REAUTIES OF TIE POOL-SYSTEM, Apeciat Dispatch to Tha Tribune, New Yonk, Aug. 23.—J. II. Rutter, General Traftic Manager of the New York Central Rail- mad, belug interviewed by s Times reporter, sald: “The adoption of pools for east and west-bound fretahts will prove beneficial to shippers and the railrosd companies aitke. It will stop that undercutting which has been the rmain canse of embarrassmnent to both shippers and rafironds. It will fix rates firmly and arbitracily so that cvery shipper will know just how nuch he will to nay for tho traneportatitm of his goods, and at the same time be assnred that none of his competitors can ship cheaper than he, However great their business. ‘This will give merchants a stabie basia for the computation of their ox- pensee. Hitherto shippers have been in & fog with respect to thelr knowledge of the freight rotes pald by each other, aud lave been conttnually pressing the rallroads for rates better than or cqual to those they alleged their competitors obtalned through such urging on thelr part the aystem of andercutting which has proved so hurtful to them was begun aod malntalned. Whila the railroad companies’ rates were forced down fo thie Jowest notch, the business of merchants was subjected to yariations. Shippers could never telt how they stood. Therae was no fair compo- titlon, oud cach shipper controled his market fust as long ns ho had the lowest apeclal [reight rate. ‘The poos will compose the business-marts to o certain extent, Tho rafiroads will be benetited theough the DBxing of rates which will enable thew ta do busiuess witheat loss. £t will not do to ralse rates to exorbitant fignres, and thero 18 no tntentlon to do that. Merchants have be- come used to low charges, and raliroads have Iearned to be economical through undereutting. It 18 only a short time since, it was not thought too much to charge 70 cenis per hundred for wheat from Chicago, but herealter the New York Central will be Jucky to procure 45 cents. Buat it u fieee liko this s Axed by the pool it will be adhered to, apd no shipper eatt procure a luwer rate, Mereln consists thio ndvantage of thy pooling system to the ralironds, They will ~ ecttle uvon the lowsst rates they can live upon, and wiil ot deport from them. Undercuiting has been the cause of the hankruptey ol many rajiroads in tis country, It was remarkable in the &ara- toga Couterence, the number of rallroads, pur- tivularly those of the West nnd Bouthwest, rep- resented by Recclvers. Undercatting and fool- {sh rivalry drove these roads tnto tinancial em- barrassment,” * Mr. Rutter could not indicate the time when the Eost and West-bound _frelht-nool will Le put futo opecatiou. Thera nced be wo hurry, for at tho present thne there I8 1o undercutting golng on, cvery railroad having about all the business it can do. Every member ot the Committes has undoubt- cdly thought about the matter carcfully, mld orubably each of them bod b plan to offer. llo liad one, but i some other member should pre- sont one hetter algested ho would not presens his. Mr. Rutter warmly cotnmended the abolitlon of tho system of wvaying com- missions to sgents for the sl of passeager tickets. Abuses have grown up under the system, and have been the motive of tlic undercutting of passcnger-rates from tine totine. The systemgrew out of tho unwilling- ness of the ratiroad comuanies to hire expensive offices fn the large_vities for the occupaney of salaried ngents. The greateat abuse, however, wos tho fact that thoagents nccepted cominls- slons from competing roads, end by urging the salc of passazes over the road that nllowed them the highest comintssfon provoked hoatill- tles among the corpurations. Bpeakine of the money which will bo turned into the treasurics of the railroads by the abolition of aZents and cotminission, Mr. Ruttersald the passenger-rates wiil not be reduced on that account. In this Stute tho rallrosds ore compelled to carry pusseugers for two_ cepts a hrad per mile, and_ the publle had wo mwore right to claim o reduction ot fares, now thot the reventes of the railroads are to be increascd by the saviog of conunlsson, than It Dad when, the prico of ofl golng down, the companies (d not bave to pay bigh for greas- lug the wacols of their cars, BARATOGA.
