Railroad Agencies Face Fees Abolished Under Presidents Decision
Executive officers of large railroads agreed at a New York meeting to discontinue paying commissions to the ticket agencies. The plan will take effect January 1, 1901, saving an estimated 200000 dollars per year. In the past one agency alone sold about seven million tickets annually, with commissions amounting to a fixed share of receipts. The move threatens agencies such as those operated by Coox's, Gane & Co's, and Raymond & Whitcombe's, as they lose a major revenue stream.

Union Pacific passes claimants not to get passes, clerks plus
A garbled report discusses laborers and passes for office holders, referencing Kansas law, railway officials, and a court case. It mentions better pay for certain workers, calls for strikes, and cites attorney authority. The text is incoherent but points to labor action and railroad policy debated by legislators.
