CONVENTION HINGES J
ON RAILROAD RATES
Fare of $40 From East Is the
Demand Made by
n, L. A.

y. FL Christensen, superintendent OF
city schools. who IS IN charge of arrange
mcn;s for the entertainment Of the 1915
National Education association should
IL be held IN salt Lake. has received
communications from number of promi-
nenI educators calling attention TO the
fac, that Salt Lake IS In danger Of losing
the convention unless the railroads grant
special rates. Yesterday a letter came
from Dr. r. H.. W!nship, editor OF the
New England journal OF Education. 1t
follows:
my dear Mr.. Christensen: do hope
you can prevent the railroads from iall-
Ing down. There is no hopc for Salt
Lake city without The $40 rate. Don
let II fall"
Since the announcement by tho eXccu-
tive committee OF the y. L. a. recently
that II would have TO reopen the question
of location OF the 1913 convention unless
the railroads change their present atti-
tude powerful influences have been
brought To bear oh behalf OF the city and
the prospects OF Salt Lake retaining It's
hard fought for plum are better now than
they were week ago. The Western
Passenger association declined 10 give Il
lower rate than the regular summer tour
ist rate from Chicago TO Salt Lake. The
y. 4. a. officers desire $40 round trim
rate and declare they VIII have to hold
the convention in some eastern city un-
less their request is granted.
Should the convention go to another
city, Salt Lake Will lose some 5000 or
1000 visitors during the coming summer
and railroad traffic Will fall off accord
ingly.
