" E. C. flurrowB of Peoria. Ill , , enmiorsed ( tie reimmurini made by Mr. Lee mimul observed ; "Time salvmitiomi of the traveling muon is with the railroads and not with the scalpers.

" l'i'idcimt Vitiirstci n's t ti ( nile , The ccond vice president , Chambes 11. hart of Denver , Cobo. , occupied this chair during the debate , and this nave National 1ree1Ucut'shierstetu a ebaimee to tulme time floor on the side of the railroads. lit , be- iiovcd the raliroada to be the friends of the traveling men , lie had given the subJect - Ject considerable tumir in his state , Virginia. , as chairman of the assocIation's railroad committee there. Said he : I think if we consider our interests and ( hose of the railroads as mutual , inside of sIx months we will have a satisfactory In- tcrcbangcabie mileage ticket , whereas we have nothing to gain on the other side. howard Peek of Texns ako wanted the "association to record its protest against the fraud of ticket scalping , " It time , he said , ( lint the "drummer ceased to be a party to this fraud. " Upon Moys Jacobs of Denver asking : "have the railroad associations ever asked us to help them out ? " Mr. Burrows moved that Chairman F. C. Donald of the Central Passenger association be allowed to address ( ho convention , as he was present. This was quito agreeable to the convention anti Mr. Donald took the platform to explain the p0- sition of time railroads. tie haul been nu- thorizeel o speak also for the Western as- sociation. lie had rend Mr. l'hnlcn's report nnmi had found it "fair , tlispasslooato and intelilgent. " In substance ho said : The question of an Interchangeable ml- leago ticket had received the most careful attention of tue railroads when it flrst camne up , but It was then a revolutionary piopo- sition. Eventually the matter was takeim up in earnest , and after the Chicago mass meeting a 6,000-miie ticket was issued , that , however , had to be dropped for lack of patronage. The forty-five railroads in the association , through their representatives , had discussed time question from March to Septeimmber , with the result of the introduc- ( ion of tile 1,000-miio interchangeable ticket. Our restrictions are not intemideil to embarrass - barrass you , but ( lucy are for the protection of the legitimate business of the railroads and arc atmed solely against the scalpers. % 'iiimt Oilier , , lIne ioime , Mr. Donald enumerated a great nany nn- tionai bottles that. had gone on record as endorsing - dorsing the anti-scalpers' hub , notably the Grand Army of ( ho Republic , Epworth league and ninny others , and tie hoped the Travelers' Protective association would do likewise. It was about the only important orgammization ( lint had not , ho said. In reply to J , M. Irwin of Quincy , Ill. , ho said the bill , it it became a law , would cut down ( lie expense of the mileage bureaus of the railroads one-half nnd the traveling men would get ( lie benefit. As to the rebates , i0 per cent were iaid within twenty-four hours after prpscntation , 75 per cent vithlmi forty- eight hours and all within four or five days. When ha fInished Mr. Jacobs said it was the "first time the railroads had come to tile Travelers' Protective association , " but the Travelers Protective association stood ready to extenti the right hand of fellowship. If ( ho railroads are ( ho association's friends time Travelers' Protective association should favor them , He accordingly was ready to favor Mr. Phalen's recornmrendatbon. Delegate - gate I'ortor of Kentucky wanted the same courtesies extended to the scalpers as to time railroads had received , hut noime seemed to be present. Mr , Yclin remarked that imoboiy had worked harder against the Interchangeable - changeable ticket than time eculper. Finally Mr. Lee's amendmnent was carried and ( tie Travelers' Protective association lint itself on record as favoring the anti- scalpers' bill. A short report from the press committee was received , amnomig other thiumgs thanking the newspapers for courtesies , and the report - port of the committee on constitutiomi and by-laws was taken up for consideration. It wmms a long one amid its recommendations of various changes were considered seriatim. Time convention reftised , to adopt its recoin- inendation of the admission of life and fire insurance solicitors to muember- ship in the Travelers' Protective as- sedation , and among other recommendations rejected was one restricting the selection of natIonal directors to those states only which have a membershIp of 1,000 or over , but one empowering the national board to make an assessment whenever time in- deninity fund falls below 5OOO succeeded. During time cccii recess ( lie members of the association were photographed in group by time omclai photographer of time Transrnis- sissippi 1xposit1ofl. .Alvectliiti Stutii of ) leiImlCVN. On the question of mnemberslmip an amend- meat to ( lie constitution was agreed to , barring front the association members who go into ( lie iotzmii business. This amenmi- mont and ( lie one proposing to make eiigi- blo life and fire insurance solicitors , vere nniomig four submitted by President Wal- lerstein. The Holland proposition to nd- mit business representatives of mmewspapcrs was lost. All of Secretary Louis T. La l3eaumo's proposed mmmentlnients were acceptemi. Among ( lucre was that empowering the national board to levy aim assessment in case the in- deinnity fund fails below 3OOO. Action on the proposed constitutional amomidnients took up much of the afternoon , Ommcm which vent througim all right raises the secretary's salary tromu $2,100 to 2,1O , Another provides for a quarterly inspection of aesoication's books by an expert account ant. Still another does away with time re- quiroineiit ( lint time association stationery shall ho secured at cost. An effort by Chairman George W. Smith of time imatiomial enmpioymnciit committee to have the "members" as well as the "chair- men" ci' 'time imational committees included In tile comiventiomi's expemise account failed , A similar fate befell the proposition of C , S. a holland of tIme Texas division to exclude fromi time convention pay roll the cimairmen of the national committees. . MI time ilollamid amendments were ro- Jecteil. These iumciuded time ono to limit the seloetiomi of members of time national board of directors oniy to those states having a membership of 1,000 or over. Likewise one td raise tIme national secretary's boumd from $25,000 to 6OOOO. Time J , F. Adams amendment , divesting time national presiulciut of time office of na- tiunni organizer , was accepted , Subsequently was voted down a proposed amemidment to imeovido for time ahlPotfltmnemmt of mu separate national organizer. This was offlired on time floor by George W.
