plhihh by crih'n interests.
NEW YORK, Dec. iG.-The most I'M
ror.ant subjects discussed by the steel
rail pool To-day concerned Gllotmen: and
percentage matters. Some OF the IN
tcrcsts represented In the pool have been
especially dlssRtIs With she percent
aye arrangement, and asked to-day for
o. more liberal basis. one ot the per-
sons Interested explained the difficulty
by saying that certain parties desired
ldO per cent distribution when there was
only 100 per cent TO bc divided. THIS re-
mark referred chiefly TO the arrange
incnt proposed for the coming year. y
committee was finally appointed TO con-
slider the matter from the standpoint or
certain complaining interests. AL
though most OF the manufacturers rep
resented at tO-day'B conference nrc con-
ncctcd wi;h the billet pool, nothing con-
Ccrnlug the latter interest was discussed.
All those participating In tO-day's con-
ference declined 10 talk about the Sf-
faIrE discussed or to cay what the pro-
hnblc outcome of the pending neE0t!a-
tioHs would be. The following general
statement was made:
Several different propositions are be-
InS discussed by the manufacturers. The
most important OF these referred directly
or indirectly 60 pcrCentag ge and distrlbu-
tlOn matters. but as many other qucs-
tlons Will come up when these are set
tied, the subjects under discussion now
concern nearly all important matters
connected with the pool. Our pool IL an
old one and has been successfully man
aged. 1t has benefited the industry
greatly and ! think In the long run has
bettcred the condition OF the small man
