TRUNK LINE ROADS IN A POOL.

a Chance Now to Test the legality of
Intor-stats Commerce Act.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-The presidents
of the railroads in the Trunk Line and
the Central Traffic associations met
this afternoon to act upon an agree.
ment for the formation OF pool
on all dead freight, live stock
dressed beef and traffic east of
Chicago. Such an agreement was
drawn up and adopted by the
joint committee of the two assoei-
xtions some time ago. and was later
acted upon by the presidents of both
associations. This was adopted this
afternoon, as all the roads are in favor
of it,
1t is plainly violation of the in
terstate commerce law. but that is pre-
cisely what the railroad managers are
after. They want to bring the matter
to an issue and have the question settled
once for all. The adoption of the pool
agreement assures legal fight over
the constitutionalitY of the interstate
commerce law, Perhaps, when the
receivers of tho Erie road ask permis-
sion of the court to enter the agree.
ment. the question will be precipitated.
