WALL STREET
INTERESTED IN
MERGER PLANS
NEW YORK, May 28 (/P)-Two
strategic railroad consolidation moves,
one in the rapidly growing southwest
and the other in the highly competi
tive eastern trunk line territory have
focused the watchful eyes of Wall
Street upon Leonard F. Loree, head
of two of the most compact railroad
systems in the United States, the
Kansas City Southern and the Dela
ware & Hudson.
At a time when ambitious plans for
regrouping the railroads into a small
number of large systems are taking
shape in the different sections of the
country, Mr. Loree has taken inde
pendent action, laying the basis for
prospective consolidations built up j
around his own railroads.
A former associate of E. H. Harri
man, Mr. Loree is credited with exe
cuting a play, reminiscent of the
days of this great railroad builder, in
the east where he has sponsored a
plan for a fifth trunk line in opposi
tion to the “four-power” grouping pro
posed by the New York Central, the
! Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio and
Nickel Plate systems. Furthermore
the president of the Delaware & Hud-:
son recently obtained a lease on the j
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh
Railway, a small but prosperous soft
coal carrier, highly important to any
plan of regrouping the eastern rail
roads. The road originally had been
allotted to the New York Central un
der the “big four” proposals outlined
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion.
Mr. Loree’s quiet and unexpected
acquisition of the line. Wall Street
agreed, had circumvented the “big
four” consolidation scheme. The
Wabash Railway, controlled largely
by the same banking interests, it was
believed, would be available to the
Delaware & Hudson as a route to
Chicago and could be tied up easily
with the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh at Buffalo.
Only the acquisition of some such
road as the Lackawanna or Lehigh
Valley, to provide the double function
of connecting the Delaware & Hudson
with its new leased line and serving
as an entry to the port of New York,
would be needed to round out a com
prehensive system, which would es
tablish a network of lines, linking
Montreal, Buffalo, New York. Pitts
burgh, Detroit and Chicago.
The Lehigh Valley, Wall Street, be
lieves, is already virtually controlled
by the New York Central and event
ually will be included in that sys
tem. There is a possibility, however,
that the Lackawanna, on which the
Van Swerigens and the Pennsylvania
Railroad officials have been casting
covetous eyes, may go to the highest
bidder, and if any contest for control
develops. Mr. Loree is certain to be
in the fight.
Whether or not the Delaware and
Hudson executive is successful in car
rying out his conception for a fifth
trunk line, he will command a favor
able bargaining position. If the Del
aware & Hudson fails to become the
nucleus of a greater railroad, it will
at least be fitted into a “big four”
grouping only on its own terms.
In the southwest, the Kansas City
Southern has obtained a strong foot
hold and perhaps working control of
the Missouri-Kansas--Texas Railroad,
a much larger system. No direct ne
gotiations for a merger have yet been
broached, but when the time comes
for linking up the small southwestern
lines, Mr. Loree and his associates,
with two railroads under their con
trol, probably will be able to dictate
the terms and lay-out of the merger,
which is expected to embrace the St.
Louis-San Francisco, Chicago & Al
ton and several smaller carriers.
Notwithstanding the conpectural
elements surrrounding the ultimate de
velopment of the two systems, Wall
Street’s imagination has not been
slow to grasp the possibilities of sym
pathetic traffic relations which might
be effected between a Loree railroad
in the southwest and a fifth eastern
trunk line, which, through the Wa
bash, would extend to St. Louis.
Associates of Mr. Loree recall that
it was only a short time ago that he
was violently opposing what he term
ed “grandiose consolidatihns.” In his
merger plans they insist that he will
remain consistent to this principle,
and attempt to build new systems as
compactly as possible.
BOONE FAMILY
TO CELEBRATE
LEXINGTON, Ky., May 27 (JP)—
Beginnings of Kentucky’s history 150
years ago, with the glamor cast upon
it by memories of Daniel Boone, the
pioneer American, whose bones lie on
the hill overlooking the Kentucky riv -
er, will be celebrated the first week
of June.
Natives are using stamps, caption
ed “The Battle of Lexington,” to put
an extra lick to notice of the Lexing
ton sesqui-centennial celebration. The
stamps were issued by the govern
ment in commemoration of the battle
in Massachusetts, the “shot heard
‘round the world."
Echoed by a great celebration in the I
Blue Grass of Kentucky, during the
entire week of June 1, the battle for
fi eedom will be revived in a pilgrim
age to Boone’s last resting place, a
trip to Boonesboro, his fort, a cere
mony at Transylvania University,
where Lafayette visited in May, 1825,
and services in memory of Boone in
pageant, addresses and dedication of
tablets.
Boone, who blazed the way from
the Atlantic coast through the wil
derness to Kentucky, will be the cen
tral figure commemorated.
Gov. W. J. Fields invited five thou
sand members of the Boone Family
Association, scattered over the nation,
to hold its first family reunion here,
and William Boone Douglass, Wash
ington, D. C., acting president, accept
ed Kentucky’s cordiality.
Ceremonies will open with registra
tion of Boones, a visit to the pioneer’s
ggrave and other spots, continue with
