Western Lines to Make strong Eff

the Movement OF Troops to the
Coast.
Chicago. July 19.-Strong efforts will
be made today by the western rail-
roads, thru their general passenger
agents, TO make Il satisfactory arrange
ment Tor a division of the heavy milf
tary business that is expected TO move
from many parts Of the land 10 San
Francisco soon. The fiures Which the
roads are quoting 10 the government
now are TOO low to allow of any profit
TO the lines in transporting the troops.
That the military business within the
next few months Will be heavy enough
TO afford the carrying companies
good revenue if normal second-class
tariffs are rigidly maintained is re-
garded as certain. and the passenger
managers deem ii necessary to arrange
fora DIVISION of the business in order to
keep rates in good condition.
A per capita rate os slos52 from Chs

offered by certain western lines TO the

is SOS 81 of which 81 cents is allowed the
southern Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco The Southern Pacific, how
ever is credited with about S1T on its
bond account with the government. The
passenger men figure that a reasonably
good profit can be derived from the app
piicatian of the normal rate, but that
with the siO.52 rate in effect the lines
lcan not help losing money.
