would sincerely appreciate receiving your
reply 20 the following questions:
Has a passenger travelling on any rail-
road in New York State the right 10 refuse
payment Of fare II such passenger cannot
obtain a seat? II there are state railroad
laws providing for such or similar con-
tingencies I would very much appreciate

THE law requires that a railroad must
furnish safe and adequate facilities for
transportation. but there is no law Civ
ing a passenger the right 10 refuse the
payment Of his fare If he cannot obtain
a seat. In some Of the Western states a
