Pullman Tickets Purchased at

REASON FOR THE MOVEMENT

Sleeping car accommodations from
Paducah 10 Chicago is tie demand of
Padueah business men. who will
make a concerted effort to compel
recognition Of local passenger traffic
from the Illinois Central railroad.
The practice Is for Paducah peo-
pie, wishing to take the night ride
to Chicago, to purchase sleeping car
tickets to Cairo for a quarter and
there get their through tickets to
Chicago This practice gives Cairo
credit for all the travel while, as a
matter of fact. Paducah travel to
Chicago is heavier than that from
the river town.
As an example last night nine pa
ducahans came from Chicago. They
secured sleeping car tickets from
Chicago to Cairo aud from there TO
Paducah. Nine tickets that should
have been credited TO the Paducah
traffic went to swell the business be
tween Cairo and the metropolis of
the plains.

buying tickets and swelling the pas
senger traffic between Cairo and Chi
cago, and at the same time belittllne
Paducah's business. Cairo can secure
concessions from the road by reason
of this travel. while Padncah will
continue throwing away every chance
