CHICAGO, Oct 3-The proposed plan for form
ing gross money pool on Southwestern passen-
ger business. which has absorbed the attention
of the magnatss of the Southwestern roads
throughout the past week. has fallen through,
ana now the successful organization of pool Is
practically as far away ever. Itrequired four
days to bring about agreement on the first
section of the proposed plan. The vexatious
point was finally settled by compromise, and
yesterday the meeting proceeded with
the consderati on Of the rest of 8 the
plan. The percentage clause was
pointed out in advance as the rock on which
long and fruitless discussion followed the read
ing of the percentage clause. The Wabash road
moved to submit the question to arbitration.
The Chicago & Alton has always been opposed TO
this method of settling the percentage question,
and was prompt in enterisg its protest. Vice
President McMullin said that he was instructed
by his company say that the Alton would not
enter any pooling agreement for period of more
than one year. This was thunderbolt, inasmuch
as the expectation was that if pool was formed
il would be for period OF at least three years.
The Atoms representative was requested to re-
iterate his statement, which be did without hes
itation, and delberation on the proposed plan
ceased instanter Before separating, however.
the managers talked over the feasibility of draw
ing up plan on the one-year basis, and COM

committee is to report at early hour on Mon

The Future of the +. B. &w

In Eastern railroad and financial circles there
is good deal of speculation as to the future of
the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road.
Some are inclined to belitte and speak slurring-
Hy of its Importance. while others express the
opinion that it has q good future. For instance,
one Philadelphia paper says: BESIDE sbeing at
the head of the Reading corporations, Mr. Corbin
Is president of the Indiana Bloomington e. West
ern railroad. This line has been classed in the
category of railroads that begin at nothing and
end nowhere. On the map it is laId down as

distance of 342 miles, with extension to CO.

Freight Business.

The train records show that, on all the lines,
there is good, healthy movement of freight
1t will be noticed that last week there were
ffty-three more loaded cars received and for
warded at this point than in the week preceding
and that the movement of loaded cars fell 406
below that of the corresponding week last year.
This is wholly due to the scarcity of Not
for some years have the cars Of Indianapolis
roads been in such constant service for ninety
days past So heavy is local business that the
fast freight lines have only their own cars to use
East-bound there is an increased movement of
export business. while the shipments to interior
points have dropped off somewhat. light
East-bound movement Is quite probable
until navigation closes. Then heavy
movement. as compared with the present tonnage,
Is looked for. West bound tonnage is heavy be-
yond parallel and the rates at which it is car
rIed leave fair margin to the roads. Not for
years have west bound rates been well main
tanned as this year. Traffic in this direction
now promises to be heavy until after the holt
days. The north and south roads continue to
do good business. giving employment to all
their equipments Local business is taxing the
roads to their utmost capacity to furnish the
cars to handle the freight offered. Both in and
out bound the tonnage is unusually heavy, and
seldom is such activity shown about the city
freight depots and in the city yards as now. Be-
low is given the number of cars received and for
warded at Indianapolis in the week ending Oct.

and with the corresponding week of 1885:

Second Edition of Sunday:l
The Threatened Strikes at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2-The week of the expected strikes
and lockouts at the Union stockyards ended this
evening with the working forces of the great packing
houses and kindred institutions yet intact though
few of the smaller have practically stopped
their machinery for indefinite period, and one firm,
Shields 81 Neill, has packed up and moved to Ne
braska unable longer to withstand the difference
between ten hours work for hours pay and eight
hours work for ten hours pay. That concerted action
the part of the packers is contemplated freely
admitted by them to-day. What the exact nature of
their movement is would not be divulged. If made,
it will. according to careful estimates made to-
day, affect in the neiSb borhood of $4,000 men,
not to speak of those EN- oyed in clerical capacity.
The only thing in the nature of strike occurred to-
day at Armours. AS the cash boys, sixty in number,
in the retail department of Armours packinghouses
received their cash envelopes to-day each of the
youngsters notified the paymaster that he expected
increase from 81 so per week to So from now on. AS
fast the boys made known their ultimatum they
were told that the house would struggle without
their assistance The juvenile strikers then adjourned
to the railway tracks near by. where they elected
chairman He straightway appointed strike com
mittee consisting OF five boys varying in age from
eight to twelve years. The committee did its work
well, for. When the superintendent went out on a
search for boys fill the places of the dissatisfied
cash boys, he met with nothing but blank refusals.

The advantages to be derived from this con-

closing the gap.
