A General Passenger Rate War Threat
cned.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 14th.-The Trans
continental Railroad Pool has made siren
uous efforts to break up the third-clasS
excursion business but il seems that they
are unable to cope with the matter. The
Eastern agents have agreed to stand in, but
the trouble seems to be with one of the
lines III the Transcontinental Association.
The rock upon which the Passenger AsSo-
citation will go to pieces is an excursion
numbering some sixty people that will
leave San Jose tomorrow over the Central
and Union Pacific the Rock Island and
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroads. 1t dawned upon the passenger
men early this morning that the party
was bound to 20. and one final and futile
effort was made to stop it. Application
was made to the agent ami Auditor Cannon,
of the TranscOninentai Association, To en-
force the rule, and order the tickets of the
offending agents road turned TO the wall.
This was not done, however, and the eX
cursion will in all probability leave to-mor-
row If it does. il is positively known
that no less than four of the Eastern agents
will withdraw from the Pacific Coast Asso-
citation, and such action will break it up.
! This will result i'll a general rate war and
the ticket offices will be very lively.
