UPPER PULLMAN BERTHS
ARE BEING 7URNElD0WN
PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT THEM
IF THEY ARE 'cHEAPER-coM.
PANY is UP AGAINST A HARD
PROPOSITION.

The West Virgtnian carried a story
about two weeks ago to the effect thai
the Pullman sleeping car company
would very likely give one desiring q
lower berth both the upper and Lowell
section for the price OF the lower
berth only with an additional charge
of probably fifty cents; that trayeE
ing men-eYen though they were not
blessed with much money--would only
take a lower berth for fear Of looking
Cheap" since upper berths were
made cheaper than the lower ones.
This statement was given out by d
Baltimore and Ohio official.
Here's what the Gazette Times OF
PIttsburg said editorially yesterday
on the subject with the caption mot
Pride Alone:
Reports have been printed that, be.
cause OF the lack OF demand for upper
berths, Notwithstanding last winters
reduction in rates by the Pullman
Company, there is possibility of fur.
Their decrease in sleeping car charges.
The, explanation is made that pride Of
passengers, who do not want to face
the suspicion that they are cheap trav-
elers, or are bent on economy, relecta
the upper berths, despite the 20 per
cent. differential So there Is scheme
afoot to sell the upper berth along
with the lower for an additional charge
of so cents, or at least to make more
seductive cut in upper berth rates.
That is a good enough story to tell
the marines. The sad truth is that
the upper berth in the steel Pullman
cars is not 'fit to sleep in, There is
not sufficient support for spring and
mattress to prevent violent rocking
and rolling even when trains are ope.
rated on the best OF roadbCds In tho
old.style Pullman as far as sleeping
purposes were concerned the upper
berth was practically as comfortable
as the lower, and from the sanitary
standpoint was preferable. But this
is not so OF steel cars, in which the up.
per berth as we'll as the sofa in the
drawing room is an abomination with.
out a single redeeming feRture-the
very acme of discomfort. The same
criticism holds good as to the scat In
the mems smoking compartment, one
esult being, that the snug delights of
