Were the maintenance of this section accom- panied by any tangible advantages to the business world, to compensate for its disturbing and needlessly restrictive functions, I could watch with less misgiving what devel- opments might come. On tlie contrar)-, however, I feel bound to say that its theory is mischievous, the expression of its intent obscure, and its practical tendency is to im- pede American railroads in their efforts to retain American traffic as against their Canadian rivals. Furt...her than this, it checks railway enterprise in reaching out for new mar- kets in the interest of commerce, a check in itself hurtful as much to the public as to the railroads. The Law Should Authorize Railroad Co-operatiox. There is another matter of great importance regarding which I would suggest a change, if I should be asked for a further method of improving the position of American railroads. The fifth section of the Interstate Commerce Law provides : "That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier " subject to the provisions of this act to enter into any " contract, agreement or combination with any other com- " mon carrier or carriers for the pooling of freights of " different and competing railroads, or to divide between " them the aggregate or net proceeds of the earnings of "such railroads, or any portion thereof" Kxperience has shown that, when the word ''pool" was introduced into railroad parlance, a great mistake was made; for the public, careless of distinctions in a subject with which they are but slightly acquainted, at once sur- mised that a railway pool had some sort of affinity with a pool in stocks or a pool on a race track, wherein m\slcry, 40 chance and deceit were to be expected and were usual accessories.
