NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.
A PLAy TO POOL EAST BOUND FREIGHT
FROM CHICAGO TO NEW FORK.

The Joint Committee Tackled the switchinx
Probicm Again, hat the Chicago and
Grand Truak Did Not Yieid-.Agreepept
for Regulating Eastbound Rates.
There was meeting OF the Joint Executive
Committee OF the Trunk Line and Central
Traffic Associations yesterday to SEQ what
could be done about pooling the east-bound
tonnage between Chicago and the seaboard
This season has demonstrated conclusively
that rate cutting goes on about the same rs
ever. even when all the roads have more bust
ness than they can handle. 1t is believed that
the only sort OF agreement among the compa-
MES that will prove to DO binding is one that
definitely specifies what percentage Of the
business each railroad Is to get The main
difficulty. however. is to effect an allotment
satisfactory to all the parties concerned.
The Joint COMMITTEES didn't make any prog
ress yesterday toward establishing u pool.
although It is believed that this scheme must
be perfected before tho other problems can be
solved. Tho committee devoted most OF Its
time discussing a ponderous agreement that
was drawn up by tho special East-bound
Freight Committee for the purpose Of regulat-
ing rates. This pertains to the old trouble
about the adjustment OF switching charges in
Chicago by the Chicago and Grand Trunk.
which occupied the attention Of the trunk limo
Presidents. but without results.
The Chicago and Grand Trunk people were
represented yesterday. and they were asked
for the thirteenth time whether they would
restore switching charges. Traffic Manager
Reeve held out as emphatically as ever. and
he took refuge behind the well-worn excuse
that he would have to consult with the Presi-
dent OF the road before he could give an an
swer. The situation remains unchanged ex-
cent by the addition OF good resolutions" to
maintain rates, and. as at previous meetings,
the army marched up hill again yesterday and
then marched down again.

Line Association. 4 number Of the Yves:
