the Chicago railroads advance eastbound passenger
rates the basis OF S1S so to and
$50 so TO Boston. At the offices Of the tcketbrokers,
who are usually quickly advised OF any contemplated
change rates. nothing was known OF the programme
Of higher rates Railroad men doubt whether any such
ratesns are alleged to have been agreed upon can be
maintained unless the roads frame agreement for
pool including penalties for infraction Of the agree
ment. 1t also a serious question whether the st.
Louis lines will make corresponding advance from the
southwest, without which the opportunities for scalp
ing would be 80 great as TO demoraze tho schedule
from Chicago. For long time the st. Louis roads were
extremely conservative in following the Chicago cuts IN
rates but recently they have exhibited determination
To protect fully their business against the chicago
routes both on freight and passenger business Well
informed railroad disposed to scout tho idea
that the low existing be advanced without
thorough reorganization OF the broken agreements be-
tween the warning companies.
