Holding Company Plan Eyes Northwest Rail Merger
New York January 18. Plans for a massive northwestern railway merger were outlined by Great Western president Ralph Budd and Northern Pacific president Charles Donnelly. They propose a new holding company to own stock and operate a single system, with Spokane Portland and Seattle Railway directly run by the new carrier. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy, already 97 percent controlled by the two roads, would stay as is. Further consolidation steps, discussed for over a year, may be released after a conference.

St Paul Minn Jan 18 A plan for unionization of all ore and smelting fields in the United States and Canada is being pushed by labor leaders at a special convention of the International Union of Ming Mill and Smelter Workers. Paul J Smith representing William Green heads the meeting opened yesterday to run a week or 10 days.
