After conferring wfth the other
members of this commission, ws felt,
and I have 10 advised Mr Watson,
that while we could with propriety
and would bring hie euggestion to the
attention of the carriers West of the
river, Indicating the protect on the
part of those located tn that territory
who desire to attend this reunion, wa
also felt that ws could hardly with
propriety undertake to Influence the
carriers to make lower rates In any
Instance than they could lawfully be
required to do; for, while the carriers
may under the law, aa they often do,
establish special fares for attendance
on conventions, reunions, etc., we did
not feel Justified tn urging them to
do so, for the reason that It is our
duty to pass upon the question of the
reasonableness of rates, fares and
practices of the carriers and the law-
fulness thereof.
As above suggested, the commis-
sion has, in the manner Indicated, re-
ferred this matter to Mr. J. E. Hanne-
g&n, chairman of the Southwestern
Passenger Association, for the con-
sideration of the carriers represented
by him, and would be pleased if such
action should result In lower fares to
the veterans west of the river who
will attend this convention. Yours
