BANKERS AND RAILROADS.

NEW YORK, Jan. lin regard to the
meeting of the railroad presidents and
bankers yesterday, the Times says: Pres
ident Roberts, of the Pennsylvania COM
pany. suggested at the meeting that per
haps what was needed as much as an as
sociation of reformed railway men, was
an association Of reformed bankers. When
parallel lines are projected, said he the
banking houses are always ready TO make
IA commission floating the parallels securi-
~. This thrust brought out pledge that
the three banking houses present would
never again do such a thing. Indeed, the
bankers went further and promised to
boycott any new enterprise intended TO
compete with the old lines. Not all of the
bankers of the land We're at the meeting
however. and it is fair 10 surmise that AT
least one wicked banker Will still be found
occasionally willing to sell parallel bonds

THEY FAVOR THE PLAN.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The only important
western lines not represented at the New
York meeting of railroad presidents and
bankers were the Chicago & Alton and
the Illinois Central. Both President
Blackstone, of the Illinois Central, and
Vice-President McMullen, of the Chicago
&c Alton, said today that they regarded the
plan as a good one, although they were
not quite ready to say that they would
sign it. They were ready to maintain
rates under any scheme that may be
proposed, but the peculiar position
which the Chicago & Alton occupies, by
force of circumstances on the question of
commissions may prevent it from endors-
ing provisions which prohibit the parment
of commissions.
General Manager Jeffrey, of the Illinois
Central, approves of the plan of the presi-
dents and said that his road had strictly
obeyed the provisions of interstate law
from the time it became effective. He
was glad to see other roads deciding to
pursue the same policy.
