Railroads
TOURISTS WORK
SAN PEDRO ROAD
Southern California Travellers Re.
sort to Tricks to Get Tickets
Extended.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 20.-The inter-
state commerce commission and some Of
the transcontinental railroads may
clash over the question Of the rail
roads being compelled to refuse to
holders Of trip transportation an ex-
tension of time on their tickets. A
recent opinion in the form of a letter
from Chairman Knapp of the commits
sion held that railroads must refuse to
extend the time limit of tickets for
any case whatsoever.
The San Pedro road has already dis
continued the practice and has begun,
instead, to cash redemption of unused
transportation where sickness or other
good cause is shown as the reason for
inability to use the same. The South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe officials, how
ever, are quoted as saying that they
will make no change in their methods
until they have received a ruling on
the subject direct from the interstate
commerce commission, and in event of
the latter the matter will be taken
into the courts and final decision had
upon the subject.
San Pedro officials assert that they
have uncovered evidence that a large
amount OF fraud was being perpetrated
on their road and others. They state
OF time on transportation has become
so general that in one instance it was
found that certain physician hac
been doing large business issuing fol
81 each certificates of sickness to hold
ers of transportation for the purpose
of securing extension of time on thei1
tickets. These certificates were issued
the officials claim, in many cases where
the holders were not i'll at all.

Article otherwise as it is at present.
The only change that would be eff

and cultivates, within any city or Village
! in the state by peddIfng the same from
house to house without taking out a
peddler's license.

CAR SHORTAGE PINCHEs
Rate Law Prevents Discrimination and
Causes Delay.


Causes Delay.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Oct. 2O.-"The railroads Of
the country are up against stone wall
proposition in the matter of meeting the
demand for cars,' declared an official
Of one Of the eastern lines yesterday,
land there appears to be nothing they
can do to relieve the situation. Every
seems to be no hope Of relief.
GAS is natural in cases of this kind,
as the freight that cannot be accommo-
dated with cars collects, the difficult
ties to the railroads increase. It is a
we'll known fact that the railroads can
not handle nearly so much freight
when blockade actually exists as they
can under ordinary conditions. And
that condition is rapidly approaching.
Even now in our Chicago warehouse we
are way behind with our work and we
cannot handle the freight with ordinary
facility.'' 49, r.
The new rate law makes conditions
worse than they would otherwise be,
declared another traffic official who dis.
cussed the case. He said it was due
to the fact that the railroads are no
| longer permitted to discriminate in the
| distribution Of cars and the small ship
pers, who usually do not load and un'
| load their cars as rapidly as the larger
| ones, receive their due proportion OF
| equipment and the railroads are delayed
just in the proportion that these small
shippers are slow in handling Their
! equipment.
| Another effect Of the new rate law is
that it makes the car shortage felt by
concerns that usually are not affected
until conditions become unusually Sc
we're. Under the old state of affairs
the big shippers were furnished will
cars when smaller ones were in want
Now things are changed and the biz
shipper is made to bear his share Of
the burden occasioned by the shortag'
Of equipment.
