Special Dispatch TO THE New York HraALn
New Yark Herald bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. June "a.
One million travelling men. well or
ganized and active In every state, sup
ported by the leading commercial houses
of the country, and by motion picture
concerns. are trying TO force the House
to act on the bill which will renew the
sale OF interchangeable mileage books
at price less than the regular passenger
fare. The same organizations also are
endeavoring to force consideration OF
bill introduced by Representative Nc
Laughlin (Neb.) abolshing the sur
charge on the sale ofiPullman berths.
Both measures are waterloggd In the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. of which Representative
Winslow (Mass.) Is chairman. Railroad
influence Is said to be back Of the dis
inclination to take action on the mileage
book legislation, while utter Indifference
appears to be holding UP the Pullman
berth legislation. Both the railroads and
the Pullman company would like to see
the surcharge on Pullman berths
amounting to 80 per cent Of the regular
charge removed.
Commercial houses which sell to the
public through travelling statesmen. and
resumption Of the sale of mileage books.
abandoned during the war period, would
DO much to restore business. In addi-
tion to this, the use Of the mileage books
would be great convenience to the
travelling men. The excessive cost OF
passenger transportation. It Is charged,
including the surcharge on Pullman
berths is defeating Its purpose OF pro-
curing more revenue for the roads.
Representative Mclaughlin says that
while the average capacity of passen-
ger car Is sixty, the roads are now
carrying an Acreage of sixteen The
public is simply staying Mt homo and
has gone on n travel strike.
The bill was introduced In tho Senate
by Senator Watson 1rd.) and provided
for reduced rate on mileage bought In
books Of ons thousand miles or more.
The reduction was approximately 70 per
cent.
When tho bill came to tho House It
had hard shedding from the outset. Rep
resentative Stanlsy Webster (Wnsh)
undertook to champion the measure In
the Committee on Interstate Commerce.
and was aided by Representatives
Mapes CMich), Newton (Minn) and
Barckley (xy). Thoy charge their
chief difficulty lay in the opposition or
Indifference of Chairman Winslow.
Finally petitions began to pour In by
the thousands and Chairman Winslow
finally Consented to report It.
Friends OF the bill say that In order
to get this action It was necessary 10
accept several amendments which
change the bill considerably from the
way It passed the Senate. ono OF these
provides that the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall have the right to de-

"Jr." and Its Relation to Golf.

In its report OF the Father and Son
golf tournament on the Nassau Coun-
Iy Club links THE New YoRK HER-
AID printed the names OF 1873 pairs
whose net score was 90 or less. In
this list OF 13s pairs Or" appeared
fifty times. That IS. 36 per cent. OF
the fathers played with sons bearing
the same Christian name.
IL would be interesting TO know
how many OF the fathers whose golf
ing sons we're not Juniors had
Juniors in the gallery or at home. II
seems quite possible, from the re-
markably large percentage Of 36. that
one-half OF the golfers who have sons
at all must have sons bearing their
own given name.
What is thepercentage Of Juniors"
among the general population? The
census men pick up information
much less interesting. Surely there
is no such proportion as 36 per cent.
