Ing So far from showing any signs OF
dlminutlon, 1t appears 10 be steadily en-
largiug in scope and volume. II is imposM-
bic to give any reliable estimate of the
number Of persons who take advantage OF
this means of procuring unlawful Transport
tation. but 1t Ia evident that considerable
percentage OF railroad passenger travel ~
accomplished through the medium OF tick
OTIS bought ut reduced ratcs of ao-callod
brokers.
I'm every city and In many of the smaller
towns offices ara 10 be found whose pro-
prictors sell railroad tickets TO very many
points at less than the published tariffs.
Tho streets are placarded with allurlng ad
Nertiscmcnts. incoming and outgoing tray
clors are openly solicited, while in hotels
and other public plac - and not iniro-
quontly In regular railroad stations. the
runners and agents of these clandcstlnc
dealers invoke participation In transporta-
ton bargains, which upon their face-to
give them no harsher term-arc an obvious
evasion OF the law
Tho disregard of law TO which we thus
referred has apparently continued during
tho current year and assumed still greater
and more serious proportions. This He
climate traffic has become positive scan
dal, and decisive measures should be taken
10 put an end to these Illegal transactions
The remedy for this evil is easily found. a
single enactment would DO sufficient. In
our judgment, To prevent these abuses and
oifeclually check this species Of Misconduct
Wo therefore recommend that II be made
a penal olfense for any person to engage In
tho busiucss OF selling interstate passenger
tickets unless he Ia an authorized agent OF
tho carrier duly constituted such by writ
ten appointment. and that every such per-
son DO required under appropriate penalty
TO expose In his place of business certiii-
cate of his authority.
I'VE also call attention to the fact that
extensive frauds upon the public are nc
compished by tho printing and sale Of
counterfeit tickets. II has come 10 our
knowledge that hundreds OF innocent per-
sons have been victimized by the purchase
OF spurious tickets from those whose lden-
tity could not be clearly established after
tho fraud was discovered. The actual
money loss thus resulting to unsuspectIng
travellers amounts To a considerable sum-
while tho distress and annoyance to which
innocent and often needy persons have
been subjected because they have been in
duocd to purchase these sham tickets can
be easier imagined than described. 1t is a
defect in the Federal statutes that the
counterfeitlng OF railroad tickets is not
made criminal offcnse, and We earnestly
recommend tho correction OF this defect
by an appropriate enactment" Ia ,nant
