be able to make the trip owing TO the
! uncertainty about railroad fares. Mr..
Whitmore writes to Secretary Gunner
as follows:
Letters from California indicate an
indisposition on the part of the South
ern Pacific to give any concessions
whatever. Cannot you bring some
pressure to bear on this railroad to
induce it to extend the usual conces-
sions to our delegates from that part
of the country"

Northern Passenger association, has
written to the secretary from Chicago
