porate power as rebates, pooling and un-
equal and unreasonable traffic charges have
proved insufficient by reason of the position
of these corporations as being mediums OF
Interstate commerce as claimed by them;

there is now pending in the senate bill
called the patterson pooling biH, Whlch
is designed to repeal that portion OF the
Interstate commerce law which prohibits
the pooling of business or earnings among
competing railroad lines, and thus to legal
