Still other in terests to be represented will be from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and West Virginia, where during the past few months movements have been on foot for the consolidation of the coal interests of these states into state cor poratlons for these particular Ileitis The railroads are also taking a keen Interest In the project, and. owing to the Morgan interests predominating »n that Hold, the consolidation Is looked upon as Iteiug unusually strong. The Pennsylvania Hailroad company, tlx Baltimore and Ohio Hailroad company and the western roads under the Morgan influence are associated, it is saM. in the great movement. Which promises to rival in its importance tlu» recent organization of the I'nitcd States Steel corporation. The plans for the consolidation have been going on quietly 'for some mouths. The plan Of ■action is said to have been to first get the minor corporations of one state and all the individual operators as well into one company on the saint basis as the Pittsburg Coal company. After this has been accomplished the Intention was to group all the companies and control them by a. parent corporation as a stock owning com pany only. BIk Conipniilea Interested.
