COME EAST ~ AlJJJSl
Commissioner John n. Abbott, OF the Western
Passenger Association, arrived in this city on Sun
day night. The principal object Of his visit Is TO
make arrangements for final adjustment of the

fishing uniform passenger rates, and heal up the breach
caused by the action of tho Chicago and Alton road
in demanding from the Western Passenger Association
that It's agents be allowed to pay commission Of
30 TO outside ticket agents. while the other roads
limit their commissions to 81 so Mr.. Abbott Is In
favor Of granting the Chicago and Alton an equal
basis Of ckct representation with the other roads,
and wants harmony restored between that road and
the ines composing the Trunk Lines and Central
Traffic Associations.
Chairman Pierson, Of the Trunk Lines Passenger
Association, sad yesterday, referring to the CORE

can be done in this matter until after the Western
Passenger Assoc alton officials and those Of the
Central Traffic Association come to some arrangement
