eourt which culminated vesUTdav In the

of Indentiflcation Rule
Tho new rule of the Western Passenger
association requiring that tho new awo
iniio descriptive books be eold in person
to the party In whose namo they aro made
out has caused no end or troubla to
Western roads and llko so many unrea-
sonable restrictions embodied In associa-
tion rules seems to bo destined to the
uhclf in Its Infancy
An illustration of tho in effect ot this
ruling Is mown by a case In which ono
llrm sent > < to the general passenger
acent of a great Western sj stem and was
turned down because It could not line-
up a dczen salesmen scattered all over
the country and have them sign the books
in person as tho association requires mis
llrm went to the roads president about it
ti
Hi W > K j
with the result that the books were de-
livered unsigned The president look the
ground that tho rule might work Inlsomo
cases but when it came to throning away
fW worth ot business that Ids stocRhold
ers wero entitled to they were not going
to loso It simply to conform with sotno
association rule
Even now only seven days after the rule
wns made operative It Is said that nriy
number of the books havo found their
way Inlo tho hands of scalpers with tlio
description punohed medium widen
covers a multitude of sins as It were
Tho prevailing opinion In general passeng

secure a flnnl settlement of tho consti-
tutionality of tho Interstate Inwi lho
statement coming from high authority
further Insinuate that tho presidents

mission unconsciously wns made the cats
