Pennsylvania rallroad today held the key to the immedlate solution of the ten-year-old railroad consolidation program which is of such vital Importance to every Pennsylvania community. Information reaching here that the Baltimore Ohio and Chesapeake Ohio trunk lines are ready to accept the commiasion's merger plan 88 recently announced, followed on the two it Important moves by the commission One was the order to the Baltimore Ohio to divest itself of the Western Maryland stock it holds. The other were strong intimations that the com-1 mission is determined to move sively for adoption of Its plan. These Intimations came in the hearings now being conducted on the B. 0.

application to acquire the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburgh, which has been tentatively granted. large eastern trunk-line concerned in the merger plan, except the Pennsylvania, is ready to agree to the plan or some modification of it. it was indicated here today. Thus the appearance of the Pennsylvania, with its ally the Delaware Hudson, as the sole opposition to the B. O.

acquisition of the B. R. P. was regarded as of prime significance. It was also recalled that last year several conferences commission attended by W.

W. Atterbury, Patrick E. Crowley and 0. P. Van Sweringen heads of the Pennsylvania, New York Central and C.

O. systems, respectively, ended in a deadlock. It WAS reported today that no further conterences of this nature will be held. Allocation B. R.

P. to the )B. O. and of the Western Maryland to the new fifth trunk-line are the indicated Arst moves of the commission for actual enforcement of its program. Next, expected, will shortly come formal" announcement that the New York Central has agreed to Baltimore Ohio terms whereby the B.

O. will purchase the former's intereat In the Reading and New Jersey Central. Thus, virtually every key railroad In present situation, 1s not only an important coal carrier, but a general line of the highest importance to Pennsylvania generally. The Pennsylvania assumes the posttion, therefore, of holding out strongly for maintenance of the Reading as a terminal line with trackage rights for all carriers which need it, but with individual ownership. It also will not give up the Norfolk Western, gential to Afth trunk-line now accepted by all the systems except the Pennsylvania, without a court battle, it is believed.

At all events, the beginning of an aggressive battio by the commission for putting into effect its consolidation plan now appears scheduled for this week. MRS. MARY E. WATTERS DIES IN MOUNT UNION MOUNT UNION, Jan. 21.
