WESTERN ROADS NOT TO
ABOLISH SECOND CLASS
Little Ground for Talk of Changes

CHICAGO. March 5.-There is little
basis for the report that. as a result
Of the enactment Of the EIkins law by
Congress, the Central Passenger Asso-
citation lines propose to abolish second
class fares and special rates and reduce
the passenger rate to 2 cents mile.
The question of abolishing second
class fares is to be considered Al the
meeting of the Central Passenger Asso-
citation in Chicago next week. but this is
not due to the passage Of the EIkins bill
The question OF abolishing second-class
fares. Commissioner Donald says. has
been under consideration at different
meetings during the last two years. Few
secOnd-cIass tickets are sold by the Cen
trail Passenger Association lines. end
they are not hOuOred by the trunk lines
east Of Buffalo, which abolished them
several months ago. There is not enough
second-cIass business to provide special
cars for it. and. as a rule. second class
passengers are put in smoking cars.
There is no intention of cutting off
half fare and cheap excursion rates for
conventions. There are between thirty
and forty applications for such occasions
on the Central Passenger Association
docket, nearly all Of which viii be grant
