Rates to Rise in State Fare Change for Interstate Travel
Beginning next Tuesday December 1 the railroad fare to St Louis over the Pennsylvania Line will be 65 cents one way or 1 30 round trip. The present fare is 60 cents one way or 1 22 round trip. The interstate rate increase follows a battle with the Interstate Commerce Commission over freight and passenger charges. Local state fares to East St Louis and within the state will stay fixed under the two cent rate law, but St Louis in another state is exempt. Collinaville’s postal routes and three delivery system costs are cited, with the Commercial Club planning action aided by lawmakers to resolve the situation and encourage home trade.

Troy Wins at Football Over Gratiat Athletic Club
Troy Cavaliers defeated Gratiat Athletic Club eleven of St Louis 13 to 7 at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon in a hard fought game witnessed by a large crowd. Conley scored Troy's first points on a second quarter forward pass followed by a Morriss goal kick, with Tom Ramghan’s pass in the third adding another touchdown though no kick was good. St Louis answered with a third quarter score and the Saints’ line plunges dominated much of the play. A 40 yard run by Will Scott highlighted Troy’s offense while injuries marred the contest as a broken jaw and battered nose among St Louis players were reported.
