It seems the fight that has been made against the railroads by the Leg fsiatures of some States Is having a harmful effect in the East and West. There is possibility that one of the effects of it will be a movement by the roads to cut the number of trains and make them slower. New York paper says:
 Several passenger agents of the New York Central lines had an infor- mai conference yesterday at the Grand Central station and talked chiefly of the possibility of finding some way by which the fast through trais to the west on which an extra fare is charg- ed can be run If the two cents a mile movement spreads. No one could de- wise any way of getting around the proposition If Illinois, {. Michigan and New York ever adopt the two cent rate, and it was the general opinion that if passenger rate busting keeps up; there will not be anything leaving New York for the middle west but slow trains.
 so long as New York state leaves passenger rates alone" said one of the passenger agents, i've can find some way of tacxing on the extra fare even if the man who pays it does travel most of the way through a country where there Is a two-cent limit. There has never been any complaint from persons who use the trains. If they want to get across the country faster Chan they could go on an ordinary Srain they are willing to pay for it."
