IDENTIFICATION ON TRAINS.
The Western Railroads VIII Modify

JoDnerS and travelling men have ex-
pressed such universal dissatisfaction
with the espionage exhibited by conduct
ors in handling mileage books that the
Western Passenger Association will seek
TO modify The requirements Of idenfifca-
ton on trans. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press A special meeting OF the assoc!a-
ton will occur November 10. largely TO
consider the mileage book question. at
present one of the most important before

The strict, almost arbitrary examna-
ton of mileage books on trains is a part
OF the new mileage agreement which has
proved obnoxious TO all reputable passen-
gers. for In complying with their instruc-
tons TO slne letter. conductors assume a
passenger to be dishonest on presenting

Passenger men in 81. Paul and else

commented favorahly upon a new form OF

would remove the difficulty entirely and
subserye the interests OF the mileage
agreement better than score of resoiu-
tons and private notices TO tranmen
This book was recently prepared by the
city ticket agent of the Milwaukee in CHI
