HOBART'S HAND In A POOL
He Helped to Form a Great Rail
road Trust.
The Evidence in an Investigation
Into Alleged Grain Rate Cutting
Among Certain Railroads.

Garrett A Hobart, Vice President Of
the United states, figures in al. agree
rnent OF the Joint Traffic Association, by
which ten railroads running east from
Chicago formed gi gantio physical
pool and distri ributed freight traffic
among themselves on a percentage basis
Evidence To this effect was brought out
before the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion on Wednesday, in its inyestiEa ton
into alleged grain rate cutting among
the railroads. 1t was shown that Mr..
Hobart was one of three Inen who pre-
pared and signed the agreement
The commerce committee claimed in
] o95 that this pooling was in violation
OF the interstate commerce law. A re-
cent decision in the Trans Missouri case,
in which 1t was alleged the same agree
ment was d violation OF the antitrust
law, WIS decided against the JOINT Traffic
Association. Notwithst an ding this de-
ciSiOn, it was sworn tC yesterday that
the association still continued to pool
its traffic, though the agreement signed
by the Vice President had been declared
a violation OF the antitrust law.
The investigation Of the alleged pooling
agreement between the members OF the
National Joint Traffic association is being
conducted by Interstate Commerce Com
missIOners Prouty, Morrison and Geomans
in this city.
The investigation was brought about by
the attention OF the commission being
called to the fact that between thirty and
forty OF the principal railroads OF the
in al al
tion OF clause . OF the interstate commerce
law, which says:
That it shall be unlawful for any COM
mon carrier subject to the provisions Of
this act to enter into any contract. agree
mcnt or combination with any other com
mon carrier or carriers for the pooling OF
frpights Of different and competing rail
roads, or to divide between them the ag-
gregute or net proceeds OF the earnings Of
such railroads, or any portion thereof; and
in any case Of an agreement for the pool
ing Of rreights as aforesaid. each day OF
its Continuance shall be deemed a separate
uffense'
The penalty for the violation Of the above
law il a fine ~ not TO exceed 81, 900 OrtwO
years Imprisonment, or both.
The three commissioners have been
probing for several weeks intoth methods
adopted by the Joint Traffic A sSOciatiOn
in distributing freight traffic among them
selves ON a percentage basis.
If the Commissioners find that the law
has been violated, they viii either call
the attention OF the AttOrncy-Gc eral
TO the fact, or else recommend hat the
United states District Attorney OF the
state in which the OffeuSe is charged
institute proper proceedings to enforce
the law.
1t IS a well-known fact that vice Presi-
dent Hobart Is one of tire three arbltratpTs
who fix the percentage of traffic for the
various roads east OF Chicago, and that
he draws the fat salary Of $50, 900 for
his services in that Connection
