SURCHARGES on
PULLNA|NS To
REMAIN
|. C. C. Refuses Plea Of Com
pany to Cut off Extra
Fare

VI 3 + i Z
The present surcharges on Pull
man sleeping and parlor cars is not
unreasonable, the Interstate Com
merce Commission held today.
This surcharge, which is in addi-
fion to the regular passenger fare
for the transportation of passengers
in Pullman cars, goes entirely to
the railroads.
The surcharge, which. amounts
to about 10 per cent of the pas
senger fare, was establishes by
the Commission on August %, 1920,
and is applicable to all interstate
traffic and to all interstate travel.
except in West Virginia, and North
and South Carolina.
The Pullman Company opposed
the surcharge on the ground that
it reduced travel in Pullman cars.
The Commission, however. pointed
out that while the passenger rev.
enue of the railroads. decreased
from. $1,154.05S.11S in 1921 to ST.
Ia, 792,6S7 in 1923, the revenue
from the surcharge increased from
s32 ,605, 082 to $37.609. 062, or approx
imately Is per cent during those
periods.
The railroads asked for the con.
tinuance of the surcharge on the
ground that it cost them more to
transport passengers in Pullman
cars than in coaches while the SUI
perior accommodations justified a
higher fare.
The Commission was divided IN
it's opinion, Commissioners McChord,
Campbell, Cox and McNamany, dis
senting from the majority.
Commissioner Campbell said the
surcharge was wrong in principle
and should be abolished. It was,
established, he said as an expedient

in 1881, and continued to hold the
Secretary of War portfolio under
President Arthur. Returning to the
practice of law he became special
counsel for the late George NJ. Pull
man. the Pullman car king. On Mr..
Pullman's death, Mr.. Lincoln became
president Of the Pullman Go. In
1896 he retired as president, but be-
came chairman of the board OF direc-
tors. 1t was In 1910 that he gave up
his residence in Chicago and came to
Washington TO live.
In his early days Mr.. Lincoln took
a more or less active part in national
politics. The first OF his very few po-
litical speeches was for Blaine. He
supported the third term movement
for Grant in 1880. and was the only
member OF Garfields cabinet who was
retained by President Arthur In 1880,
Mr.. Lincoln was elected a delegate to
the Republican national convention,
the same convention to which Stephen
n. Douglas. il. also was delegate
although his father had upheld the
Democratic side III the great Lincoln
Douglas debates.
Robert Lincoln served as Minister
to Great Britain under President
lidI llstt WAS ms ldSI pubic
Office. SO high did he stand in the
esteem of his friends that he was
once ursed To run for the nomination
for President. He declined the use of
his name. He was also asked to run
for the United States Senate from
Illinois. This suggestion he likewise
spurned. He preferred law to poll

tuted for it in London, although
Barnard's statue has since been set

Frequently Mr.. Lincoln has writ
ten some artist, writer or orator to
express personal appreciation for
some tribute to his father. And
though he disagrees with statements
in some of the Lives OF Lincoln
he has kept out of all controversies
over them. Furthermore. so far as
is known TO his friends he has never
prepared any memoirs to clear up
any Of these points.
But be that as it may, Robert L.
