ported over the Rock lslanu road, as the bostoh
company preferred.
1t is perhaps premature to infer, rs some do'
that the action of the pool in this instance Is
confession that freight cannot legally be
diverted. without consent of the shipper, from
the road TO which it has been delivered. There
may have been good reason for making no
contest in this instance which would not exist
in other cases. Nevertheless the position
taken by the Boston company would probably
be sustained by the urts. Every road, as
common carrier, Is bound to transport freighC
offered to it, when the shipper has any reason
for demanding its transportation by that ROAD
rather than another, and this obligation, II 1t
exists at all, cannot be set aside by any compact
between the railroads. If a railroad cannot
transport freight offered within the Tune
required, that is another matter; but IL is not
with such cases that the pooling compact deals
If the shippers see fit to insist that their frelght
shall be taken by a particular road, 1t Is
probable that the courts will uphold them anu
require each road to perform the service thus
demanded, regardless of pooling compacts.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that a consid-
cradle proportion of shippers do not care by
what route freight reaches its destination,
provided it arrives in proper time and IN good
order. BY shifting from one road TO another
the large proportion of freight concerning
which the shippers make no demand, the pools
will still be enabled to carry out their agree
ments and to divide traffic according to agreed
percentages If they can do this without
refusing the demand of any shipper who
insists upon designating the route to be taken,
it does not seem that the courts can interfere.
AS TO the pubic interest. it is sufficient to say
that rates have been lower, on the whole, since
these compacts for division of business went
into effect than they were during any like period
of years before that time.
