Rates For The Thespians On Western Rail Lines
The Western Passenger association considers a bureau like mileage and clergy to control theatrical travel. Managers pay full tariff but receive rebates: 2 1/2 to 1 3/4 cents per mile as group size grows, with a $1.25 per mile minimum for special trains. Advance agents and connected staff gain rebates, baggage allowances exceed ordinary limits, and plans urge other lines to join. The change aims to prevent troop movement via special rates and aligns with federal troop needs.
