Eastern roads. who have main
tanned a basic passenger fare rate
Of SO cents per mile. have been
particularly reluctant to undertake
the experiment of a reduced fare
because of the fact that they have
enjoyed a greater proportionate
share of passenger taf1c than their
.confreres in other geographical di-
visions of the country.
Their militancy. and it virtually
amounted to that. toward reduced
fare agitation has been predicated
on the assumption that any cut
would be unlikely to increase pass
enger travel to the extent that the
revenue lost by the reduction would
be made up.
There is mora to the collapse of
the Eastern Oppositionists than APP
pears on the surface. For instance,
it had been the general opinion in
transportation circles that the three
roads showing the deepest concern
for the retention of the existing
schedule of rate were the New
Haven. the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-06-15
Has Double Significance

Consequently. when the New
Haven has wilted in its campaign
it has a oouble-dyed meaning. In
the first place the New Haven has
been one of the three major op-
ponents to fare reduction. In the
second place working control of the
New Haven is exercised by the
Pennsylvania and its investment af-
filiate. Pennroad Corp.
The question of whether lower
passenger fares as conducive 10
increased revenues is an open ar
gument. Western and Southern
roa s have reported that their pas
senger traffic has expanded since
the adoption of the lower rate
schedule. However, there are GER
tain other conditions which tend to
cloud the apparent benefit.
It IS expected that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will issue
some report on the reduced fare
controversy around the first of next
year.

NEW YORK. June 15.-The solid
block Of opposition to the expert
ment Of reduced passenger fares,
persOnified by the Eastern railroads.
began 70 crumble today when it
was announced that the New York,
New Haven 81 Hartford and the
Bangor e. Aroostook railroads have
decided to slash their rates TO 2
cents a mile.
Up TO the present Eastern car
riers have withstood all efforts to
take any part in the fare-clashing
scheme. despite the fact that West
ern and Southern lines have had
such reductions in effect for many
months.
The sudden move by the New

came as an unadulterated surprise
to other railroad magnates in this
section. While it is too early to
project any opinions as to whether
other roads will follow the move
Of the two leaders, interest is at
