2-CENT FARE HELPS BUSINESS.
st. Louis Traffic Equals That O
Worlds Fair Year.

st. Louis, Mo, July 19.-Since June
49, when, the. 2-cent-per-mile rpasSen-
ger rate law became operative in Mis-
souri, for a period to expire on Sep
TENDER 80, the passenger business at
Union Station has kept perSiStently up
almost to the high aggregate of 1904,
the Worlds Fair year. Several lines
report that their traffic at Union Sta
ton is not as large as last years, but
the business of most of them is
enormous. and the traffic of all the
roads entering st. Louis is practically
the same as that of the record year,
1904.
Owing to the fact that the railroads
are protecting their statistics, it is i'm
possible to give comparative figures
But the assertion that the passenger
business at Union Station is almost as
large as in June and July of the
Worlds Fair year is taken to be con-
elusive, as 1t emanates from a reliable
source.
Operating officials express surprise
at the statement that the business is
practically as heavy as while the ex-
position was in progress. They say
the additional number of passenger
cars in use, as compared to this time
last year, does not indicate a passen-
ger movement of almost record-break-
ing proportions.
Traffic officials explain that the
growth of business this year is normal.
The traffic was lighter in 1905 than In
1904, but was heavier in 1905 than in
1908, and heavier in 1906 than in 1905.
They draw the conclusion that, in
three years the business should reach
the 1904 figures On the other hand,
it is pointed out that the good BUSH
ness shows that the roads can prosper
with a maximum rate of cents per
mile.

islation is necessary to accomplish that
end. Milton D. Purdy. assistant to the
attorney general. and under Mr. Bona
parte the chief prosecutor of.illegal cor
porations, believes that the alleged evil
is fully covered by existing law.
The particular cause of complaint
against the acquisition by railroad COM
panies of the stock of other railroads
was the Hartman case, the report on
which was made public a few days ago
by the interstate commerce commission.
1t was shown to the satisfaction of the
commission that the buying of stock in
supposedly competing roads was re-
sponsible for many of the evils brought
to light by the Hartman investigation.
and Chairman Knapp is among those
who declare that such purchases should
be absolutely prohibited by law.
Mr. Knapp believes that even the &C
QUESTION of small block of railroad
stock by another railroad is sufficient
in many cases to create such friendly
attitude on the part of each railroad
toward the other and to bring about
such a community of interest, that
the spirit of true competition Is de-

Kansas City. July 1s.-The railroads
centering in Kansas City propose to
change the basis of charges for switch
ing freight. The rates are now fixed at
so much a car. The new plan is to as
sess switching charges on a tonnage
basis. A conference was held this morn

D. W. Rider, who was chairman of
the meeting, was next approached. +

Yes, we will meet again"
This is what was done. The confer

OF an employe of the Missouri Valley
Car Service association as secretary.
The question OF changing the method of
assessing charges from the car basis to
the tonnage basis was discussed. The
consensus of opinion was that it was
deSira BILE to adopt the tonnage basis 1t
was then decided to appoint commit
tee to report upon basis of rates to

TO CHARGE FOR PRIVATE CARS
Owners Threaten to Assess Railroad.
Per Diem Rate.

Chicago, July 19.-The owners of
private car lines are going to try to
compel the railroads to pay them so
cents a day for the use of their cars
instead of paying a mileage Of three
quarters of a cent 1t is said there
are at least 10000 privates cars in
use.
Robert ]. Bailey of the Mononga-
hela River Consolidated Coal and
coke company is trying to secure a
representative meeting CT the indie
pendent car owners to be held in
Cleveland Aug. 1 and 2, with view
to organizing an association to further
the interests of the private car own
ers. Mr. Bailey, in his invitation to
attend the meeting. says:
eat present the most pressing
questions are the placing of the in
dividual car on an equal basis with the
railroad company's car and the ap-
pIication of the per diem charge to
govern the use of the private car
when on the road and when delayed.
The control which the owners of in
Gividual cars have had in the past has
never been such as they desire, and
unless some concerted action is taken
soon it will be taken away altogether"
At present the railroads pay the
owners of private cars from three
quarters of a cent to 1 cent a mile for
every mile their cars are operated,
loaded or empty. When the per diem
rate between railroads. LOT the use VI
foreign cars was 20 cents a day the
private car owners refused to accept
per diem arrangements. The same
was true when the charge was in
creased to 25 cents.
July 1 the railroads which are mem
bers of the American Railway associa-
ton agreed to increase the per diem
charge to so cents day. 1t is I'M
derstood the mileage basis returns
private car owners about IS to 80
cents a day, and to grant them per
diem would increase the expenses of
the railroads $4,000 daily.
Several of the prominent operating
men yesterday declared it to be their
opinion that so long as the railroads
paid one another so cents a day for
the use of foreign cars they could not
refuse to pay the owners of private
cars the same amount. despite the
fact that private cars are used to
transport the merchandise of the own
er of the cars.
