But all want some kind of readjustment, and they all realize that if the matter is too long del: acquisition of ‘the ne roads will become So expensive as be almost prohibitive. Stocks Unduly High Is Belief. { There are roads today which rail-| road men on the stock | market at pric by ther import merely because they ha sibilities above contest for th over, they feel that the fluctuations in stock prices which might result would have a most unto: t on public sentiment. Coneequently, although th gap is wide between the New York al Baltimore & Ohio and| 3 . on the one side, and | the Pennsylvania and the Delaware and Hudson, on the other, its closing | is not an impossibility. W The first three declare there is’no # need of a fifth trunk line such as . Loree proposes and that the| Ivania is-‘complete in itself and | s no additions. The Pennsyl | e roads contend ! s essential to cut e on shipments from which now run | isburg, and also | ich a mel down the dis! Buffalo to New Y south as far demand other Give Inside View. | Men close to the situation assert | that the heads of the Nickel Plate, the | New York Central and the Baltimore & Ohio do not place such extreme im- portance on the blocking of the plans | for the proposed Loree system as they | do on the distribution of the control of the smaller roads which honey comb the country between New York and St. Louis. They also place ex- treme importance on getting some- thing definite done. So far the Inter- state Commerce Commission has con- fined its rulings on mergers to a sin- gle word, “No.” It has not signified what plans will meet with its approval or how the plans-already presented must be changed to come within the fold. The majority of iive systems are working from the other end, opposite to the Pennsylvania and the Loree y e trying to arrive at| a plan which will distribute the small- | er feeder lines in such a way as to be satisfactory to all. They think that| with that problem out of the way, the way may be cleared for a better un- derstanding of the main line situation. Concessions Held Probable. In the meantime nore is prepared to say that concessions will not be made on all sides, although all are putting up a front of stiff opposition. On paper at least the Van Sweringens, President Crowley of the New York Central and President Willard of the | Baltimore & Ohio would seem to have the majority vote as compared with President Atterbury’ of the Pennsyl- vania and President Loree of the Dela- ware & Hudson in gny conference ’ho\' might arrange, There is always a possibility that the conference idea may be abandoned by one side or the other. ave by orderin your SUNREAM Heats5to7 rooms Replaces 2 or 3 stoves Requiresno basement Saves Time, Work, M THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
