PASSES TO LEGISLATORS
Western Roads Propose to Favor the
Law Makers.

From Saturdays Daily.
Executive officials of the western
roads met yesterday in Chicago and en-
tered into new pass agreement. The
roads were unable to agree to the abo-
lition of all interstate transportation
but did agree to abolish all transporta-
ton which could in any way affect traf-
fc.
An effort was made to get an agree
ment to do away with political trans
portation, but it was unsuccessful.
The roads will continue if they see fit
t. issue passes to members of legisla-
lures and to politicians. In the main,
however, the issuance of all transporta
ton will be materially restricted over
that of last year.
