MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1927 MERGER WOULD |" MEAN ECONOMY, WITNESSES SAY Consolidation. of Traffic and Advertising Branches Would | Save $817,437 Re Minneapolis, Oct. 31.—(4)—Con- solidation of the traffic and adver- tisi departments of the Great, Northern and Northern Pacific rail- ‘ways would permit the merged sys- tem to save $817,437 a year in the cost of producing freight and pas- senger business, James G. Wood- worth, traffice vice president of the Northern Pacific tailway, testified at todiy’s session of the unifica- tion hearing before the‘ interstate commerce commission. Of this contribu’ion toward the total annual sav g of $19,000,000 which-the northern roads claim they can make through merging their operations, $380,558 would be saved through reduction of staffs of traf- fic solicitors a‘ about 25 points at which bgth lines now maintain traf- fic bureaus. These bureau would be consolidated, if the federal’ govern- ment approves the unification plan. Other Savings Cited Other items of economy going to make up the saving of $817,437, as outlined by Mr. Woodworth, would be: Merging of advertising te aot ments and reduction of the combined advertising bill by $452,080 from the present $1,502,080 to $1,050,000; cutting the stationery and printing bill for the traffic department by $34,933, from $259,933 a year to $225,000. In Minneapolis the traffic promo- tion staffs of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, now numbering 37 employes, would be cut-down to 31, with a monthly payroll and of- fice expense reduction of $933. In St. Paul, traffic staffs would be re- duced from 29 to 27. The proposed cut in payrolls in traffic solicita- tion bills would apply even more ex- tensively to “off line” agencies than to offices on the line. In Duluth the staff wou' be cut from 23 to 17 and the monthly bill would be re- duced $1,745. In Chicag the force of traffic solicitors would scaled down from 46 to 42, at a savings of $2,204 a month; in New York f. m 46 to 28, with reduction in expenses o! $4,229; in Detroit from 1£ to 13 Pittsburgh from 12 to eight; and at St. Louis, from 15 t 11. Burlington's Status Discussed Discussion of the Burlington road, owned jointly by the No thern Pa- cific and Great Northern, played an important part today for the first time in the hearing, during consid- eration of the economies that the merger would enable the northern lines to effect in traffic department overhead. Opponents of the uni- fication, in cross examination of Mr. ‘Woodworth, sought to emphasize the point\that the Burlington traffic of- fices, now operated independently, should be included in the consolida- tion if the financial savings are as important as advocates of the mer- ger contend, TWO KILLED IN - AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR MELROSE Drivers of Two Cars Struck Down by Third Car While ' Account of Governor Stevens’ Tour in Dakota Territory Given by Historian—Mouse River Country Laid Claim to by Two Nations Grand Forks, N.

S. Prisons Increases at an Alarming Rate Washington, Oct. 31.—(?) — An- nouncing a federal prison iponalation of 18,788 at the end of the last fiscal year as compared with 8,927 in 1918, the department of justice said today that more prisoners are now confined in these institu- tions than at any time in the his- of the nation. The depart- ment’s statistics showed an increase of 111 per .ent im the last nine years against an increase of 20 per cent in the country’s population. The most striking increase was found in narcotic law violations which jumped from 299 in 1918 to 2,116 in 1927, representing the largest number of federal prisoners ever incarcerated for violating any one federal law. Next in order were violations of the Volstead act, with 2,040 prison- ers, but since this law was not in operatio:. in 1918, it to obtain compa r io- lations of anot! recent law, the motor vehicle theft act, stocd third on the list with 789 prisonérs.

After the company obtained an in- ‘rnetion Saturday prohibiting him from having the operation per- formed on the grounds it would im- peril a million dollar production, the actor underwent a compromise operation yesterday. This, he said, would make respiration a matter of| less exertion and would not change his, facial expression. Wolheim said he would undergo the operation originally planned when his contract expires so that he could play “romantic” parts.
