There are breakers ahead for the pass
agreement recently adopted by general
managers Of the western roads, and the
enforcement Of which was entrusted 10
Chairman NIidgley of the Western
Freight Association. 1t was the tough
est job MIR. Midgley ever undertook. lie
devoted nearly all his time 10 the work,
but it looks now as if all his efforts had
been In vain. Ever since the agreement
to restrict the issue Of free transportation
went into effect rumors have been n
circulation that some Of the roads were
Issuing passes unfortunately and were
paying no attention TO the agreement.
About week ago the managers held
meeting to investigate the charges, but
everybody declared that there was no
truth In them Consequently no action
was taken. This whitewashing process
however, rs not to the liking OF the mau
ayers OF the Santa le. They claini 10
have evidence that one OF the roads run
ming through from Chicago to the Mis-,
souri, river and thence TO the Rocky
Mountains had been issuing passes righi
and left without consent from Chairman
Midlley: that the Southern Pacific
which IL not u party TO the agreement,
is inJuring the Santa Fe nj all points
where they come In competition by issu.
ing free passes to shippers; that the Den
yer and Rio Grande, which declined to
become party to the agreement had
covered the whole state Of Colorado with
passes, and thus secured an advantage
over the Santa Fe. The latter therefore
appears to have come to the conclusion
that 1t cannot stand ny against the pres
sure any longer.
