Increased Passenger Fare Under

Joint Traffic Association Rules.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the recent argument before
the United States Supreme Court IN the
case against the Joint Traffic Association,
in which it is charged that the roads UNI
lawfully combine to keep up rates and pool
their traffic, I have lately been permitted
to see e. letter from the egent of one Ut
the association roads, which strongly tends
to support the belief that railway patrons
are subjected to higher charges than would
be imposed under open competitive condi-
tons. A man going from New York to
Chicago bought a ticket over one of the
direct lines at New York city office. and
reserved a lower berth. On applying at
the depot for the berth ticket he was re-
qCired to pay an additional fare OF -. He
paid the extra fare under protest, and at
terWard submitted the matter to the gen
eral passenger agent, who replied that the
charge was correctly made, and then Went
on to explain, as follows:
While we regret the necessity Tor I'm
posing this charge we are required to 90
arbitrators. to the appointment of which
this road was a perty 70 The other railroads
having lines between New York and Chi
cago claimed that on account OF our fast
time and superior service we should be re-
quired to charge extrpl fare on the train,
and the matter was submitted to the arbi-
traitors. with the result explained above.
You will see, therefore, that we are not at
liberty under our agreement to waive this
charge"
The railway conipanf was not willing 20
make the charge. but vas forced into this
DC sition by the association arbitra.ors. In
order to even things fup for the poorer

were thereby requfredqto pay y instead

Suburban Needs Outside the Fire
Limits.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Star keeps such a watchful eye on
the interests Of the taxpayers of the Dis
trict of Columbia that 1t has occurred to
me 1t may be able to answer the question
why the subcommittee of the Senate COM
mittee on appropriations In reporting the
District appropriation bill yesterday struck
out all provisions for electric lights in the
suburban section outside the fire limits,
and at the same time authorized the pres-
emit telephone monopoly to run its wires
through that entire section at its own sweet
Will. l am one of several hundred resi-
dents of the northwest section beyond the
fire limits, and l have patiently waited
with my neighbors for a year for the prom
ised extension of electric lights to that
section. I do not refer to public street
lighting, but merely to the privilege Of
introducing lights In residences.
The subcommittee yesterday took up a
provision relating to overhead and under
ground electric light and telephone wires,
which In it's original draft provided as fol-
lows:
Said Commissioners are further author
lied to issue permits for the construction
of overhead electric light and telephone
lines outside the aforesaid fire limits by
any company or corporation now author
lied to occupy the streets of Washington.
etc."
After conference with representatives of
the District Commissioners this provision
was amended by striking out the words
electric light and" leaving the telephone
company in full possession of the entire
suburban field. and RELOCATING the residents
of those sections to the use of kerosene
and tallow dips. My house and the houses
of many other people living in the suburbs
are wired for electric lights. and when
Congress authorizes the running of wires
in the suburbs we will have to pay the
expense of making the connections, and
In no event can the District or the general
cost. Throughout the past year 1t has
been confidently stated by leading senators
that at this session Congress would give
all wouldlbe consumers the privilege % OF
introducing electric lights at their own
expense, but at the last moment upon a
statement pnrporting to como from the
Commissioners that there Is mo great de-
mand" for these lights. they are cut of.
Can The Star tell us why?
