deal designed to control all passenger
business in California, within the ter
ritory of the two companies. The
main features are an interchange Of
tickets to San Joaquin valley points.
no Santa Fe passenger trains to Los
Angeles and no rate cutting.
One matter that enters as an impor-
tant factor into the arrangement is
tho agreement of the Santa Fe to keep
out of the Los Angeles business. Al
though 1t has line between here and
Los Angeles, by means of which 1t
could compete for share of the large
and profitable passenger business be
tween the two points, it will place no
tickets on sale and will run no trains
from here to the southern metropolis.
The Santa Fe officials explain this by
pointing out that their line is 100 miles
longer from San Francisco to Los An
geles than that of the Southern Pa
cific.
