WESTERN RAILROADS WILL
CONTINUE LOW FARES

CHICAGO, April 17.-According TO
II. G. Taylor, chairman, Western Assoc
iation of Railway Executives, the presi-
dents of western railroads in session
recently at the Union League club de-
cided to continue for another four
months period, terminating September
80 of this year, the reduced passenger
fares inaugurated last December. Sta
tistics presented indicated the reduced
fares have met with favorable response
from the public and, while the revenue
returns have possibly not been as great
as hoped for, it was the view that an
extension of the experiment is war
ranted
The general basis of fares is cents
per mile one way in coaches, 10 cents
per mile each way for round trip in
coaches 3 cents per mile one way in
sleeping cars cents per mile each way
for round trip in sleepers, with ten day
limit, and 2h cents per mile each way
for round trip in sleepers with longer
limit
The western lines are watching the
situation closely and have appointed a
committee of presidents to confer with
similar committees from the east and
south looking toward adoption of uni
form basis applicable throughout the
country.
