RAILROAD RATES TO DETROIT CON
VENTION.

RAlLKOAD RATES TO DETROIT CON
vENTION.
Below is given all the information con-
corning railroad rates received up to time
of going to press:
One Fare Territory.
A one-fare half-fare) rate has been
granted for Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and
that portion of Illinois lying south of a
line drawn from Chicago to St. Louis Gn-
Guiding these cities) and those portions of
Pennsylvania and New York lying west
of line drawn from Buffalo to Pittsburg,
through Salamanca, and in Canada all
points west of and including Toronto, and
on and south of the Grand Trunk Railway
between Toronto and Sarnia, Opposite
Port Huron, Mich.l
One and One-Third Fare Territory.
For all of the region south and east of
the one-fare territory rate of one and
one-third fare on the certificate plan has
been granted. The region lying west and
southwest of the one-fare territory will
doubtless concede the one and one-third
fare, though no final word has been re-
ceived from the Passenger Associations
covering that region.
Instructions to Delegates in One and One
Third Fare Territory.
Tickets going will be sold from and in
Guiding Friday, July End, to and including
Thursday, July Sth. Returning, tickets
will be sold to holders of certificates not
later than Friday, July 10th. A dele
gate in one and one-third fare territory
will pay full fare to Detroit and take
certificate from the ticket agent certifying
to that fact. At the Convention this GER
tificate must be signed by the Secretary
of the National Y. P. c. U. (or his au-
thorized agent) and a representative
of the railroad, and upon the presenta-
tion of this, within the time limit above
mentioned, the holder is entitled to a
ticket to his starting point at one-tnird of
the regular frst-class fare to that place.
Very Important.
Certificates are not kept at all stations
If, however, the ticket agent at local
station is not supplied with certificates
and through tickets to place of meeting,
he can inform the delegates of the nearest
important station where they can be OBJ
tanned. In such a case the delegate should
purchase local ticket to such station and
there take up his certificate and through
ticket to place of meeting. Delegates and
others availing themselves of this reduc-
tion in fare must present themselves at
the ticket offices for certificates and tick
cts thirty minutes before departure of
trains. 1t would be well to call on the
ticket agent at once and ascertain if he
has supply of certificates on hand, and
if he has not, request him to get supply
Immediately.
The Chicago Unions are planning to go
to the Convention by special train over
the "Wabash," and an effort is being
made to bring the western delegations to-
gether at Chicago, so that they and the
Chicagoans can go on from there by same
train.
Northeastern Ohio will rally at Cleve-
land and go by boat from that point.
The Indiana Route.
We have chosen the Wabash as our
route from Indiana to Detroit. Those 60
| ing from Indianapolis will take the Big
| Four route to North Manchester. The
| train leaves Union Station about $50 A. M.
| Those going from Oaklandon, McCords,
Pendleton and Anderson will take same
train, and will have about an hours wait
| at Manchester. Those from the west part
| of the State will take Wabash train at
nearest points The train leaves Lafayette
| about $40 A. NJ.
| Muncie, Dublin and Mt. Carmel and
other Unions in the east part of the State
will go to Auburn Junction, via Lake Erie
and Western to FIT. Wayne, thence over the
Lake Shore to Auburn Junction, train
arrives at FIT. Wayne IL 40 A. NJ, and Lake
Shore train leaves for the North min
utes thereafter arriving at the Junction
in time for the Wabash train about P. NJ.
Huntington Union will take Wabash train
at La Otta The distance from Indianap-
| oils is 273 miles, from Muncie PIP miles.
| All going can easily compute the cost for
round trip by multiplying distance by 3.
| Train on Lake Erie road leaves Corners
! vile 6:25 A. NJ. Let every Union in Indi-
ana send full representation and all go
by this route Wednesday, July 9TH, arriv-
| ing in Detroit 5;45 A. NJ. See your near
est railroad agent at once and see that he
has plenty of tickets issued by the Central
| Traffic Association for this meeting. Do
| not be put off with promises but know
that your tickets will be on hand in due
time. Let every body go that can. We
had not a single representative to Jersey
City from Indiana in '96, but we want to
go hundred strong to Detroit. Every
body get ready to move.
