; 4 BASTMAN STUDYING RAIL CONSOLIDATION Big Savings Claimed by Propon- ents of Grouping Into Seven Big Systems Washington, Oct. 31.—(4)—Big sav- ings through consolidated operation of terminals in large railroad centers are a basic claim of proponents of the Prince plan for coordination of the nation’s carriers. The plan, estimated to save upwards of three-quarters of a billion dollars, annually on the basis of 1932 traffic, | is one of those being studied by Joseph | B, Eastman, federal coordinator of | transportation, who intends to make recommendations to President Roose- velt for legislation. The proposal was | first laid before the resident Inst winter by Frederick H. Prince, Boston | financier. i Bricfly, Prince proposes that rail-! roads be grouped into seven systems, Duplicated facilities would be aban- doned. Through savings in costs of opera- tion it was estimated, in a series of studies which just became public in Interstate Commerce commission and Reconstruction corporation quarters here, that the railroads in 1932, by working under the Prince plan, would have made $496.244,000 instead of hav- ing a deficit of $247,245,000. ——_—_.. ——__« | Strange But True | News Items of Day | (By The Associated Press) | OLD WRECK REVIVED \ Allerton, Ill—John Hayes found the remains of a 1913 autontobile, abandoned for years in the family barn.

The action can be con- trolled. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid larative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement, and with no | discomfort at the time, or afterward. | The wrong cathartic may keep | you constipated as long as you keep’ on using it! An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is syrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and is perfectly saje.

As this new development brought further cause for concern, the gov- ernment gave a sigh of relief at the apparent collapse of another move- ment to call a general strike. to materialize during the night.
