The Erie Railway Company has shown
a more liberal spirit in framing a basis OF
age limit than most roads that have
adopted the age lockout" plan. and
while its operation keeps many able-bodied
men out of service whose experience an
ability contributed much to the good OF
the company, it leaves the door open 10 a
large number who may be considered in the
prime OF life. The company will not now
employ any person over ~forty-ive years
OF age. Most Of the roads make thirty
five years the limit.

The Western freight pool. which includes
tventy-SiX roads, has gone TO pieces. A
meeting has been called for to-day at Chi
ago, when an attempt Will be made To
patch up matters and go on. The Santa
Fe, however, fatty refuses to enter the
combination, from which it had withdrawn,
unless the Chicago Great Western becomes
a member and gives a cash guarantee TO
maintain rates, a thing which the Chicago
Great Western is not likely to do. North
western roads Will be represented at the
conference, and the subject of rates will
be cdnvassed.
At the meetings of the Central Passenger

Springs some action is expected govern
ing the hauling of special cars. The rail-
roads dislike hauling private cars of higher
of the privileged class are now learning
to ride in Pullmans and 10 be less eX-
elusive than they have been heretofore.
The idea is to restrict the practice until
II disappears entirely. Trains are now 50
heavy and run at so high speed that one
cult to make fast schedules.
The Central Passenger Association has
decided TO carry out to the letter the re-
cent ruling regarding the establishment OF

arrangements with an electric line for the
sale of through tickets in connection with
it's road.
