The Huntington News-Democrat of last Friday said: Formal notice lias been given by the Erie railroad, through its general passenger agent, D. I. Roberts, that in consequence of violation of the joint passenger agreement by other roads, it considers itself no longer bound to the observance of the compact. The Erie road feels that it has at least two grievances. The rules on excess fates that apply to west bound trunk line flyers should, in its opinion, apply also to east bound trains between Chicago and New York. The Joint Passenger association failed to rule on this point at its recent meeting and the Erie and other differential lines feel agrieved. No retalliatory measures vet i been taken by the Erie. There is "little doubt, however, that a vigorous policy will be adopted by that company for the protection of their interests, and a passenger rate war may be started. > A special meeting of the city council was held at the rooms on Monroe street Tuesday evening, Mayor Beatty presided and Messrs.
