PASSENGER MEN
MEET IN DALLAS

Dallas, Tex, October 10.-Discussion
as to the political rights of corpora
ton employees enlivened tile afternoon
session today of the American Asso-
citation of Passenger Agents, WHICH con-
vened in annual session this morning
In Dallas. M. ii. Bohreer of Chicago
was the principal speaker in defense
the railroad man as for any other cit
izen. Corporation affiliations should not
prove bar to the railroad man en-
tering actively into political affairs, nor
to his right to hold Office The sentl-
ment of the delegates apparently was
largely in his favor.
Today's meetings were principally
devoted to preliminary routine and the
reports of standing committees. The
financial condition of the organiza ton
was declared to be excellent and the
membership rolls showing SIS MEM
hers Seventy-six members were ad-
mtted today Three hundred and fifty
delegates are in attendance.
At banquet tonight the principal
addresses were delivered by T.. b.
Pope and Alexander Hilton of ST. Louis.
The convention will conclude with the
selection of the next place of meeting
afternoon. Jacksonville. Fla. is a strong
contender for the next convention.
After adjournment the delegates Will
visit San Antonio aboard special
train as guests of the Texas railroad
