Western Passenger Association AZ
fairs In a Bad Way.

CHICAGO, June Sat meeting of the
Western Passenger association every at
tempt to reach an agreement upon immi-
grant bureau matters failed, and the pas
senger agents referred the whole question
again to the executive officers. The lines
afterward took up the revision agreement
for the association, but with immigrant
matters unsettled. it will be difficult to
do anything in the direction of adopting
a new association agreement. The resig
nation of Chairman Caldwell will not tend
to help the situation. Under the consti-
tuition of the association d unanimous
vote of all the members is required to
elect a chairman, and in the present con-
ditiOn of affairs it will be next to impos-
sible to obtain this. There will be no
lack of candidates for the position. and
already half dozen men are talked of.
The strained relations between certain
lines will render it hard to secure the
election of any candidate. The executive
committee met today, and, while anxious
to retain Mr.. CaldwelIs services as long
as possible, practically agreed to let him
go@to the Lackawanna not later than the
end of the present month, and possibly
earlier should his presence in the East
be particularly needed before that time.
