Protest Over Mileage Tickets Filed With Railroad Commission
The Commercial Travelers' Protective Association filed a complaint against Oregon Railroad & Navigation, Southern Pacific, and Corvallis & Eastern to regulate mileage tickets. They claim tickets are sold at 3 cents per mile, rebates remain unrefunded, scrip bureau fees apply, conductors shortchange odd cents, and vultures prevent some from obtaining tickets. They seek a 2000 mile ticket with 3000 two and a half cent coupons at a flat $75 with no rebate.
