Montana Goes Against TheM.
Helena, Mont, Special, March IL
To-day Gov. Richards signed the bill
making it alnlawful for a scalper to sell
for any consideration the whole or part
of any ticket on railroad or steamboat
line, whether the line be operated within
or without the state. The punishment is
a fine of $500 and one years imprison-
ment. The bill makes it the duty OF
every railroad or steamboat line to pro-
vide for the redemption of the whole or
any coupon of any ticket sold by author
lied agent which the purchaser has not
used at a rate equal to the difference be-
tween the price of the whole ticket and
the cost of q ticket between the points
for which the used portion of the ticket
was actually used before such ticket
shall have expired. This bill was passed
by the last legislature against the protest
of almost all labor organizations in the
state, and despite the fact that the COM
mittee of the house reported it of doubt
full constitutionality and special in char
acter. Scalpcrs have declared that they
will go right ON doing business, and are
confident the courts will declare the law
unconstitutional.
