JOINT RAIL MERGER
PLAN IS EXPECTED
Four Eastern Systems May Submit
Application to I. c. c.
This Month.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 13-As the next
step toward elimination of the plans
announced in December for Eastern
trunk line mergers, the four systems
are understood in railroad circles to be
planning to submit joint application
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion some time this month.
The legal stats of the four trunk line
systems-New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania. Baltimore & Ohio and the Van
Sweringen group-have nearly COM
pleted their work on the application to
change the consolidation plans to con-
form with the agreement reached in
December, it was reported today.
The roads hope to settle through ar
bitration the question of trackage rights
to the Pennsylvania over the Nickel
Plate between Ashtabula and Brockton
before the application is filed with the
commission. The point was left I'M
settled at the December conferences due
to the opposition of the New York Cen
trail. It's opposition is based on the
contention that granting such track
age rights to the Pennsylvania would
greatly increase its competitive position
along the south shore of Lake Erie,
where the Central is well intrenched.
Another bone of contention is the al
location of the Virginian Railway with
the question arising whether 1t will be
assigned to the Van Sweringens or the
Pennsylvania.
The trunk lines are understood to
have been proceeding quietly in adding
to their stockholdings In roads they
plan to merge.

MILD WEATHER REDUCES
VOLUME OF COAL SALES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 13-Mild wealth
er, coupled with consumer indifference,
played havoc with the demand for do
nestle coal In the bituminous markets
Of the country in February, Coal Age
reports. Prices in most sections
slumped and in O few markets, under
coming months, approached democrat
ization.
Demand for industrial coal, reflect
ing the continued business depression,
was slow last month, though slight
increase in activity was reported in
certain sections Curtailments in pro-
ducticn caused by the declining do
nestle market resulted in a shortage
of slack and screenings. Quotations
on these sizes closed markedly higher
at the end of the month.
February production of bituminous
coal is estimated at 81 ,4l7,000 net tons,
a decrease of 7,125,000 tons and $780,
900 tons, respectively, from the totals
for the preceding month and February,
1880. Anthracite production Is esti-
mated at 1891 900 net tons for Febru-
airy. This compares with 6,157.000 tons
in January and 6,o48,000 tons In Febru-
airy q year ago.
The Coal Age index of spot bitumi-
nous prices preliminary for February
settled at 1861 against the revised fig
ure of lac 2-5 for January. Core
spending weighted average prices were
February. $l.7714; January, SLIT is.
In spite of unreasonable weather,
anthracite enjoyed a fair demand in
February. Egg. stove and chestnut
were in free supply throughout the
month. Pea, rejecting a strong de-
mand, was scarce and tight. Several
producers, it was reported, crushed
down the larger sizes to keep pace with
the pea market. Of the steam sizes
buckwheat was scarce and tight, while
rice moved freely in response to an ex-
cellent call

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 13-Public util-
ity interests here did not pass lightly
over the statement which Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska made at the National
Conference of ProgressiveS in Washing
ton Wednesday. They realized that it
contained much that was meant for
public consumption and political effect,
but at the same time they were free to
admit that the movement against the
power and light corporations was one
that could not be ignored.
The representative of one large pub
lie utility holding company frankly
stated to the writer that unless the
power and light interests became more
awake to the activities of the opposi-
ton they were in for stiff fight to
maintain their position in the next few
years.
Growth o. Companies.
The growth in a comparatively short
time of the great public utility holding
companies, such as Electric Bond 81
Share, United Corporation, Common
wealth g. Southern, Niagara Hudson,
Middle West Utilities, North American,
Standard Gas g. Electric, Pacific Gas q
Electric, Engineers Public Service and
New England Power. has injected new
element into the situation and one that
the opponents of the public utilities
have capitalized in their arguments
against present public utility policies
1t is recognized that there has b,en
considerable pyramiding in the process
of building up these huge holding COM
panies and that the creation of common
stocks has, in a number of instances,
been out of proportion to the actual
assets of the properties brought under
control In the craze for consultations
in 1928 and 1929 the holding corpora
tons paid prices for the shares of other
holding corporations and operating
companies that were as much beyond
their values, based on normal earnings,
as were the prices then given by chain
banking groups for the stocks of indie
pendent institutions which they sought
to bring under their control
Dehation in Stocks.
The reaction from this policy came
last year in a tremendous defiation in
the prices of public utility holding COM
pany stocks. 1t nearly equal;ed that
which took place in the stocks of in
vestment trusts and in some of the
weaker automobile companies. If there
was too much water in the stocks of
the public utility holding companies in
1929 1t is equally true that most of this
water was squeezed out in the market

UTILITIES INTERESTS WATCH
PROGRESSIVE MEETING HERE
Industry Realizes Opposition to Power
and Light Corporations Has Recently
Been Gaining Ground.

! decline which eliminated last Deem
Der. That this defiation was due almost
entirely to the extravagant views pre-
viously held as to the market values OF
power and light company shares was
evident, for public utility earnings, I'M
| like those of the industrials and rail-
roads, showed slight change last year.
In fact, the net income of II companies
was only off l per cent whereas the loss
Of the inoustrialS was over IS per cent
and of the rails more than 40 per cent.
In the last quarter of 1880, however, the
public utility earnings began to show
the effect of the depression. Returns
for the present quarter will be even
poorer than those for the three months
ending December 81.
Recently there has been evidence Of a
revival of the 1929 activities among the
public utility holding companies. Con-
solicitations are being talked Of every day
and are the basis for the movement in
public utility shares which stands out
ccnspicuously in the hesitaing market
for other groups Of stocks.
Further Move Rumored.
The recent purchase by the United
Corporation of over 100000 additional
shares of the common stock of the Mac
CARA Hudson Power Corporation brings
physical tie-up between the power and
light companies in Greater New York
and those generating power in Northern
and western New York State. The story
most generally hsard in Wall Street
today is that the United Corporation is
about to assume control Of the Console
dated Gas and Brooklyn Edison proper
ties under an agreement by which
United Corporation shares will be ex-
changed on a favorable basis for those
of the operating companies.
Another interesting bit Of gossip in
connection with the United Corporation
activities is that in the forthcoming
Consolidated Gas financing the firm of
j. P. Morgan g. Co. will appear for the
first time with the National City Co. in
this particular business, 1t being under
stood that by reason of the large invest
ment CT the United Corporation in
Consolidated Gas the Morgan Arm OBJ
tains a position as principal in all new
Consolidated Gas offerings.

Libby High School graduated its first

coming of the towns first automobile.
II could not have received much more
publicity had it concerned the discov-
cry of a new planet or some event of
national Importance. In October, 1912,
when the first auto made the trip be-
tween Kalispell and Libby, it was the
occasion for another big front page
story. In November, 1912, the big steel
bridge across the Kootenai river, the
completion Of which had been dream
