BOSTON, March Il: The first rail
road magnate to heed the hand \ n dwrlt1
|fng 81 ID the wall is President Mellens
II the New York, New Haven and d
hartford Railroad. AT 9 monthly
meeting Of the directors Saturday he
made the statement that it is his
purpose to reduce the passenger tariff
to the maximum rate Of two cents g
milo upon all the companies lines
ana that the new tariff be in effect
by next October.
Nj. Mellens says that the direc-
tors have already authorized the re-.
ductioa on certain lines in connectt-
cut, including the Berkshire division,
the Highland, Naugatuck and North
ampton divisions, the sufield branch,
New Britain branch. Valley branch,
the line between Waterbury and Mid
dIetown, also that portion Of the old
New England road lying west Of WI.
Iimantic, Including the branch to
Springfield.
The action OF President Mellen 10
simply the natural outcome Of the
Iagitation that is sweeping over the
country at lightning speed, which
grimly demands that the law shall
compel the railroads to consider the
interests Of the people a little from
this time on.
This agitation for a twocent rail-
road fare has spread rapidly over the
states since the passage Of the Ohio
law. Railroad officials Of the East
ANA West, according to adyices re-
ceiyed various cities, know that
tho twecent fare is bound sooner
on lateJ to become universal and they
are only hoping the day Of its gem
eraI adoption will be delayed as long
az possible.
Tho abolition Of passes and the be.
lief that two cents is enough for most
Of tho railroads east Of the Mississ-
ippI to charge are the two strongest
influences in the propagation Of the
movement. Many railroad officials
themselves believe they must offer
the lower fare in order to meet the
competition that is developing from.
lxhe spread Of lnterurban electric
lines an over the country. The ac-
ton Of the railroads on the mileage
book question is another thing that
lis operating to increase the demand
for a twocent fare.
In the East the agitation is strong;
lfn New York fully a dozen bills have
been introduced in the legislature for
a twocent fare, AMI one Of them even
goes so far as. to make the rate one
and one:haf cents a mile, al

most likely take up the matter at the
next session Of their respective legis,
llatures.
