RULING ON PASSES.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
on Jar. 3. this year. rendered an opin-
ion 20 the effect that railroads are not
barred from issuing transportation
free or at reduced rates. to clergymen
although they may be engaged IN some
work that is not strictly speaking'
ministerial 10 seems that the Clersy
Bureau Of the TunscontInontal Pas

resenting that transportation privileges
were to be withdrawn from clergymen

lcge presidents or professors OF en-
gagged ia temperance or Y. NJ G. A..
work. and from brothers Of religious
orders. sisters OF charity. etc. etc.
The Commission holds that a clergy
man does not lose his ministerial
standing by reason Of the fact that
he leaves the passionate for some other
field OF religious activity. A minister

mary, financial agent for a church or

courts, It Is pointed out have been
consistently liberal In giving construc-
ton 10 the words charitable and

the Commission sec no reason, they
