The announcement said because of the gradual inte gration of operations, it Is ex pected natural employe turn over and retirements would make displacement of em ployees negligible. A railway consultant firm, Wyer, Dick and Co., estimated in a 1957 survey the proposed merger would provide even tual operating savings of about $40 million a year. Gross operating revenue of the four railroads last year was about $735.7 million.
