Finley calls a Friday meeting. Boston and Albany may end its Alton ticket circuit. Big Four may renew friendly ties within a week. Officials say through passenger business has slowed since the boycott began.

IT A breach of faith
Information from CubcaGco reports that Canadian Pacific issued a tariff cut for freight from New York to St Paul and Minneapolis effective April 28. Rates drop to first class 109, second 91, third 73, fourth 49, fifth 40, sixth 35 cents, from prior levels.
