WOULD NOT BUY THE BOOKS.
why the interchangeable Mileage
Scheme Fell Through.

Scheme Fell Through.
The Western lines are pleased be-
yend measure that the attempt of the
Central Passenger association to make
success of 5,000-mile interchangeable
mileage books has proven a failure.
Tor 1t means that the Western associ-
alton will not be compelled to do some
thlng which 1T has long fought against
doing, viz, issue the 5,000-mile books
The attempt by the Central as
ISOLATION to issue the books has proved
miserable failure. 1t is likely the
Central association is very glad of it,
for they were virtually teased into the
issuance OF the books by the travelling
men. To appease the cIamorers, the
Central association placed the book on
sale. 1t required the engagement of a.
large corps of additional clerks, heavy
printing bills, and other expenses The
books were expected to go like hot
cakes in view of the demand which had
been made for their issuance. But
twelve books were sold in the entire
Central association territory, which
is twice the size of the Western aSsoci-
alton territory. The revenue in the II
days the books were on sale were less
than One-fourth of the expense of put
ting the scheme into operation. So the
sale was stopped and the deal was de-
clared off. The railroads are glad.
They never wanted to sell the books
They claim that the travelling men
and houses which employ them have
been exceedingly unreasonable in their
demands. The railroads claim to have
conceded every point, but even on top
OF that, the travelling men demand a
uniform rate of cents a mile and are
imrortuning the legislatures Of the
West to pass laws to that effect.
In the present state of business the
railroads hot ora i,,,-
posed upon. There have been years in
the past when the business accruing
from the carrying of travelling men and
commercial agents has amounted to
10 per cent Of the entire annual passen-
ger earnings, but that day has gone
by. at least for the present, and until
1t returns the railroads think the trav-
cling men should be contented with the
liberal concessions already made. A
passenger official Informed a reporter
for the G e yesterday, that the
passenger revenue at the present time
barely paid the expenses Of maintain
ing the passenger department, and
that to make any further reductions
would mean that the passenger depart
ment would cease to be self-sustaining
The commercial houses in the West
are not unit in favor of the 5,000-mile
book, and 1t has been a common mis-
take to suppose they have been asking
Tor the concession, unitedly. AS a
matter Of fact, it is we'll known that
| the st. Paul Jobbers' union within a
month officially protested against the
issuance of the book for various reas-
Ons. 1t is presumed that one of the
reasons was that if a 5,000-mile inter
changeable book was issued, Eastern
concerns would be enabled to invade
ST. Paul jobbing territory. Whatever
reason was advanced, the fact remains
that the jobbers of this territory did
not want the 5,000-mile book

OLEO BILL UP.
The Only Feature of Dull Session
of the House.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-After a
very dull day devoted to passing bills
Of minor Importance, the house plunged
into a warm controversy over a bill
to make oleomargarine and other i'm
itations of dairy products subject to
the laws of the state into which they
were transported. The author Of the
bill, Mr.. Gran, of Vermont, led the
fight for it and was opposed by the
Democrats and several Republicans,
chiefly that 1t would give the states
power to prohibit the use Of such pro-
ducts. The house got into a parlia-
nentary struggle over the measure on
account Of the determination of Mr.
Cannon Qlls) to secure more time for
it's consideration and adjourned,
leaving 1t unfinished.
