G0Wen. president of the Reading Railroad
company, states that no significance could be
attached 10 the fact that the gentlemen rep
reSenting the interests in the coal com mbina-
tiOn had not appended their personal signa-
lures to the compact. I've consider ourselves
bound on our personal honor, and hold the
minutes OF the meetings as binding u.s." said
Mr.. Gowen. 1t has never been customary to
sign the agreement, except, / think, the first

thought necessary to do So" The general
opinion among other coal men Is that the CON-

benefit to the parties composing it, and that
as soon as some one can makeit advantageous
to drop Out il viii be done.
