chairman Cooley Seeks Information and

CHICAGO, Oct IA The tendency of rail-
way lines to consolidate, which has been
shown recently, has attracted the attention
Of Judge Cooley, of the interstate commerce
commission, and about two weeks ago he
wrote a letter to Chairman Finley, of the
Trans Missouri association, asking him for
an explanation. Mr.. Finley's reply is to the
effect that before the days of the inter
state commercs law substantially uni
form rates were obtained by pooling
The law prohibits this latter, and the weaker
roads are now compelled to earn their main
tenance from traffic originating with them
In order to hold this traffic they fiai them
selves Obliged to reduce the rates, thus de-
moralizing business The conseq usnce is that
the stronger railways, looking about for
some means whereby they may remedy this
evil can discover but ons, an that is toa bsorb
the weaker Ones and by this means bring
about that uniformity and reasonabieness of
rates which the law chntemplates and the
relative adjustments which are commercially
