In Curcaco April 7 a secret meeting of Western Trunk Line Association managers discussed harmonizing differences with the Burlington road. A pool between the two groups appears probable as plans progress. Burlington official Potter allegedly halted shipper passes to curb competition. Also, trunk lines agreed to unlimited fare travel for delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions in Chicago from principal points in trunk line territory.
