TO IGNORE MISSOURI LAW.
Western RaiIroa Dis Hold New Statute
Regarding Passes a Violation
of Interstate Commerce.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-The issue OF passes
by the western roads during the year
1904 Will be greatly restricted. Passes
to shippers or merchants will be en-
tirely discontinued. Return passes to
men in charge of live stock shipments
will also be cut Off next year. Missouri
and one OF two other western states
have laws requiring the railroads to
furnish free transportation to live
stock men, but the railroads claim
that these laws are invalid because they
conflict with the Interstate commerce
law, which prohibits the roads from
issuing passes to shippers, and they
mean to appeal to the United States
courts, if the state authorities give
them any trouble.
