IN A SAD TANGLE.
Contention Over the Point of Hold
ing Letter Carriers Convention.


Chicago. H.. Angus. 30.-The Western
roads have got into sad tangle over rates
from this city to San Francisco on ac-
count of the letter carriers convention,
which was TO have been held there next
month. Last Saturday all the lines cut
the round trip to $72.50 and today the
Rock Island announced 1t would put on
a round trip rate OF $3.50.
The letter carriers are also in fight
over the location of their gathering. The
excursionists contend that the convention
shall be held in San Francisco as original
ly planned while the president of the
association says 1t shall convene in Chi
cage.
Late today the postmaster general tele-
graphed Superintendent OF Railway Mail
v. c. Ferry that the convention must be
held here. The Rock Island says 1t re-
duced it's rates at the suggestion OF the
Southern Pacific, but IL the convention
takes place In Chicago 1t will cancel the
San Francisco rate.
