The laht on through passenger rates from
Kansas City to Eastern seaboard points still
continues, and will continue until tho Eastcrn
trunk line managers pursuc different policy
from whit they do now, The trunls lines are
charged by Western roeN1s for all the troubles
regarding the Kansas City passenger rates.
While they heye resolved time and again tint
no moro commissions shall bo patd for tho enle
Of tickets from Western points, they them
selves, through their agents, continue that
practice from, Kansas City, and thus de1norallzo
the rates not only from that point, but from oil
other points, The agonta Of the New York

rates, no matter, what action tic TFnnk

ststency Of tbs trunk lines In regard
to this matter deserves special mention. In

no commissions arc paid by them, an4 every
