The interstate com merce commission held "prima facie impracticable" a plan for reorgan ization of the Rock Island railway advanced by a protective committee of the road's preferred stocks. The plan contemplated consolidation of the Rock Island with the St. Louis San Francisco and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail companies. "While the committee urges that the proposed consolidation offers many operating advantages, prin cipally from a traffic standpoint," the commission's order said, "it is not contended that marked economies of operation will result immediately."
