RAILWAY MERGERS
MAY Be SUSPENDED
Proposed Couzens Resolution
Change Advocates More
Regulation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Modification of the Couzens' resolu-
ton calling for suspension Of all rail-
road consultations until Congress pro-
vides additional legislation to cover
them is under consideration.
The resolution will be taken under
final consideration by the Senate inter-
state commerce committee this week.
Chairman Couzens, Republican, Michi-
gan, has said he hopes to have it re-
ported. favorably to the Senate after 1t
is amended to meet some of the objec-
tons voiced in public hearings last
week.
Joseph B. Eastman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission Friday reported
that 10 of the II members of the body
believe that to indorse suspension of all
consultations would be to express doubt
as to its own ability to determine wisely
what is the public interest.
CouZens has not committed himself
regarding this aspect of the resolution.
It is understood that he intends to
modify the proposal to exempt short
line consultations, and unifications to
which there is no opposition. 1t is said,
however, that he hopes to keep in the
measure provisions preventing unifica-
ton of long parallel lines, particularly
where there is opposition.
Chairman McManamy of the COM
mission, who Endorsed the present pro-
visions Of the proposal in their entirety,
will testify on Monday.
The entire commission is on record in
favor of legislation to prevent unauthor-
lied indications of railroads through
pooling of holding company stocks.
Couzens is expected to maintain in the
resolution provisions making these uni
fications illegal.
