Action of the Railway Men at Special Session
Held Today.
The Association Proposes to Secure
Concerted Action in Favor
of the Measure.

A special meeting of the American Asso-
citation of General Passenger and Ticket
Agents convened at the Arlington Hotel
this morning. Mr.. William A. Turk, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Southern Rail-
way Company. called the meeting to order
and there was a large attendance of the
members of the body. AS a rule this asso-
citation does not meet but once a year. but
the "anti-scalping BILL" which Is now pend
ing before the Congress of the United
States, Is the cause of this extra session
The convention adjourned at IL 80 o'clock,
after committee had been appointed to
prepare certain resolutions on the subject
of ticket scalping, which are to be present
ed to Congress.
MIR. William A Turk. general passenger
agent OF the Southern Railway and presi-
dent of the association, when spoken to on
the subject today said that although the
committee having the matter in charge
had reported to Congress favorably on the
passage of the anti-scalping bill, at the
same time. it was rumored that the rail-
roads throughout the country were not
working in conjunction in the matter so he
decided, at the request of about thirty
members of the General Passenger and
Ticket Agents Association, to call a spe-
cial meeting so that definite action might
be taken by the entire body in the matter
Standard Paper to BE Used.
1T is the intention of the association"
said Mr.. Turk, Ito arrange, if possible
that all railroad companies shall print their
tickets upon a standard paper, which will
render impossible any altering, efacing or
forging of names to contracts on the tick
cts An interline contract will probably be
arranged SO that the conditions on the
tickets will read the same on all railroads
The officers of the association are: Will

The Opening Religious Service,

The religious service was held yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Columbia
Theater. The house was nearly all filled
before the service began, and great inter-
est was manifested in the service
The service was presided over by Miss
Susan B. Anthony. She explained it was
difficult for her to determine whether a con-
vention like that meeting should begin like
Quaker meeting or a Presbyterian serv-
ice Her idea was that 1t should favor BOTH
The meeting was opened with prayer and
the singing of the hymn "Old and New
Guema Mclean Baker rendered a vocal
SOLO Rev. Arna Howard Shaw preached
the sermon, the scriptural groundwork of
which was lone shall chase a thousand
and two put ten thousand to fight" Her
subject, she said, was the power of organi-
cation. The address treated of the growth
of conviction among the first suffragsts
Reference was made to the first convention
at Seneca Falls, N. Y. in July. 1913.
The Duty of Women. ~
Miss Anthony stated that when the report
went forth that the convention had been
held the world laughed and asked careless
questions concerning il. Comments were
made by the press. The women who brought
forward that faith have lived their day she
asserted. They made their fight. Their fol-
lowers were there today, not merely to do
reverence to their memories. They left a
message, which was that the fruits are ripe
for the harvest. Their duty, she said, was
rot to fight and die, but to live and work
They were not the ones, she declared, nor
yet the two who shall put ten thousand to
flight. Instead they are the thousands who
are to go forth and bring the millions to
their aid and support.
The boxes were filled with many of the
kmore prominent delegates and their friends.
Leaders of the movement occupied seats on
the stage about Miss Anthony. The theater
was decorated for the occasion with the
emblem of the order. This Is large Amer
lean flag, with four yellow stars. These
represent the four woman suffrage states
