NOT PRODUCTIVE OF RESULTS.
Conference of Western Presidents
Accomplished Little.

conference of Western Presidents
Accomplished Little.
New York. September 25.-That the
recent conference here OF Western rail-
road presidents was not productive OF
results so ear as the restoration and main
tenance of freight rates is concerned is
becoming quite apparent. The absence
of Northern Pacific representative from
the meeting was regarded as significant
and neither the Northern Pacdfo. st is
said, nor the Great Northern railroad
has become party to any of the detailed
arrangement proposed by the conference
Those arrangements were placed In the
hands of special committees and 1t is
believed that something in the nature
Of traffic pools are to be formed in df-
ferent sections of the Western territory.
The adhesion of the Northern Pacific
road is considered necessary for the ac-
complishment Of the desired result. AS
already stated, it has not been secured
and 1t is not likely to be. In speaking
OF the results of the recent meeting, an
official of one OF the Big roads said:
Committees have been appointed TO re-
port Al the. next conference, 1t is true
but II will be found that no conclusions
have been reached. The stumbling block
to be encountered in the low-rate con-
tracts entered into between the Western
roads and their Central Traffic associa-
ton connections on business originating
In the trunk line territory. Nothing car
be done until the expiration of these con-
tracts, which wild be soon after the De.
cember conference.
"One of the principal items Of freight
covered by these contracts is the large
apple crop Of New York state, a large
part Of which will be moved West at low
rates.
President Mellen OF the Northern Pa
cihc said: I'VE have repeatedly declared
that we have nothing to do with any poo
and We shall adhere to that policy. Th'
Northern Pacific does not propose to VIC
late the law and get itself into trouble
no matter what other roads may do. WI
maintain the regular rates and endeavoi
TO work with as little friction as posi-
BILE with our neighbors. OF course ",
are in accord with any effort to resort
and maintain rates, and have no desire
to criticise the action or policy Of an!
other railroad. On the advice of coun
sci. however, we shall keep out OF pool
ing arrangements, and particularly blind
pools, which is about what the appoint
ment OF those special committees means
President Mellen added that his com
pany had no agreement with the Grea
Northern.
Another pool mentioned by, Presidan
Mellen was that all pooling arrangement
made by lines acquired by the Northern
Pacific railway were cancelled as the
xuara discovered
