POOLING BUSINESS.
ST. Louis Times journal:
II appears that p2oling Is the order Of things

agreements to pool their earnings on various

nents or combinations for sef-proteetfon. At |
lnntnnati they have held q number Of meetings
% tho purpose of organizing their pool for
mother, year, and 1t was very wisely said by
louisville e;nntemporary: IT Is either. pool or
,angement made between the owners Of tugs il

principle is, TO do business at remunsratiye
