RAIL MITIGATION FINALLY IMMINENT

 Fully Century Old

New York. Jan l7 tPs-Thc In- tcrstatc commerce. commission $ plan to button the 250.oUO miles Of railroads in the United States into 2l unified systems marks the end Of a century Of railroad building in North America.
 One hundred years ago, in 1890, there were 22 miles of railways in the United States. For every mile of the old wooden trackage laid down in that year more than 10000 miles of steel raiis exist today
 The commission plan has been referred to generally Hs q final pro- gram. Section ! Of the EsCh-Cum- mlns transportation act of 1920, however provides that the cOmmiS- sion may q. any time thereafter upon ifs own motion or application. reopen the subject for such changes or modification as in their judgment will promote tho public interest,"
 This has convinced many railroad executives that the present plan is merely q basis for discussion.
 Consolidation is not a new idea.
New Britain herald., 1930-01-17

Most Of the great systems, in opera ton today, particularly those in tho cast, were formed by the gradual linking together of hundreds of rail- roads which began life bravely as small Independent enterprises.
 But consolidation in it's present meaning is q problem that is only about 10 years old. It is largely an economic consequence of the world war. After the American troops and industries had been demobi- lizod the government was obliged to seek some means Of restoring the nations railroads to normal peace time operation.
 The great banks in New York and elsewhere have set their legal, tech nical and statistical departments to work examining the new plan. They are intensely interested in any gov "lHmcnt program touching an in duStry with capitalization of S25.-
