RATE WAR MAY ENsUE.
The Union Pacific Seems to be Look
ing for a Fight


Chicago. June 9-The Union Pacific
has given notice that it intends to ig-
more the action Of the other trans
continental and western roads in de-
chnfng to make a reduced rate for the
Utah school teachers who are anxious
to come east to spend the vacation.
1t win take Independent action in the
matter and has announced that it will
make a one fare for the round trip for
the teachers, selling the tickets on June
II and is, the tickets to have final re-
turn limits to September 8.
If the reported action of the Union
Pacific is not a bluff it viii mean the
disruption of the Western Passenger
association. AS a member of the assoc
citation the Union Pacific cannot make
an Independent reduced rate. and to
make the rate must necessarily with
draw. To protect themselves all other
roads will be compelled TO make the
same rate.
The Utah teachers are almost entire

cation at their home in the east, re-
turning to Utah in the fail. 1t was
thought by the association that the
number was not sufficient to justify q
