Emierant TICKET Commission.

1t remains to be seen whether the trans
continental lines will obey the order of
Chairman Walker. of the Western Traffic
Association. limiting commissions on emil
grant tickets to SO from Chicago and 81
from the Missouri river to California. Some
of them make no attempt to conceal their
dissatisfaction, N declare that if the or
der be obeyed it will shut them out of Cas-
tie Garden entirely, and give all the bust
ness to lines outside of the association.
This they admit must be avoided to some
extent, or their Eastern connections will
enter into some arrangement to divide the
business SO that they can get q share of 1t.
The order is one that puts the strength of
the association and the power of the COM
misSiODers to o severe test.

MEETING OF BIG GUNS.

jay Gould and Other Magnates to Consider
the Free-Pass Nuisance.
The indications are that there will be O
notable gathering of railroad men in Chi
cago next Tuesday. the movement to re-
strict the issuing of free transportation has
been taken up by the highest officers of
the roads. instead of leaving the
settlement question to their pas
senger agents. They have decided
to come together themselves and
endeavor to adopt an agreement that will
practically abolish the pass system. A call
for the meeting has been issued. 1t is
signed by Presidents Marvin Hughitt, of the
Chicago d Northwestern; Roswell Miller.
of the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul;
Vice-president j. G. McMullin. Of
ris. of the Burlington. and yelling. of the
Illinois Central. The call has been sent
under cover to the presidents or managing
officers of ali the large railroad companies
in the United states, several OF whom
have already signlied their intention of
being present. There is reason to believe
that Jay Gould, Chauncey NJ; De
b. Roberts. NJ. Z. Ingalls, and
many others of similar rank will respond
to the call. Although tine Western roads
took the lead in this matter, the Eastern
lines have Joined heartily in the movement.
The meeting is to be under the auspices OF
the Western Traffic Association. and the
object Is to limit the issuance of passes
to such an extent that they can only be
given in exchange for advertising Q, or serv-
ices actually rendered. As railroad officers
seem to be unanimously of the opinion that
the pass system has become q great nui-
sance. there is little doubt that the meet
ing will be a harmonious one, and that it
will result in an lron-clad agreement.
