Cheap rates for the South advance as railroads discuss
The Inter-State committee of forty five Southern boards of trade and the Southern Society of Immigration and Development met in Cincinnati and prepared to press for one cent per mile excursion rates. They reported strong federal rail traffic interest, with Southern lines urged to set the example, while the Great Central Traffic Association signaled sympathy and potential cooperation. The push centers on cheaper travel to Southern points, backed by the railroads' capital and sector-wide development.
