THE POOLING BILL.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Writes to Senator Cullom.

interstate Commerce Commission
Writes to Senator Cullom.
Washington, May 21.-The interstate
commerce commission has sent Senator
Cullom. of Illinois. letter in response
to request for suggestions regarding the
by William A. Morrison and Judson
Clements and an endorsement with GER
tain notifications is made by j. D. YOU
mans and G. D Prouty-
MeSsrS. Morrison and Clements express
the opinion that pooling should not be
allowed but adds:
But should the congress determine
otherwise and deem it wise TO authorize
which will prevent the abuse of the
privilege granted.
In our opinion this cannot be done
except by guarantees secured before the
authority to pool is given and before the
contract goes into effect. The carriers,
whether by railroad. lake or river-for all
pool should specify their rates on the
tariff or business to be pooled and the
contract. with maximum rates estab-
lished as part of it. should be subject
taking effect. The provision in the pro-
posed bill that the commission may set
aside the pooling contract after 1t has
taken effect and become operative is mis-
leading. Any such attempt at the an
nuling OF a contract by the commission
the carriers will resist as unreasonable
and unlawful, and will but result in vexa-
ton, expenses interminable, and to the
commission unsuccessful law SUITS
Further on they say:
THE time of notice of increase and re-
duction of rates, we believe should be
extended to et least so days.
The facility with which rates are cut
or reduced on three days notice and in
creased after ten days notice, leads to
and encourages the practices which result
in uncertainty and instability of rates and
charges
Continuing they say:
The authority of the commission to
ascertain and declare the reasonable and
legal maximum rate in cases so heard and
several OF the cases awaiting decision
by the supreme court already referred
to. If it is the purpose of congress to
make the commission only a bureau of
investigation, without authority through
the courts or otherwise to correct abuses
existing it should plainly be so stated in
the law to the end that the public may
not be misled in the belief that there is
in existence a statute under which certain
abuses may be corrected -
Messrs Young and Prouty say:
we concur in the foregoing sugges-
tons, with the following qualifications:
We would not oppose the passage of a
pooling bill. provided the other amend
rnents which are necessary TO make the
interstate commerce law effective were a
part of that bill. We are opposed to the
passage OF the pending bill or of any
other pooling bill until this commission
is gwen by suitable amendment the
power in fact which il is supposed to
have and must have in order to carry out
the purposes of the law to regulate COM

practicable and economical motive

what is known as the third rail-
The astonishing success of the expert
ment on the New York & New England
road, which President Clark, of the
New Haven road, predicted would re-
suit in revolutionizing travel on every
railroad in the country, determined the
system to be introduced on the elevated
roads in this city and at an early date
the various electric companies will be
invited to submit bids for equipping the
entire system with the third rail. 1t is
estimated that the change will require
an outlay of $1,000, 000. The saving that
will accrue to the Manhattan company
from the change to the third rail sys-

mated from $4,000 to s1,000.00O year.

Governor Hoadley said he had been
instructed by the government to Sc
cure lawful advantage and concede

denounced emphaticaily the insinua-
