Fav"rabiy Reported to the House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The bill re-
ported to the house by the committee on
commerce proposing TO amend the inter
state commerce law so as To afford the
atrical and other companies travelling in
parties special rates on railroads, was
accompanied by an interesting argu-
ment IN its favor made by Mr.. Mason,
Of Illinois. This proposed amendment
not only permits special rates to theatre
Cal companies. but gives all classes Of
people and societies the same benefit
where seven or more persons travel to-
gether.
In regard to the probability of the
claim being made that the bill is wholly
Ia the interest Of the theatrical profess
sion. Mr.. Mason says it is not true. but.
If it were. there are many reasons why
that profession should he thus favored.
Under the increased rates of travel com
panies have had to be reduced In num-
bers. and many Of the smaller towns
abandoned, thus depriving many people
of the best entertainments.
