Railroads and trusts.-The subject of railroads as a part of the trust question is considered in Baker's "Monopolies and the people;" Bolen's "The plain facts as to the trusts;" Bonham's "Railway secrecy and trusts;" Cloud's "Monopolies and the people;" Cook's "The corporation problem;" Hardesty's "The mother of trusts;" and Moody's "The truth about the trusts."

Railroad combinations and pooling.-A detailed study is afforded by Langstroth and Stilz's "Railway co-operation" which is provided with a bibliography.

The writings of Albert Fink are held in high esteem among writers on railroad questions. They afford much material on the subject of combination from the standpoint of a railroad expert. Among them there are to be noted, his "Argument before the Committee of commerce of the House of Representatives," January, 1880; the "Argument before the Committee of commerce of the Senate," February, 1879; the "Argument before the Committee on commerce of the United States House of Representatives," March, 1882; "Cost of railroad transportation;" "An investigation into the cost of transportation on American railroads, with deductions for its cheapening;" "Investigation into the cost of passenger traffic on American railroads;" "The legislative regulation of railroads;" "Regulation of interstate commerce by Congress;" "Report upon the adjustment of railroad transportation rates to the seaboard." The last named writing by Mr. Fink is not in the Library of Congress but is to be found in the Library of the Interstate Commerce Commission, where are also to be found his "Argument before the Committee on commerce of the United States House of Representatives," January, 1884; "Relative cost of carload and less than carload shipments and its bearing upon freight classification," Chicago, 1889; and "Testimony before the Senate committee on labor and education," September 17, 1883.

Other discussions of combinations and pooling are to be found in: Alexander's "Railroad consolidation," and "Railway practice;" Blanchard's "Argument before the Committee on commerce of the House of Representatives in opposition to the pending bill for the regulation of interstate commerce," and his "Shall railroad pooling be permitted?" Cooley's "The interstate commerce act-Pooling and combinations which affect its operation," "Popular and legal view of traffic pooling," "The railway problem defined;" Hadley's "The prohibition of railroad pools;" Hopkins's "Railroad combinations and discriminations;" Huntington's "A plea for railway consolidation;" Kenna's "Railway consolidation;" Knapp's "Equality of rights in transportation agencies," "Government regulation of railroad rates," "Railroad pooling," "Some observations on railroad pooling;" Newcomb's "The concentration of railway control," "The failure of legislation to enforce railway competition," "The necessity of limiting
