TO POOL CARS.
ii Big Railroads Owning 542,-
500 Cars Agree to Plan.
Will Facilitate Traffic - Will
Not Violate Law.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Common owner
ship of all freight cars in the United
States is, in effect, the radical plan
advocated by some of the greatest
railroads to increase the facilities tc
shippers and secure the utmost eff
cheney from the cars now in service.
Among the railroads which have
agreed to pool their freight cars are:
Rock Island system, $4,000 cars.
Frisco system, 10000 cars
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, 10000
cars.
Chicago & Alton, 1000.
st. Paul system. as, 500 cars.
Baltimore & Ohio system. 10000
cars.
Erie. $4,000 cars.
Hartman system, 10000 cars.
Pennsylvania system, 10000 cars.
Santa Fe system, 10000 cars.
Illinois Central system. $4,000 cars.
The railroads committed to the pool
ing plan own 542,500 freight cars out
of total of 100000 in the United
States. At a meeting here on Friday
of the presidents and leading traffic
and operating officials of the railroads,
it is certain that more roads will join
the pooling plan.
The following committee has been
appointed to arrange details for
freight car clearing house. Arthur
Hale, general superintendent of trans
portation of the Baltimore e. Ohio rail-
road, ]. Kruttschnitt. director of main
tenance and operation of the Hartman
system; w. A. Gardner, vice president
in charge of operation of the North
western system; H. I. Miller, president
of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. and
Daniel Willard, vice president in charge
of operation of the Burlington system.
Every car of each road will be re-
garded as lat home so long as it is
on the rails of any other road in the
pool This will make unnecessary the
issuance of orders that cars shall not
be loaded for delivery at points beyond
the terminals of the owning road.
To have enough cars many roads
have issued such orders recently, caus-
ing delay in through shipments.
1t is likely that the roads in the pool
will not permit their cars to be deliv-
cred to lines which refuse to join 1t.
This rule would be adopted to prevent
roads from retaining cars by merely
paying rental.
While 1t is proposed that each road
shall have on its own rails. so far as
possible. the number of cars which it
puts into the pool, when all of them
are short of cars they will aid each
other.
THE freight car clearing house will
facilitate the movement of traffic. in
stead of restraining trade, and there
fore it cannot be in violence of the
antitrust law" said an officer of one
of the western systems. while the OBJ
ject in esta ablishing it now is to meet
the extraordinary demands of shippers,
manent and to have all the railroads in
it"

A Good Idea.

The fruit farms of Josephine
County are to be named and the
fruit shipped from each is to bear
upon its boxes and upon letterheads
used in the shipping business the
name of the farm. This idea strikes
the very keynote of excellence in
production. 1t is safe to say that
the attainder of wormy or scaly
fruit will not be fastened to any
self-respecting growers name and
that the farm that he advertises as
his own will be a credit to him
through its products. .-Oregonian.
While the above will be all right,
no boubt, in Josephine county, we
should think it would be good plan
to use here in connection with the
Fruit Growers Union. 1t would
enable each grower to get credit for
his labors and would also create q
demand for his fruit, as by having
his name on his boxes it would
guarantee the purchaser against
getting bad fruit, and as the Ore
gonian says, if your neighbor shipped
scabby and wormy apples, he would
get the credit, and not the whole
community.
