POOL FALLS
The Northern Pacific Refuses to Vic
late the Law.

New York, Sept. 25.-That the re-
CEN conference here of western rail
road presidents was not productive of
results so far as the restoration and
maintenance of freight rates is con
cerned. is becoming quite apparent,
THE absence of a Northern Pacific rep
resentative from the meeting vas re-
garded as significant and neither the
Northern Pacific, it is said, nor the
Great Northern railroad has become a
party of any of the detailed arrange
ments we're placed in the hands of
special committees and it is believed
that something in the nature of traf-
fc pools are t o be formed in different
sections of the western territory.
The adhesion of the Northern Pa
cifc road is considered necessary for
the accomplishment of the desired re-
suit. AS already stated, it has not
been secured, and it 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 report at the next conference, it is
true, but it will be found that no con,
illusions have been reached. The
stumbling block to be encountered is
the low-rate contracts entered into L
tween the western roads and their
central traffic association connections
on business originating in trunk line
territory. Nothing a be done until
the expiration of these contracts,
which will be soon after the Deem
Der conference. One of the principal
items of freight, covered by these con
tracts 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
Pacific said:
1--WE have readily repeatedly declar'
ed that we nave nothing to do with
any pool, and we shall adhere to that
policy. The Northern Pacific does not
propose to violate the law and get it
self into trouble, n matter what 9th
err roads may do. We maintain the
regular rates and endeavor to get
along with as little friction Is posi-
BILE with our neighbors. OF course, We
are in accord with any efforts to re
store and maintain rates, and have
no desire to criticize the action or pol
icy of any other railroad. On the ad
wise of counsel, however, we shall keeI
out of pooling arrangements, and par
ticularly blind pools, which is about
what the appointment of those specia
committees means"
President Mellen added that his
company had no agreement with the
Great Northern.
Another pool mentioned by Presi
dent Mellen was hat all pooling ar
arrangements made by lines acquired
by the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany were cancelled as fast as they
were discovered.
