To Pool Southern Freight Traffic.


 New York, Jan. 20.-The Mail and Ex- press this afternoon prints the following:
 It is learned on the highest authority today that the lines comprising the Southern States Freight association are preparing plan whereby it is proposed to pool the traffic to and from southern points within the jurisdiction of that or ganiZation. Steps to that end have al ready been taken, and the special com mittee from that associa ton. which was in session in this city the latter part of last week, discussed various means and proposed basis on which it is proposed to divide the business. This committee was headed by Commissioner Haines of the Southern States Freight association, and among other members present were Vice-President Finley of the Southern, General Manager Scott of the Georgia road, Vice-President Erwin of the Plant System and Tariff Manager Emerson of the Atlantic Coast Line. This committee held a final meeting Saturday morn ing at No. 24 Park Place, and they will meet again soon to make their reports as to the acceptance of the plan pro- posed.
 The present unsatisfactory condition of southern traffic, coupled with the dis satisfaction known to exist among the lines is responsible for the proposed plan of division.
 For some time past it has been appar- ent that steps in the proposed direction would have to be taken in order to pre- vent open rebellion. The notice of with drawal of the Seaboard Air Line has changed matters, and under the propos- ed plan all differences will be satisfied. Dlfferentials are proposed and the gen eral plan of the joint traffic association will be followed.
