The Railroads Have Decided To
Abolish the Sale of Monthly
Tickets to Pupils
PLACE BLAME ON c COMMISSION

A general movement on the part Of
the railroads to discontinue the sale Of
monthly or forty-six trip communication
tickets at rates applicable only to
school children has followed as result
Of a recent order OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Thousands of
pupils in schools below the grade of
colleges or universities will be obliged
to pay full fare on trains.
The Commission held that under the
existing rules of the roads, which re-
stricted the use of the tickets to GER
tain kinds of schools, it was clearly
discriminatory and therefore illegal.
The railroad officials were told that
they might sell Communication tickets
limited in use to children or persons
between certain specified ages, but they
declined to avail themselves Of the al
tentative, saying that to establish an
age limitation opened the way to endless
confusion on account of the difficulty Of
ascertaining the age of an applicant
for a ticket.
A circular issued by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad says the use Of school
tickets will be abolished on Feb. TO-
The Baltimore & Ohio has made the
date Feb. 25 and other roads which
have not already done so will take
similar action The orders apply only
to interstate business. Within the
states the practice of selling reduced
rate tickets on presentation Of GER
tifcate signed by the parent and the
principal of the school will be con-
tinued.
The general practice has been to sell
tickets good for forty-six trips at
rates averaging from one-half cent to
three quarters of cent mile, and
lit is expected that storm of com
plant will result when the effect of
the decision becomes known
The Commission already has taken
exception to the apparent attempts Of
the Pennsylvania to place the blame
for the discontinuance Of the special
tickets on the Commission.
