THE ST. LOUIS POOL.

The Vandalia to Ask for an Increase of 8
Per Cent. in the Pool.
81, ". Hubbard, general freight agent of the
Vandaia line, returned from New York yester-
day. and was met at the depot by the railroad
reporter of the journal, who asked at once what
steps had been taken in the matter of increasing
the Vandalia's per cent. in the dead freight east
bound pool out of East St. Ions. Mr.. Hlhbard
stated that he had an informal talk with the
joint executive committee, and they expressed a
willngn to again take the matter up, and he
notified them that the latter part of this week he
would make application for an increase of 5 per
cent. in the pool for the Vandalia, telling them
that he would commence modestly in his de-
inand. He proposes to send in statistical in
formation which will convince Commissioner
Fink and the joint executive committee that the
Vandalia's demand is a just one. Heretofore
the Wabash has been the most bitter opponent
to au increase of the VanGalia's per cent, but
it Is stated that officials high In authority in
the Wabash admit that, all things considered,
the Vandalia is entitled to a larger per cent. Yet
the same officials are not inclined to say what
they think The increase should be, aud here is

The girl died at the hospital, and there seems
