Reduction in Immigration Rates to Chicago
At a meeting of the emigrant clearing house at Trunkline HQ a resolution to cut immigrant fares to Chicago from 13 to 5 was approved by major railroads including Canadian Pacific, Boston and Albany, New York Central, and others. Though not final, officials expect passage at the next meeting. The cut retaliates against Delaware and Lackawanna and could spark a rate war.
