After the first of the year there will be no moro ex change of courtesies between officials. Hereafter If a pass Is needed not de sired, but needed application will be made "to the proper authorities through the proper authorities." In the first place the rule promulgat ed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission five year ago that transporta tion shall be issued only to accredited railroad officials or employe and membor of their families will be ad hered to more strictly than ever, but It will be necessary for all minor officials and employes to. mak application through th heads of their respective departments. Tha application must be lKned by the head of the trafflo de partment as well as tha executive head of tha road, and the request must go direct to tha corresponding officials of th road to which application Is made.

In the past It has been customary for officials of all the roads to send "an nual" passea to officials of other roads whom they wished to compliment- Sometime tha list of these compli mentary passes covered every road In the country. The tickets were Rood for a year and provided transportation. usually, for the officials "and family. The railroads made no distinction be tween allied lines and competitors. All were honored alike. Usually these "an nuals" were mailed in time that they would reach the recipient about Christ mas time. A season's accumulation of such tickets averared about 60 for the higher officials and a corresponding number for- men occupying; places of lesser Importance. Now all this is to be done away with.

' The heads of the various roads now. are compiling- lists of their officials and employes who are likely to require transportation within the year and will forward them to the roads from which transportation is deelred. None of the local lines Is asking: anything: for which It is not likely to have use. So It is likely that little transportation will be issued hereafter that is not ac tually needed. Requests for special-trip tickets will have to go through the prescribed rou tine, which Is subject to numerous de lays.
