RAIL MERGER MAY
LONG HEARING
|. C. C., However, Expected
Soon to Decide Question
of Rate Increase.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The speed of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in handling the
rate increase proposal Of the railroads
is not likely to be duplicated in dispos-
ing of the Eastern carriers plan to con-
solidate into four huge systems.
Long drawn-out hearings lasting
months are expected in commission cir
Giles to precede the proposal that the
commission virtually scrap its own con-
solicitation pan.
On the other hand, decision is ex-
pected soon Of the petition for 15'
per cent freight-rate increase. After
slightly over two months of hearings,
the commission took the rate case un-
der consideration last week. 1t was dis
cussed by the commission Thursday
and Friday and again had privileged
status this week.
The opinion prevails here that the
decision may come down any time after
october Is.
Proposal Last Year.
At the direction of Congress the COM
mission last year proposed consolidat-
ing the railroads of the country into 81
great systems. Five Eastern trade
routes were provided.
The New York Central, the Balti-
more & Ohio, the Pennsylvania and
the Van Sweringen lines looked with
disfavor on the five-System plan. Sat
urday they presented four-party plan.
The present proceeding may be dis
posed of comparatively promptly. 1t
calls merely for commission approval
of four systems instead of five.
Should the commission approve, the
lines would be free to complete their
plans. And they are far from finished.
Lines to Be Purchased.
Important lines must be purchased
by the Baltimore 81 Ohio, the Van
Sweringen lines and the Pennsylvania.
The commission would have to abro-
gate anti trust orders directing the
Van Sweringens to sell the Wheeling
& Lake Erie: the Baltimore g. Ohio
to sell the Western Maryland and the
Pennsylvania Co., an investment trust
subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, to sell the Wabash and other
lines it controls. 1t would have to
change, in some respects at least, its
attitude toward ailroad-controlled in
vestment trusts, such as the Pennsyl-
vania Co. and the Pennroad Corpora
ton, both controlled by officials Of the
Pennsylvania.

Ways best to soften Winters blows

Next. the Millers' National Fedora
tion volunteered to grind such wheat
at cost.
From the United States Chamber of

distress will be forthcoming" This

precedented powers of wealth produc-
ton into channels that will insure our
social and economic well-being."
Trust Law Changes Suggested.
Prevention of manipulative control of
security exchanges was proposed to-
Gether with stringent regulations against
the use of temporary prices as the
basis of bank loans.
Amendment of the antitrust laws
was suggested to legaliZe contracts I'M
der Federal supervision to equalize pro-
duction with consumption. Compulsory
Government employment insurance was
rejected as tending toward the dole,
while private systems of benefits based
on previously established reserves were
Endorsed.
The chamber committee urged every
possible step toward international dis
armament, amity and good will.
Employment rotation to alleviate i'm
mediate distress was advocated The
committee did not, however, take sides
on the wage level controversy.
