Omaha exposition rates are threat
ened with serious Generalization unless
some immediate action is taken against
the scalpers in that city. The situation
is so critical that a special meeting OF
the Omaha lines has been called to take
up the matter. The exposition officials
and the Omaha city authorities COM
bined in asking the railways to grant
them low rates during the exposition,
and pledged themselves in return to
take every possible step to keep ticket
scalpers out of the city. Having Sc
cured the low rates, the Omaha au-
thorities are accused of having ne
elected to carry out their promises.
While the city council passed a strin-
gent ordinance prohibiting scalpers
from doing business in the city, more
han a score of "cut-rate" offices are
now open there. The scalpers are leav-
ing no stone unturned to do business,
and ave latterly sent their agents out
to board incoming trains to solicit pas
sengers to sell the r%eturn-trip portions
of their tickets. The railways have
made special rates of q fare and a third
for the round trip from points within
a wide radius of Omaha, a rate which
gives the scalper a chance to do busi-
ness at a handsome profit. The roads
propose to lay these facts before the
Omaha authorities, and inform them
that unless some steps are taken to
enforce the prohibitory ordinances
against scalpers the low rates may be
taken out.

The Canadian Pacific is understood to
have expressed It's willingness to give
up its d~ffferentials on Pacific coast
business, provided certain other con-
cessions are granted 1t. These refer
chiefly to the business to the Kootenai
country and other business to which the
Canadian Pacific prefers an exclusive
claim. Before these matters can be
finally settled Ii will be necessary TO
obtain the consent of the Grand Trunk
to giving the Canadian Pacific the ex-
elusive right to the business in Ques-
ton. If the Canadian Pacific is really
willing to surrender its differentials
there is little doubt hat the American
lines will do their utmost TO bring about
a settlement of the rate war.
The decision of the interstate COM
merce commission to investigate the
whole question at Chicago next Monday
is believed to be largely responsible for
the changed attitude of the roads on
both sides. The Canadian road is not
anxious to come into direct conflict with
the American authority, neither would
IL care to see the commission give a
formal decision against ii on the differ
entail question. 1t is understood, too.
that the Canadian DAD made some Sc
rious charges against its American
competitors at the recent conference
with the commission at Washington,
and ii is probable that all the parties
interested would prefer to reach an
amicable settlement OF their difficulties
rather thar have them threshed out be-
fore the commissioners.
