Hreen considered the motion to clmngo tlio

The siieaker sustained the point of order.

up today from the passenger departments of
western roads when it wns learned that there
was another postponement in the Alton's ' do
iiiand for a two-cent mileage rate. President
Hook of the Jacksonville .t Southeastern had
telegraphed to Chairman Fin ley that he
would like a delay until U'odnesdayuiulcould
pivo the Alton assurances which would obvl-
ate the necessity of the two-cent rate. This
reduction has been the most prominent ques
tion for seine tlmo to western roads and they
propose to unite In any proposition which
will save the present rate basis. The Alton's
position has not changed.
Western passonnor men are also worried
by the receipt of a circular from the inter
state commerce commission asking a detailed
statement of all fluctuations in passenger
rates during the past year. Passenger men
call to mind Chairman Cooley's remarks that
any published rate is prima laeie a paying
one and wonder if a reduction in rates will
follow the receipt of the statements. None
of them have been complied with as yet , but
enough Is knowii to show that the average
rate for ten yours is little , if any , above the
J-centmnrk.
