CHANGES OPPOSED
IN RAIL POOL PLAN
Shippers Attack Proposals of
Railway Executives to
Commission.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Shippers yesterday objected to any
change in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions plan for assisting needy
railroads by pooling revenue from new
surcharges.
This opposition developed as the
roads told the commission why they
wanted the scheme altered.
Through Alfred T. Thorn, general
counsel for the Association Of Railway
Executives, and j. M. Souby, represent
ing the Union Pacific, the carriers
claimed parts Of the commission plan
were illegal.
Railroads Favor Loans.
They asserted any assistance to needy
lines from the proposed pool should be
in the form of loans, not gifts. They
urged, too, that when rate reductions
became necessary the surcharges be
Slashed, rather than basic rates.
The first oppos. tor to the changes
came from the Southern Traffic. League
c. E. Cotterill, speaking for it, urged
the commission to act with caution He
thought the pre-car surcharge which
the roads want changed to a cents-per-
ton basis, should not be altered, because
it would remove the incentive to heavier
car loadings.
Any change in the method of decreas-
