Railroad Trust Plans Sweep Across Western Lines
A Chicago despatch reports talks among chairman Midgeley and railroad magnates to form a vast clearing house uniting lines west of Chicago to Arkansas. The plan, to abolish existing associations, sets an executive board and rates system, with Midgeley as potential head and penalties for rule violations. The proposal faces legal questions and would centralize traffic and earnings control.
