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

in having such laws enacted, because when

the loss to the company that employs them

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. It is understood that similar bills
are to be introduced by the Order of Railway
Conductors in other states where no anti
