PLAN ENDS RUSH
OF COMMUTERS

New York. Oct. Is The new face
on-the-ticket rule of the New York
Central railroad has put a stop to
the old practice of transferring or
selling communication tickets to subur-
banites. But the commuters didn't
like the idea and they groaned as
the cameras clicked.
Their protests were unavaling,
however. for the railroad decreed that
no more Communication tickets would
be issued after October l, unless
photograph of the holder was attached
to the ticket. The rush to have pic
lures taken was so great during the
last week of grace that almost every
station along the railroads lines was
converted into an emergency photo
graph gallery
All available photographers were
rounded up and posted at stations.

unity OF being "mugged' while wait
ing for his train to carry him to work

After the first rush. these photo
graphers no longer said. Look pleas
ant, please The commuters said
it was impossible. An observing train
conductor remarked that it was curl.
ouS that many of the photographs
showed scowling countenances.
The railroad explained that one Of
the first effects of the new regula-
lions was tremendous falling off
in the sale Of communication tickets at
small station on the West Shore
division. Although this station had
only corporals guard of commuters.
it used to sell 40 communication tickets
every month
This was the explanation. accord
ing to the railroad:
The communication rate from this
station was only 30 cents, whereas
the regular round-trp fare was 50. 20.
Some one was buying communication
tickets and them farming them out
by the day at scalper's rates-$1.5O.
On transaction of this kind the pas.
senger saved ST. 20, the scalper made
$1.1S and the railroad lost $2.32.
