CHICAGO, June ll.-lSpccial Telegram to
THE BEE. AT today's meeting of the gen.
eral managers of lines in the Interstate Com
mcrce Railway association nothing was done
besides allowing the Missouri Pacific TO quote
the East St Louis rate on steel articles from
Bclleville, Ill. An informal discussion on the
association itself developed unanimous de-
sire to rcorgaui2c under an agreement some-
what similar to the one proposed for the west
ern associated railways, which 1t was pro-
posed to form on the remains of the inter-
state association.
The hitch i'll the formation of this organiza-
ton was the fear of offending the interstate
commerce commission by advocating pool
ing. The general managers were today
in receipt of news from Washington which
made it practically certain that the senate
committee on interstate commerce would re-
port favorably on an amendment allowing
railroads to pool traffic or earnings.
Under such an amendment and i'll the pres
ent temper of western railroad officials, it
would be perfectly feasible to form Il strong
association to take the place of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association.
Chairman Walker thoroughly believes in
pooling and has been urging it for week on
the senate committee. The boards of trade
and prominent shippers are also unanimous in
favor of pooling by railroads, the Chicago
board having officially declared that it is the
only certain means of securing reasonable and
stable rates

one-third is paid up, The St Paul book and
stationery company, which became a member
of the trust ana has the contract for supply
ing the state of Minnesota with books, is try
