Will
Protect Interests by
Commissions
Chicago, April 17.—The famous anti
commission. agreement signed ten
years ago by the presidents of the rail
roads In-the United States and Canada
been made and broken, and a big rail
way rate war Is on.
The Burlington system formally no-?
tified the chairman of the Western'
Fassenger association yesterday that,
"beginning at once, the Burlington will
take such steps in the direction of pay
ment of commissions as we find nec
essary to protect our interests."
This is the first time that any rail
road has openly declared that it would
pay commissions since the railway
presidents ten years ago agreed that
under no circumstances would they
pay a commission in any form on the
sale of tickets over their respective
lines.
100 Ride Tipket Cause.
The introduction of the 100 ride tick
et at a net rate of $6 and the with
drawal of the Burlington from the
anti-commission agreement makes in
evitable a bitter rate war between the
St. Paul-Chicago lines, which is ceatain
to extend to the roads from, Chicago to
the Atlantic seaboard. All the com
petitors of the Burlington will be forc
ed to pay commissions If they secure
any of the "steamship" business, and
from the payment of commissions on
that to all other classes of traffic is
but a short step. There Is nothing lii
the act to regulate commerce or In the
anti-trust law to prevent a railroad
from paying commissions to ticket
agents of another railroad or to any
body who secures business, provided
the pasenger or shipper does riot get
a portion of the commission.
