NEW YORK, Sept. 9S.-TNat the re-
cent conference here OF western railroad
presidents was not productive of results,
SO far as the restoration and malnton-
ance OF rates Is concerned, Is becoming

The absence OF a Northern Pacific
representative from the meeting was re-
garied as significant. and neither the
Northern Pacific. IL Is said, nor the
Great Northern railroad has become a
party 10 any of the detailed arrange.
ments proposed by the conference.
Those arrangements We're placed IN the
hands Of special committees. and Il is

Of traffic pools are 90 be formed IN the

railroad Is considered necessary for the
accomplishment OF the desired result,
As already stated. Il has not been Sc.
cured and Il is not likely 20 be.
President Mellen. OF the Northern
Pacific. said:
I'VE have repeatedly declared that
We have nothing to do with any pool
and shall adhere TO that policy, The
Northern Pacific does not propose TO
violate the law and get itself into
rouble, no matter What Other roads
may do. We maintain the regular rates
and endeavor TO get along with as
little friction as possible with our neigh
bors, or course We are In accord with
any effort 20 restore and maintain rates
and | have no desire 10 criticlse the ac-
tion or policy OF any other railroad. On
the advice OF counsel. however We shall
Keep out OF pooling arrangements and
particularly blind pools, which Is
about what the appointment OF those
special committees means
President Mellen added that his COM
pany had no agreement with the Great
Northern.
Another pool mentioned by President
Mellen was that all pooling arrange
ments made by lines acquired by the
Northern Pacific railroad company were
cancelled as fast as they We're discov-
