Railroad Men Meet.

The general executive committee Of the
Railway Business Association at meet
ing in Chicago authorized a statement
commencing the spirit in which the
railway presidents recently con-
ferred with the President Of the
United State upon the grave con-
dition confronting the railways. aggra-
waited by the European war: and ex-
pressing deep appreciation Of the ap-
peal made by President Wilson on be-
half of the railways. II further de-
cIares that the logical sequence Of the
Presidents appeal is for business men
to plead that the Interstate Commerce
Commission may find a way to grant
immediate relief in responce TO the Pc
tition which the eastern railways have
now filed. This association always has
observed an attitude of respect for the
commission and has by its utterances
ever voiced its appreciation Of the bur-
dens imposed upon it and Of the per-
plexities involved in the issues pre-
sented for its adjudication. Its appeal
to the commission now is made with a
friendly desire that 1t cope. as the eX-
igency demands, with a portentious sit
uation. the factors Of which have new
er before existed in their deliberatlon.

WATERWAY BILL
Pork" Measure, Carrying
$40, 900, 900, Gets Through
Without Protest.
BURTON IS CENSURED
Stone Rebukes Fiibusters, but Opinion
Is that House Will Accept
Substitute Appropriation.

Acting upon the instructions OF the
Senate, which voted Monday night q
to p, to recommit the river and harbor
pork barrel bill, with instructions to
the Commerce Committee to report a
bill carrying but S2OO00,0O0, the Commerce
Committee reported to the Senate yes
terday a brief measure appropriating a
lump sum OF S2o,OOO,ooO for maintenance
work on existing projects. and to take
care Of the Ievees along the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers.
This bill was promptly passed with
out dissenting vote, and with very
little discussion. There were one or
two efforts to amend II on the floor by
providing for local improvements, but
these proposals were rejected over
whelmingly.
The bill provides that the money is
TO be expended under the direction Of
the Army engineers. and apportioned
among the various projects by the Sec
retary Of War. at his discretion. SEN
ators and Representatives who were in
terested In the big SS3OOO.O00 river and
harbor bill, admitted that they were
disappointed over the success OF the
filibuster led by Senators Burton and
Kenyon. but they are consoling them
selves with the belief that there will be
a general rivers and harbors bill at the
next session OF Congress.
Senator Stone Irritable.
Senator Stone, of Missouri. took occa-
sion in the debate yesterday to criti-
else the newspapers who had approved
the action of the Senators who had OBJ
structed the passage nf the rivers and
harbors bill, and to condemn the Sena-
tors who had fought and killed the meas
ure. Senator Stone referred sarcastically
g.
having his private secretary bring to the
Senate chamber a Iounging robe. slippers,
and other paraphernalia for an all-night
campaign. Senator Stone kept referring
to Senator Burton's 'pajamas." He de-
clared that the spectacle which would
have been presented by the Senator from
Ohio would have been ''sOrrOwful and
ridiculous close OF an otherwise impor-
tant public career"
Senator Burton was prompt TO disavow
any intention to offend the Senate by ap-
pearinE in an unconventional garb. He
intimatcd that someone had been Joking
at his expense in describing the con-
tents OF the dress suit case which his
secretary brought into the Senate cham
Der yesterday morning.
1t was evident that Senator Stone ac-
cepted the defeat Of the pork barrel
bill with vain regret
Il deny that this is a eapitulation TO
the filibusters." said Senator Stone. Il
have not capitulated. l have not surren-
dered. and ! am not standing under a
white flag I may have retreated with
some disorder. but I have not capitu-
lated"
Senator Stone insisted that there would
be another rivers and harbors bill In the
near future.
While there have been threats OF op-
position in the House to the substitute
bill. the Senate leaders were Of the opin-
ion this afternoon that the House would
finally acquiesce in the cut

GOLD SYNDICATE
PLANS MATURING
Nation wide Participation in
Pool Will Raise Neces-
sary Funds.
ASSESSMENTS TO FOLLOW
Railway Business Association Com
mends Presidents-Prof. H.
Parker Willis to Lecture.

Bankers are perfecting plans for the
organization OF the s1oo,OOo.ooo gold pool
in accordance with the agreement
reached Friday between the Federal Re-
serve Board, the Forgan committee and
the committee Of New York bankers. The
first actual business under this plan is
the formation OF the syndicate. II is
not thought that more than two or three
days will be needed for this.
There will be included in the syndicate
national banks in the central reserve
cities Of New York, Chicago, and St
Louis, and in other reserve cities. Also.
since many large centers, for instance,
are listed as country banks, institutions
in some of those places may also be in
cluded. That is one objection to the plan
of participation-that many large city
banks are country banks-but since these
banks carry portions of their reserves in
reserve and central reserve cities, il
was thought that assessment on the
two latter classes was. generally, as
fair q plan a could be devised. particular
ly since it provides for a nationwide
participation.
Assessments will be made, generally, in
proportion to the gold holdings of
the banks.
Immediately on the completion of the
syndicate, subscribers will be asked TO
forward at once 25 per cent of their sub
scriptions, or ,OOO to New York. The
money will be placed In the subtreasury
and the syndicate be managed by the
