The Commissioner of a minor railway pool at Chicago, after sending out men to purchase cut-rate tickets of all descriptions, summoned the Genoral Passenger Agents and let them wrangle for six hours over the evidences of bad faith. Then they voted to cling to the tariff and let the Commissioner inflict penalties for past misdoeds. The Erie Railroad’s net earnings last year were #7,057,868.
