TROUBLE OYER MILEAGE TICKETS.
The mileage ticket question is now
causing the passenger traffic officials
of the western roads to lose consider
able sleep. In addition to the threat
of the Alton road to put a 2 cent
per mile rate on 1, 900 mile tickets
over its entire system between Chicago
aud Kansas City It was reported yes
terday that the Missouri Pacific was
applying its II cent rate on 1000
mile tickets to all points in
Colorado and Utah. According 10
the agreement on mileage tickets at 2
cents per mile rate on 1000 mile
tickets with a rebate shall apply to
all points east of the Missouri river
and q cent rate shall apply on all
l 900 mile tickets east of the eastern
Colorado state line. West of this
line the agreed rate is 3 cents per
mile. The Missouri Pacific bases its
right to apply these tickets over its
entire system on a technical
point in the association
rates. The agreement In
prescribing the rule which governs
the sale of these tickets specifies
where they shall be sold and does not
say anything about where they shsll
be honored. The Missouri Pacific
claims that it can honor a 2! cent
ticket wheresoever it chooses so long
as it is sold in the territory prescribed
by the agreement.
It is expected that all other lines
will, in self defense, adopt the same
Interpretation of the agreement until

ANNIYERSARY DAY.

Yesterday, March z, was the ami
versary of the two most gigantic
strikes that ever were inaugurated.
March z, 1885, and March z, 1856
the shop men of the Pacific railroad,
extending through four states, ceased
10 labor at the blowing of the shop
whistle. Subsequently they stopped
all traffic but the running of passen-
ger trains, and gave untold trouble to
every one who would not endorse their
revolutionary methods. Many of the
leaders of the movement are now wan
derers upon the earth, hated and de-
spised wherever their records are
known.
1t is very probable that Sedalia will
never again be disgraced by such
scenes as were enacted during those
two conflicts.
That is possibly why the labor ele-
mept in the legislature is opposing the
