Ni.w YOUR , Nov. 17. Presidents of thu
truck lines have entered into nn agreement ,
which , If carried out , will enu most of the
wurfuro between tomp.uilos , They hnvo
n creed that a pool , pure mid simple , is thu
only solution of the railroad question , and
have outlined all the details of the now com
pact. The establishment ot n pool had
ntwiiys been rcgnrded ns u useless challenge
of the ininrstato commercii law , but the sit
uation has become fci ) desperate that the
presidents saw no other way out of iho miro.
The seriousness of the situation brought
together nn unusually li.rgu attendance. The
naming of the World's fair rates was the
oslrntiiuln object of this meeting , but that
was designed to conceal the real purpose of
the mooting , namely , the ustubllihmcnt of a
pool. ,
President Roberts , chairman of the board
ul presidents , said that it was clear that the
thro hod como for all trunk lines to act In
linrmonv. Ho wus sure Unit the strong Hues
wore ready to make any reasonable coucoa-
. Hlons that would satisfy the so-called weaker
romls. If It wus simply a matter of weaker
companies getting a certain amount of
tonnnec. ho was ready to guarantee them u
llxcd amount.
President Uopow of the Now i"orkCentral
tc-echoud this sentiment.
Mr. Roberts said tlio terrors of law need
not interfere with tha plan. "Tho bonollls
that will accrue to all the companies , " bo
buUI , "aro manifesto.n shull got a fair
rt'coinpsnso for hnullug tralllc and nil antag
onism c.in easily b" removed.
A lengthy discussion ensued ana the out
come was that they decided to leave the ad-
} iistii.cnt of percentages of westbound com-
piirntlvo tontmcu to Commissioner Goddnrd ,
who will use tlm average that each had e.ir-
rlcd for iho past three years as a basis.
As suguested by President Roberts nnd
Depnw , the commissioner will allow a slight
nilvantngutolho weaker lines. Each company
hlmll huvo a hearing below the commis-
Blopcr before ho fixes the potcoiitnces. After
the nllntmei.t , If any company Is dissatlsll-jd ,
it may appeal to Mr. A. F. Walker as an in-
bllraior , whose decision , with Mr. Goddard's
concurrerico will DO linal. Mr. Walker K
chairman of the Western Tr.iOlc association
uud cx-lnter.itato commerce commissioner.
Eiistbouml freight tralllc will bo trontod
similarly to the westbound tralllo Inter on.
There is already n plan for distribution ol
piissongor trallfc , but It has boon practically
Inoperative. The presidents will give orders
to have It enforced to the loiter. It Is
claimed that a passenger pool is not illegal.
Tbo conclusions about World's fair rates
wens In accordance with the now agreement.
On all regular trains .scheduled at thirty-
live hours or less between Chicago ami Now
York present rates will bu in.iintaiucd. On
nil trains scheduled at moro than thmv-llvo
hours ltd per cent reduction may bo made.
Several ot the railroads require moro than
thlrty-llvo hours for the trip finni Now
'
York'to Chicago and they will offer n re
duced rate. It .should bo said , however , that
many chunp excursion trains will ho run
nl rates to bo sot by the commissioners
A rcbolutlon was passed declaring that
boih east und west-hound freight rates be
tween New York anil Chicaco shall ho
. . stored to the basis of 7.1 cents per 10U pounds
