THE STEEL RAIL POOL
Representatives Of the Leading Rail
establishments Nice. at the HOl.
land House, New York.

New York, Dec. 16.-Representatives
from the leading steel rail manufactur-
erS of the country met this morning at
the Holland House for the purpose OF
discussing matters connected with the
steel rail pool. The meeting was a
continuation of the conference held
yesterday. All the large companies
belonging to the pool were represented
but those most prominent in the nego-
tiation Were Major l.. $. Bent. Of the
Pennsylvania Steel company; w. w.
Scranton, of the Lackawanna Iron ana
Steel company; Robert =. Linderman,
of the bethlehem Iron company, and
Mr.. StackhOusc, of the Cambria Iron
company. The most important subjects
discussed, il was said, concerned al
lotment and percentage matters. Some
of the interests represented in the pool
have been specially dissatisfied with
the percentage arrangement, and asked
today for a more liberal basis
\ committee was finally appointed to
consider the matter. The question of
rates. ii was further said, had not fig
ured prominently in these conferences.
1t was also said that although most
of the manufacturers represented at
todays conference are connected with
the billet pool. nothing concerning the
latter. interest has been discussed. The
participants in tOlay's conference We're
very icticent. The general statement
was made, however, that several prop
ositions are being discussed by the
manufacturers, nearly all of which con-
Germ important matters connected with
the pool. but that the most important
of these referred directly or indirectly
to percentage and distribution matters.
Everybody, it declared, wanted the
greatest possible protection under the
least restrictive agreement.
