Railroads Abolish Second Class Fares

There is no such thing as a second
class fare now. Second class fares on
railroads constituting the Western Pas
senger association-and this comprises
every western road-have been abolished
and from now on first class fares must
be paid. If person is content with a
chair coach he will pay as much for his
ticket as the man who wants standard
Pullman accommodations, the only diff
ference in cost being the price of the
berth or Pullman accommodations. The
abolition of second class rates for sec
ond class travel is regarded by most
persons as move on the part of the
railroads to balance up the 2-ccnt mile
rates demanded by the new laws of
middle western states. Such, at least,
is the opinion freely offered The diff
ference in first class and S econd class
fares averages about $500.
