STEEL RAIL POOL IS
SAID TO BE DISSOLVED

New York, May Irresponsible
authority is claimed by the Journal of
Commerce for statement that the
steel rail pool, the combination of the
six largest rail mills in the country, to
make prices and allot tonnage, has been
officially dissolved. The dissolution, it
is believed, will have little bearing
upon prices of steel rails for several
months, as the tonnage of the mills
for 1905 has been allotted
The mills in the agreement were the
Illinois Steel comapny's mills and the
Carnegie mills of the United States
Steel corporation, the Pennsylvania
Maryland, Cambria and Lackawanna
Steel companies.
The official pool price has since 1901
been $2S, and in that year the average
price was $27.33 and in 1900 1929. 8

PRESIDENT FACES
HIS HARDEST FIGHT
The Senate Committee Attitude
Toward Rate Legislation
. Points the Way.
Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Roosevelt will have the hardest fight Of
his career in bringing about legislation
strengthening the hands of the inter
state commerce commission by giving 1T
power to revise railroad freight rates.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce has closed its hearings on this
subject, and it has developed that
nothing will be done. The republican
members of the committee are hopeless
" divided and the representatives of
the railroads on this body are deter
mined that absolutely nothing shall be
| done.
The only hope of the shippers lies in
which of course, is with the president
on this subject.
President Swings Whip.
Already President Roosevelt is en-
deavoring to whip Senators Elkins,
Kean and the other railroad senators
into line, and he has hopes that by the
time the committee meets, three weeks
before congress assemblies, the state of
feat the opposition. Senator Elkins,
the chairman Of the committee, by vir-
tue Of his position naturally has great
influence with the committee and he
can use this power to prevent the com.

It was believed from the beginning
of the hearings that they would come
solely for the purpose of carrying the
question over from the last session OF
congress to the recess with the hope oil
breaking down public sentiment in ia
vor Of legislation.
There has been no abatement in the
demand, but in fact it has grown
stronger as the hearings have proceeded
and the line of questioning has disclosed
the fact that some of the most inauen

public, the shippers, and the president

Roosevelt also observed this tenden
cy and to offset it he made a strong
speech in the west, in which he declared
} that he was still in favor of legisla
ton. -,
Since his return to Washington eff
} forts have been made to show that he
is not SO strongly in favor of railroad
rate legislation as before congress ad
journed, but stories to this effect were
CIRCULATED by representatives Of the
railroads. Notwithstanding these per
sistent rumors, the president has moi
budged one inch from his position. II

railroad senators will be made to fee
his immense power before the next ses
sion of congress is more than a week
