Excess Mileage CHARGES
May Be Investigated
Gillespie Receives Letter of Protest AGAINST
Practices OF RaiIroads-May Propose
inquiry as to Legality

The alleged .nileage-book grab of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will soon be called to the attention of
Congress by Representative o. ".
Gillespie OF Texas. 1t Is possible that
inquiry into this matter will be a part
of the general railroad investigation that
is to be made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the near future.
r. r. Rogers. chairman of the Penn
sYlvania State Railroad Committee of
the Travellers Protective Association
has sent the following letter TO Con-
gresham Gillespie:
Il desire to call your attention to
one fact of railroad conditions in Penn
syivania. There are several rOads-the
Pennsylvania. Baltimore and Ohio,
CHESAPEAKE and ohio, and sew
erai bra, hes of the Pennsylvania
system-which are now using a mileage
book of 1000 miles at $50. and on the
return of the cover. provided all stipu-
lations and rules which are laid down
have been strictly adhered to. you get
your $40
The railroads in this combination
have on hand large sums of money
We have learned on good authority
that the Pennsylvania alone has some
SO. 600 a month. Mr.. Boyd, general
passenger agent OF the Pennsylvania

ceive any interest on this money The
amount OF money held by tile railroads
on this $40 excess has been yariousIv
estimated from S, 900, 600 to $50, 900. 600
These figures we are not ready to prove :
they are statements of newspapers
Major Isaac rBown. secretary of in
teTnal affairs OF the State of Penn
syivania, states that this charge of $40
is Illegal. and that it has the appear
ance of the railroads engaging in the
banking business. which is entirely con-
trary 10 their charter.
We have considerable information
along this line. All the business inter-
ests Of this great State are against this
action on the part Of the railroad We
nave a letter from one firm alone which
states that the Pennsylvania railroad
and the allied roads hCsd about 500 of
their money a month in excess charges
You can readily see the great injustice
on the people who use mileage books,
and as the people who use the mileage
books are really the advance freight
agents for the railroads, you can see
the double uRfaiFness in charging this
excess amount OF money We sincerely
trust that you Will give this statement
some little consideration, and we would
be pleased 70 furnish you with any
amount OF information and facts and
