that the Lackawanna railroad. learning
Of the action Of the Erie and Grand
Trunk has determined to return to the
old custom Of eXchan ging annual passes
with western lines. The only result Of
tie antipass agreement of the eastern
lines during last year was to compel
minor railway officials and employees to
pay their fare All the higher officials
either received annual passes or were
supplied with tickets either without ex-
peuse or at a nominal rate. usually 81
from Buffalo to New York and return.
The roads which lost most by advo-
eating and maintaining the antfpass
agreement undoubtedly were the Lack

earlier and most strenuous advocates or
