Railway officials who have been taking an active part in the movement to wipe out the ticket scalping evil in western cities are much pleased at the prospect of being ma terially aided in their undertaking bv the Or der of Railway Conductors. They are em phatic in their praise of the South Dakota branch of the order which has taken the ini tiative bv bringing before the legislature of that state an anti-scalping bill,and they confi dently expect to see the movement spread to other states. The conductors are interested in having such laws enacted, because when ever fraudulent tickets are palmed off on them they are usually required to make good the loss to the company that employs them 13ut they also have the interest of the public in mind and are able to recount numerou sin stances in which persons have been com pelled to pay their fares on the train after buying worthless tickets of unauthorized agents.
