CHICAGO. Dec 15.-The Western lines have be.
gun the most determined effort in their history
to do away with tho exorbitant commissions
on immigrant business. During the past five
years there has been very little revenue 10

migrant agent has all along taken the larger
part Of the gross rate as his commission nnd
OF late this pnrt has increased to two.thirds

general tpassenger agents to 60 to New YORK

equality between the connecting lines. No al,
