ehangcnble mileage ticket agreement which
is to so into effect September 1. The
Monon had already signed this agreement.
and Its withdrawal at this time casts
gloom over the other lines in the compact.
The Monon's action is caused by tho failure
of the Big Four to lengthen i,s running
time between this city and Cincinnati.
Several months ago the Monon reduced its
Chicago Cincinnati passenger time to
eight hours. and the schedule was mot
by the Big Four. Tho fast time has been
non winner and too expensive an adj
vertisement for the Monon, while the Big
Four. backed by the Vanderbilts. has been
in a position 10 stand the pressure. Re-
Gently the Monon asked the Big Four to
agree TO lengthen out the time. The Big
Four refused and the Monon In revenge.
now withdraws from the interchangeable
ticket compact
With the Monon, Erie and Glover Leaf
out OF the latter agreement, the inter-
changeable mileage ticl1ets TO be issued by
the other lines will have n hard row 10

by the scalpers In its fight. The inter
