RAILWAY HEADS DEBATE LOREE MERGER PLAN Pennsy, New York Central Said to Oppose Fifth Trunk Line Scheme. H'l United Press NEW YORK, April s.—Representatives of six eastern railroads resumed their conference at 10:15 a. m. today on the proposal of L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson, to create a fifth eastern trunk line. Those besides Atterbury and Loree, who attended were: P. E. Crowley, president of the New York Central; Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio; J. J. Bernet, president of the Erie; O. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen, representing the Nickle Plate; A. J. County, financial vice-president of the Pennsylvania, and George V. Shriver, senior vice-president of the Baltimore & Ohio. Atterbury’s office said there probably would be no statement issued on the outcome of the conference. Loree's plan, on which he has been working for several years, was said to be opposed by Pennsylvania and New York Central officials. If the proposed fifth trunk line is rejected, the Eastern short lines probably will be distributed among the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio and the Nickle Plate, forming the nucleus of four great trunk systems. That probably would mean that the Pennsylvania would obtain the New York, New Haven & Hartford; to the New York Central would go the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and a half interest in the Lenigh Valley, the other half being acquired by the Nickle Plate. The Baltimore & Ohio would gain control of the Reading, the Central

BRITISH STORM AROUSED OVER RUBBERPOLICY Leaders Differ on Wisdom of Lifting Restrictions on Exports. Hu United Press LONDON, April s.—Differing comment today greeted the action of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in announcing the Stevenson rubber restriction—imposed six years ago —would be abandoned, beginning Nov. 1. Some British leaders said the action wcqld aid the rubber market while others predicted a gloomy future. The market Wednesday slid rapidly when the announcement became known: It had opened at 26 cents. When news of Baldwin’s announcement became known the price fell to 21.50 then to 20.50 cent and closed at 20.25. Rubber stocks fell with the news. Spot rubber opened today at 9 '4 pence (18'i cents) a pound, the lowest price since 1922.
Restrictions Are Lifted The Stevenson restrictions limited export of rubber from British growing countries so that when the prices declined, the output also declined. American interests fought tills socalled British monopoly. British thought a fair figure had been reached but America started using reclaimed rubber. Inasmuch as America was the great market, this action brought its affect to the rubber market. Then the government investigated, with the Baldwin announcement the result.
Sir Robert Hutchinson, chief Liberal whip and an opponent of the Baldwin government, said the announcement of the Prime Minister meant disaster to the rubber industry. “'Thousands of people will be ruined,” Hutchinson said. ‘‘Rubber may fall to seven pence a pound.” Leaders Can’t Agree Sir William Mitchell, conservative member of Parliament, said: “Since the announcement rubber has dropped two and a half pence. It will decline further. Nothing can stop it.” Sir Frank Nelson, conservative, said: “The decision is a grave mistake.” Sir George Beharrel, managing director of the Dunlop Rubber Company, Ltd., said he believed the industry soon would be able to get its affairs in order and become healthy, strong and a great value to the empire.
