally desire regulation of motor
transportation as a competitor, not
withstanding its partial position as a
partner. And the organized motor lines
also, would welcome regulations as q
protection against unreliable elements
engaged in the business.
A preliminary check of the situation
following publication of the tentative
plan of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission does not indicate that railroad
consolidation has been brought ap-
preciably closer. For three years, hear
ings on proposed legislation intended
to facilitate voluntary consolidation of
the rail carriers have been held by
the House committee. Another hear
ing in the Spring will have before 1t
the report of the commission, and the
proposals may turn from voluntary to
compulsory mergers. Inasmuch, how
ever, as the commissions plan is
by that agency itself, and does not
claim to represent perfection, but only
a general tentative agreement within
limitations imposed upon the commits
sion by Congress, the final form of leg
islation is as uncertain as heretofore.
The commissions report on CONSOLE
dation will have much weight, it APP
pears, in focusing attention on that
subject, however much or little it may
influence the final outcome.
Rail carriers enter 1890 in better
physical and financial condition as a
whole than in many years, and should
be prepared we'll for the legislative dis
cussionS affecting them that are ahead.
Loadings Of revenue freight in the first
so weeks of 1929 totaled 81 ,308, 900
cars, an increase of 1887 900 over the
corresponding period OF 1928 and an
increase OF 1888 900 over 1927. In the
first 10 months OF 1929. class one rail-
roads had a net operating income of
$1.ll3,000, 900, a sum of 1927 900 900
greater than in the same period of
1929.
