SELLING ALTON TICKETS
The Baltimore & Ohio Resumes Rela-
tiOnS with the LODg.BOycOtted Road.
Other Eastern Lines Will Do Likewise at Once
Quarrel Over Immigrant Business
Jay GOuIds Request Unhesded.

The Baltimore 81 Ohio resumed passen-
ger relations with the Chicago & Alton
road yesterday. 1t was the first of the
Eastern lines to begin selling Alton tickets
after the presidents. at their meeting in
New YORK, adopted resolutions declaring
the boycott q failure and permitting the
boycotting roads TO abandon it. The
prompt action of the Baltimore & Ohio IN
this matter is regarded as confirmation OF
the general opinion that the management
of that company has never been in
sympathy with the boycott and only went
into the trunk-line agreement for the sake
of harmony. 1t is understood that ali the
roads, except the Vanderbilt and Penn
syIvania sy stems. have given notice that
they will az once begin selling and honor
ever. some of them are suggesting new
schemes for abolishing passenger commits
sions in Eastern territory.
No Special Meeting VIII Be Called.
Yesterday Roswell Miller. president of
the advisory board of the Western Traffic
Association. sent the following letter to
Jay Gould, president of the Missouri Pa
citic:
Dear Sir-I beg 70 acknowledge the receipt
of the request OF your company that shall con-
vene meeting OF the advisory board, 70 con-
sider and dispose OF appeals in the matter OF
violations of the agreement OF said association.
Except at the request of three members the
president is at liberty TO convene special meet
Ing only when In his Judgment IL becomes neces-
sary. The matters for which you desire a special
meeting were before the board at its meeting
last week and he board adjourned with the
understanding that they were disposed of until
the next regular meeting. 1t is very doubtful If
O quorum can be had for a special meeting, and
ful To the association. believe that the men,
bers OF the advisory board accord with you In the
view that these cases should not be delayed un-
duly, and II there shall be no quorum at the next
regular meeting should consider 1t my duty TO
Immediately call special meeting at such time
and place as likely to secure quorum. In view
OF these considerations, trust you will not in
sist upon special meeting. With patience in
this matter am sure that the association viii be
much strengthened By the outcome.
To this Mr.. Gould replied as follows:
Dear 6r-I beg to acknowledge the receipt Of
your favor OF this date. This company as you
know. made no charges against any other at the
recent meeting or the advisory board, but urged
prompt hearing or tie cases presented by the
commissioners. II was only 10 secure this that
the resolutions recently adopted by our board
were passed and transmitted TO you. This CON-
pany still feels that no undue delay should oc-
eur In bringing these and similar to q
prompt hearing ard decision. not only in the in
terest or the strength and stability OF the
citation, but IN justice TO the Missouri Pacific
company. which has suffered great loss in dis
the desire of the association recognize, how
ever. the force OF the objections 10 a special
meeting, as stated by You, and acquiesce in
ment that IL there shall be no quorum at the
next regular meeting OF the advisory board you

Goddard's Scheme Not o Success.
Western roads are complaining that the
Trunk-hne Association is not fulfilling
its promises. and complaints are piHng in
on Chairman Goddard on that account 1t
Is alleged that the immigrant situation was
misrepresented to the Western lines by the
trunk-hne commissioners in order to allow
the trunk lines to route ell the business of
the immigrant clearing house as 1t saw fit.
Commissioner Goddard. through Leslie
Farmer. chairman of the passenger depart
mens of the trunk lines. notified all West
ern roads that on and after Jan. certain
trunk line. which is notorious as q rate dis
turber. would cease it's evil practlces, and
its New York agent would be amenable to
1ts business correctly. The trunk lines
proposed to keep outside agents out of the
way and divide the business among the
Western roads as, in their judgment. was
fair TO all. Three weeks have passed. and
this disturbing trunk line continues its old
practice of taking the lions share of the
business. and as a result some of the West
ern roads are getting the cream of this
business, while others that agree TO let the
Trunk-line Association route the business
are getting left.
