THE MILEAGE TICKET
NO LONGER TROUBLES THE
WESTERN LINES
The Situation in Eastern Freight
Rates Grows Steadily Worse.
Rate War Threatened

| CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE western lines
have overcome difficulty in the way Of
selling interchangeable mileage tickets
that at one time threatened to cause
them serious embarrassment. The mat
ter related to the selling of the tickets
at union ticket Offices After consider
able discussion 1t was decided that all
Of the tickets sold out Of union ticket
offices shall bear the name of some one
road which is member of the West
ern Passenger association, and this road
will account to the others for the amount
Of mileage used over their lines. 1t is
the opinion of Chairman Caldwell that
this arrangement will prevent any con-
fusion in the matter.
The situation in eastern freight rates
continues to grow worse instead of bet
ter, and there are no signs of improve
ment. Nearly all roads declare that
their competitors are cutting rates in
defiance of all agreements to the con-
trary, and from this situation to open re-
ductions is only q short distance. 1t is
said that the attention of the Joint Traf-
flc association will be called to the mat
ter and IL Ii does not bring up the worst
offenders with a round turn 1t is likely
that an open war in rates will be the
result.
The refusal of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf to become a member of
the Southwestern Passenger association
is considered by the majority of the Chi
cago lines practically to destroy all hope
of forming any association at all. The
Pittsburg and Gulf has announced that
lit had no intention Of being disturbel
of rates and that there will be nothing
in it's methods to prevent the other roads
from going on with their association
If they desire to do so.
Notwithstanding this declaration it is
not at all probable that the Chicago
lines which have strong interests in the
southwest will become members of the
southwestern association If the Pitts
burg and Gulf remains on the outside,
and this may mean that there will be
no association.
