COMMISSION AWAITS ACTION OF R.R. MERGER | Nickel Plate Merger May: Lead to Further Con- | solidations (By The Associated Press) Washington, April 15.—Railroad | consolidation in the eastern section of the United States, permissible un-! der the ‘Transportation Act, wil await the outcome of hearings to be | started tomorrow by the Interstate Commerce Commission on the Nickel Plate merger. This proposal runs counter to the tentative plan of the Commission for consolidation of the 160 odd class | one railroads into 19 or 20 great sys- tems in that it proposes to group in one system three roads which had been selected to head as many sep- e divisions, the Erie, Chesa- peake & Ohio and Pere Marquette. The difference between the two programs outlined by the Commis- sion and O. P. and M. J. Van Swerin- gen and their associates in the Nickel Plate is the more marked in that ac- tual ownership of railr stocks d leasing agreements yeon. op- ing organizations have all been j assembled by the Nickel Plate con- trolling group, while the tentative commission plan has no force in law, | there being no compulsory provis- | io n the Transportation Act on the subj With the emergence larged Nickel Plate competitor with the Ohio, New York Central, and Penn- sy! nia roads a d ion of inte est among those railroads also indicated. The Pennsylvania _ ha submitted its own scheme of ‘tak-| ing in additional lines which it sug-| gested the commission might approve if the Nickel Plate plan is to become effect This scheme differs in material respects from proposals which the three railroads filed orig- inally. The commission has, acted upon none of those preferring to await the actual showing which will} of the en- an actual, timore & | be made during the Nickel Plate hearings. Through the west, a series of changes in railroad ownerships, most of them following the Commissions | tentative consolidation program al- ready have been made effective. The Southern Pacific bought in the El Paso & Southwestern and San An- tonio & Arkansas Pass lines and the Rock Island obtained control of the St. Louis Southwestern. It was the theory of Congress in Act implify enacting the Transportation that consolidations would rate regulation and equalize earnings. The commission ws orized to relieve any railroad from the necessity of obeying the anti- trust laws, which heretofore has op- erated to block many merger schemes The first actual step toward con- solidation was taken when the South- ern Pacifie which had been ordered to sell its control of the Central Pa- em-by a Supreme Court der cision, allowed to retain the Cem; tral Pacifie in its entirety. he commission held that its tentative plan for general railroad consolida tion contemplated the merger of these two system NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEET ANDCANESUGAR No continued Chemical _ Difference, Sugar Beet Industry Promising Grand Forks, N.. D. April 15.—Con- trary to popular belief, no chemical difference exists between refined sugar made from the sugar cane and that manufactured from the sugar beet, declared Misg Agnes Moe, te university student, in radioc ng JM last week. Miss Moe presented her essay on sugar beets which won first place in the Grand Forks Commercial Club industrial essay contest. To produce beets. high in sugar content, a favorable climate, good soil preparation, proper seed selection, and careful cultivation are required, she pointed out. “After the soil has been plowed well to a maximum depth, the seed is planted by @ beet drill which four: rows ut a time, 22 to 24 inches apart.

This year the money value, as shown by debits, ii creased 17 per cent. However, grain receipts of all kinds, which nor- mally show an increase, declined, ex- cept in the case of wheat, but even in the case of wheat the increase was less than normal. There was a more than normal decrease in ship- ments of flour, linseed products and forest products.
