Big merger eyed as New York Central and Pennsy gain approval
In New York a three year study by ICC examiners backs the proposed Penn Central merger forming a 19 631 mile system spanning 14 states and Canada. The deal could include New Haven freight operations and may bring a final decision next year. Unemployment fell to 4.7 percent in March with record employment. Negotiations between United Steel Workers and major producers focus on wage and benefit increases. Steel output rose to a weekly record as automakers sped production of about 216000 cars.
