The Chairman's Opinion

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Georgc r. Blanch-
ard, chairman of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton, said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press today that meeting OF the as
sociaton viii be held soon to consider the
decision of the Supreme Court, when their
legal counsel will advise them and perhaps
make a statement.
I'VE have already asked Congress to pass
pooling law" said Mr.. Blanchard. "and
that remedy has been denied US. Our posi-
ton has long been that uniformity of rail
road rates is essential to commercial pros
perity. If. for instance. there were sixty
different rates into New York, the stability
of New Yorli's commerce would be at an
end What we desire from Congress is au-
thority to contract among ourselves for
maintaining uniformity of rates. I do not
think there is any need of providing by law
for a penalty for disregard of uniform rates
by railroad companies by their agents"

RAILROAD MANAGERS
STAGGERED BY THE SUPREME
COURT DECISION
MANY MEETINGS TO BE HELD
Wanted-a Scheme to Control Traffic
Rates Without Violating the
Law of the Land
Associated Press Special Wire

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-The Tribune says
| Railroad officials were unwilling to tail
for publication about the JOINT traffic de
clson, saying that they could not discuss
its bearings until they had had an opportunl
ty to read the text of the Supreme Court )
opinion, and James {. Carter, VINO, with eX
Minister Edward j. Phelps and ex-senator
Edmunds, argued the cause of the JOINT
Traffic Association before that tribunal,
also declined to say anything III advance OF
careful study of the opinion, the copy ol
which he expects to receive within day or
so. 1t is generally thought, however, that
the dissolution of all the other existing rail
way associations of the country, as well as
the Joint Traffic Association, is inevitable.
The existence of these bodies has not had
the effect of putting stop to rate cutting,
and some railroad men are inclined to think
that the companies will get along fairly well
by instituting again the system OF gentle
mems agreements" as substitute for the
association Others declare that 1t will be
absolutely necessary for the welfare OF the
roads for Congress to enact new legislation.
Aldace L. Walker, Chairman OF the Board
of Directors of the Atchison Road, said:
This decision makes action by Congress
imperative, as the railroad business can
not be conducted in conformity with the an
ti-trust statute as construed by the Supreme
Court"
President Fink of the Norfolk and West
ern said that he had fully expected that the
Supreme Court would decide against the
railroads.
Nevertheless, he added, 81 believe, as
always have believed, that rate agreements
are not in restraint of trade, but on the
contrary, that they facilitate it. The rail
roads will now have to shape their organiza
tions to fit the law"
1t is expected that the Board of Control
of the Joint Traffic Association will meet
within a few days to take action in line
with the courts decision, perhaps changing
the joint traffic agreement so greatly as to
make the association in future nothing more
than bureau OF information.

TOO HEAVY TO CARRY
spaniards Will Leave Dry Dock at
Havana

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Naval officers
who have visited Havana harbor recently
have reported that the fine new steel float
ing dry dock, which was purchased by the
Spanish government in England and towed
to Havana just prior to the outbreak of the
var, cannot be moved, owing to neglect
on the part of Spanish officers and also to
their inability to manage the dock properly.
The structure is large enough to take in any
of our battleships and is completely
equipped with system of electrical control,
which, in the hands of American mechanics
would make the dock 81 inestimable value
to the American navy at this particular
time, when there is only dry dock at New
York capable of taking in our big battle
ships. Probably the fact that the dock is
in the condition described is the only rea-
son why the Spanish officials at Havana
have not already made an effort to have the
dock towed to Spain.
