Reduced Passenger Fares for State Fairs in Upper Mississippi
Dispatches from Chicago report the Western Passenger Association may act today on reduced excursion rates for eleven state fairs in the upper Mississippi valley. Traffic officials expect no rate cuts. Wisconsin seeks cuts for its state fair, but concessions require uniform rates across Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, the Dakotas, and others. Rails previously set a 2 cent per mile minimum for such rates, a standard rarely departed from by major lines. The Chicago and Alton briefly offered low fares to St Louis, but other roads blocked further cuts.
