Two OF the most important questions TO
come before the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION al its special meeting in Chica-
go relates to the Issuance OF Tree trans
rsortatlcn 10 land agents, etc, ana 10 bet
ter contro. OF advertising arrangements
In regard TO the former subject the COM
gnittee appointed at the July meeting TO
make a report recommends that for 1881
transportation issued 10 land and emigra-
ton agents be restricted TO the smallest
number OF persons possible. only to those
devoting their whole time to land and
emigration work and the locating or actual
settlers on land in the West, Northwest,
South and Southwest, and that sucn
transportation be not issued for q longer
period than three months. 20 be renewed
only IL the work of the agents has been
satisfactory.
The other matter considered that was
Of more than passing importance was in
relation to advertising A committee was
appointed which reported TO Chairman
Caid weil. The committee recommended
that railway advertising IN publications
issued by organized societies. associar
lions. commercial bodies. trade organiza-
lions. theatrical. amusement or baseball
companies. ard other similar bodies. or
programmes, prospectuses. etc, or display
advertising mediums, he cut off after jan
uary / The committee believes that the
class OF advertising. neither pad for IN
cash, or part in cash and part IN trans
poris;ion. has been equivalent TO unau-
thnrized reductions OF agreed rates and
has brought about undue preferential con-
troll OF business. The committee. therefore
recommend that no member OF the West
ern Passenger Association shall advertise
In any such publication after the date
named. and after that time advertising
shall be confined to regularly published
standard newspapers and periodicals OF
general circulation. published at regular
Intervals. In contracting for advertising
in such publications II shall be stipulated
that transportation issued In full or In part
payment shall be confined TO bona nde
propr'etors. editors. officers. employees ard
attaches. or the members Of their ,mme6i-
ate families
