CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Scalping Of Tickets Sold to Eastern
Points,
70 AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED
by the Members of the southvc.tcr,
Trnfhc Association Now in
Session I'm New York,

Yesterday The Post published telegram
from Chicago stating that an open de-
fiance had been hurled at the Joint Traffic
association by the Southwestern Passenger
association.
A short time ago the Traffic association.
In concert with the Central Passenger com.
mittee. notified the Southwestern roads
that they must discontinue the use of
tickets at short line rates from points ia
Arkansas. Texas and Mexico to points in
the East via Chicago Roads in the South
western association have refused to allow
the elimination Of these rates via Chicago
from the Texas rate sheet.
Several passenger agents were seen yes
terday and asked the direct cause of This
trouble. 1t is stated that similar order
was issued some time ago. but afterward
was withdrawn. On January the Older
was again given. Some roads have stopped
the sale of tickets as requested while
other lines will not agree to any such order
No change in the Texas rate sheet can be
made In compliance with such orders as
above mentioned, except by q unanimous
WIZ vi all lines comprising the Southwest
ern Passenger association. At the late
rate meeting in New Orleans this question
was brought up and tho Chicago, Rock
Island and Texas objected to the elimina-
tion OF this portion of the rate sheet This
line contends that the only outlet it has
Tor business TO points east of Chicago Is
through Chicago and they refuse to with
draw their tickets. or course the lines run
ming out of Chicago can refuse these tickets
or demand what they may consider Just
rate.
Inc whole cause of the trouble is to put
a stop to the scaiping of tickets which have
been sold to Eastern points via Kansas
City, Hannibal. st. Louis and other points
routed via Chicago
