Traffic Men of Western Roads Meet in Chicago
A special Western Passenger association committee met in Chicago to examine if anti pass agreements were broken by lines. They found no proof of breaches, though some contracts and passes were not filed. They noted recent evidence of passes issued to freight and passenger traffic interests, amid looming talks to keep grain rates stable and avoid last year’s rate war. Rev Myron W Haynes of Beledon Avenue Baptist Church, Chicago, was exonerated after deacons and trustees concluded he acted without wrongdoing in procuring half rate tickets for three companions, with supporting testimony from A H Lovett of the Rock Island railroad.
