The local passenger agreement between
the roads running from st. Paul to Chica-
go, is dead and the roads have fallen back
on the general manager agreement which
merely fixes the rates and leaves each road
at liberty to pay certain commissions to
scalpers for selling tickets. The agents
had final meeting yesterday at which
Mr. Dixon, of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, Mr.. Boyd, of the Albert Lea.
and Mr.. Teasdale, of the Royal
Route were present, when the formal
breaking up of the agreement was an
nouncsa. The officials of all the roa6s
assert tiih$ there will be no cutting of rates
and in view OF the general managers
agreement they will undoubtedly refrain
from open cutting of rates. There is a
feeling, however, of suspicion that rates
will be cut.
