the brothers.
 Commission acquiescencc in the eastern executives proposal would terminate long fight of the car rlers over numerous short lines as well as put an end to the bitter op- position on the part of the railroads toward the commissions five-trunk- line plan.
 Each of the four principal east ern roads is opposed to the fifth sys- tenn because it would run through some of the richest and most thick ly-settled sections of the east and would cut heavily into their rev enues, particularly those of the Pennsylvania.
 Expected to Fight it Out
 Faced with prospect of congress sional legislation to force consolida- tions. the railroads generally are ex- pected to fight the merger problem out among themselves. The agree ment between the eastern executives was believed hastened somewhat by fear that congress might upset their plans. With approval by the com- mission of the four system layout, the chances were believed slight that congress would ovcrrule it.
 Their agreement is understood 10 provide among other things that the New York Central be given the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern, long desired by the Central; the Baltimore and Ohio would gain control of the Reading and Central of New Jersey, providing it with a much to be desired entrance into New York city; the Pennsylvania would gain access to Buffalo, N. Y, over the lines Of the Nickel Plate and the Chesapeake and Ohio would be given the Pennsylvania's interest in the Lehigh Valley
 With the fifth system eliminated, it is believed the commission would provide for a great lakes to tide water line, embracing at least the and Lake Erie and West ern Maryland.

SIX AUTOS CRASH
 0N ICY PAVEMENT
Spot in NeWington Takes Heavy
 Toll in Few Moments
Especial 10 the Herald)


 NeWington, Dec. 26 - The high
 way near the Balf quarries was the scene of unusual excitement for a few moments about o'clock yester- day afternoon as six automobiles fell victims to the icy roads and were Camaged in accidents all within q
 brief period of time. Two girls re- celVed cuts from flying glass, and all SIX cars were damaged, but no ar rests were made.
 The furry started when William Chapman of 2lS Hawthorn street. Hartford. last control of his ma chine on an icy stretch of road and the car banged into pole by the roadside. Before he could even get out of the auto a second one oper- ated by Dave Schwaderer of POS East Main street, New Britain struck it from behind and drove it with renewed force against the pole Glass in both machines was shatter- ed, cutting Claire Chapman of 51S Hawthorn street, Hartford, and Miss N'i'ii- DOpllSl OI AOIllltI street, New Britain, while the pole was snapped off.
 State Policeman Shaw was called 10 the spot, but before he could get things straightened out machines driven by Frank Sulak of g Con- merton street. New Britain and Jo- scph koziiiak of 7S Audubon ave- hue, Hartford. bumped with slight damage to both. The drivers were apparently craning their necks to see the wrecked autos when their own flew out of control. And then two more vehicles, whose owners were rot identified, hooked together and slld off the road. One lost a front fender and the other the bumper.
 The highway at this point was like ! the surface Of frozen pond, so Po- liceman Shaw decided all the acci- dents were unavoidable.
