that the Air Line had been liberal con-
tributor AS these are the only two lines
from ct Louis to Louisville, had about

that 1t be on the basis of the other rea-

To the President Board OF Directors and

Fort Worth, Texas, April 12.--Your rail-
road committee begs TO report as follows:
Our accomplishments since last report
have not been of that material substantial
nature which has been zealously labored
for; but your committee has kept before
it as the question of most paramount inn
portance that of interchangeable mileage,
and we are decidedly nearer this consum.
nation than we were twelve months ago.
There are now three general passenger
agents in Texas who are unduestionably
in favor OF the plan, and one other who
/ think would be found on our side when
the issue is tried. Ii has been a difficult
matter TO have the question properly con-
sidered by the general passenger agents,
as IL must be borne in mind that ma
lority Of the railroads in Texas are domi-
mated and virtually controlled by parent
lines outside of the state, and for that
reason some of the officials in this Staie
have not that freehand to exercise in our
behalf, even though strongly so disposed.
Your committee, however Is strongly i'm
bued with the faith, and has sufficient en-
couragement 60 believe that in connection
with our National railroad committee, at
the proper time, we can, without dohbt,
at least fulfill part of our most cher
lshed aims and aspirations,
II is with considerable pride and grati-
tude 10 those who have supported me IN
the administration Of this Office to say
that the Texas division Of the 7. +. A. is

this system was an annoyance and incon-
Nenience and | further belive that this
difference was shown to a great extent for
our Indulgence and conciliartory policy in
dealing with these gentlemen for the past
several years.
The correspondence received by your
committee from all OF the railroads IN

Your officials come before you, happy
in the thought that they do not find it

During the past year no new posts have

that our association was doing ln5thing
other than grow daily in strength and i'm
