sprint to cut down the lead and seriously

Washington Sept. IA general advance
in the freight rates on lumber by the

Shreveport & Pacific company in the yellow
pine territory to all points in the United

TO CUT OFF AGENTS. PASSES
Western Passenger Association Adopts
Drastic Recommendation.

Chicago, Sept. T.-Railroads in the
Western Passenger Association. comprising
the lines between Chicago and the Rocky
Mountains, have adopted a recommends
ton that after January l. 1911, no compli-
mentary annual passes be issued to the
officers and agents of other railways below
the rank of assistant general passenger
agent This will cut off from the privilege
the thousands of general agents, district
division and travelling passenger agents
and local representatives of the roads in
various cities accustomed to travelling free.
The recommendation is contingent, how
ever, on its adoption by the freight traffic
organizations. 1t is considered impracti-
cable to abolish the issuance of passes to
the passenger officials unless the rule is ex-
tended to cover freight officials below the
rank of assistant general freight agent.
