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
line drawn from Chicago to St. Louis lin
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.)
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 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 Saturday, July 18th. 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
titicate must be signed by the Secretary
of the National Y. P. c. U. Tor his au-
thorized agent) and 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 third of
the regular irst-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 CO.
ing from Indianapolis will take the Big
Four route to North Manchester. The
train leaves Union Station about $3.50 A. NJ.
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 S 40 A. NJ.
Muncie, Dublin and Mt Carmel and
other Unions in the east part of the State
| and Western to FIT. Wayne, thence over the
Lake Shore to Auburn Junction, train
arrives at FIT. Wayne II :40A. NJ. and Lake
Shore train leaves for the North 5 min
utes thereafter arriving at the Junction
in time for the Wabash train about l p. NJ.
Huntington Union will take Wabash train
at La Otta. The distance from Indianap-
oils is 273 miles, from Muncie 2l2 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 a full representation and all 60
by this route Wednesday, July 9TH, arriv-
ing in Detroit 5:45 A. NJ. See your near
