Cancel All Passes December
81, Declare Manager Cutler
SAME RULE As NORTHERN PACIFIC
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW
BUT RAILROAD EMPLOYEES

eff a person is riding On our road
after midnight next Monday on a pass
it practically means that he is an en-
ploye of this company or a member
of an employees family said Manager
Cutler, of the w. & c. r. this morning.
Mr.. Cutler said that the new in
terstate commerce law would make
very little change in their pass list
because they had been issuing very
few except to employees for several
years.
While the new law applies to inter-
tom of the railroads pretty generally to
put the intra state business on the
same basis so far as passes are con-
cerned as the interstate business. While
this may not be necessary under the
law the matter is in some doubt and
officials generally are inclined to be
on the safe side of the matter.
1.-The w. & c. R. will adopt the
same rules in regard to passes as the
Northern Pacific" said Mr.. Cutler, land
the ldlleT COHlpdIly Ids JUST lSSueu
circular directing the cancellation Of
all passes at midnight on December
81, excepting to employees.
The peculiar section in the circular
is that defining the word family. Rail-
road officials are directed to use the
word family as only including those
living under the same roof as the en-
ploye as we'll as dependant on him for
support.
Mr.. Cutler is inclined to think that
the Interpretation may be modified lat
er to the more reasonable one Of in
Guiding all those dependent on an en-
ploye for support because a man
might live here in Walla Walla and
have a mother living in Dayton whom
he supported and it would be unreal
sonable to deny her free transporta-
ton because she did not live in the
same town.
