Wheelmen are becoming exercised

believed that they will within the present

In the present regulation under which

hereafter demand a specified sum for all
machines SO carried
The lines reported as having decided
to enter into the agreement are: Lake
Shore, Pennsylvania, Michigan Central.
Grand Trunk, Grand Haven and Mil
wsukse, Chicago and West Michigan,
Detroit. Lansing and Northern, and
Ann Arbor and North Michigan. The
matter will be taken up by ths L A. w.
National Transportation Commi ttee, and
every effort will be made to secure a
reconsideration Of the action, or, at
least, to induce other roads not to follow
The example set by the roads named
Several years ago similar action wss
taken By majority Of the leading roads,
but they eventually receded from the
position taken on account Of the pressure
brought to bear by the wheelmen The
roads which did not exact a charge
were, of course, patronized by
riders when accompanied by wheels in
preference TO their competitors, but in
other ways i a w. members aud un-
attached cyclers endeavored to have the
Objectionable rules rescinded.
