ation Complain About

(Unlit Press Leased Wtrs.)
6alsm. Or, Feb. 1L -Tha' Commercial
Travelers' ' Protective association bas
brought suit before tha railroad; com
mission against tha O. R. A. N. company
snd ths Southern Pad fid 'company and
tne corvains a Eastern railroad com
pany to secure rssulatloa of the mile
age ticsete. .
It is claimed by ths association that
they arc only able to secure the mileage
tickets at ths full rate of , three cents
or mile; tliat the railroad companies
pi
keep the amount of rebate, parable VP'
on the return of the covers, for a great
length of time and that the scrip bureau
charges a fee for making the refund.
They also claim that ths conductors
ran to return the odd cents dus from
ths rive-cent coupon. ,
In addition to tha abova tha com
plaint recites that much annoyanes Is
caused by ths ruls which compels ths
snowing os signed identification sups
when Paying fare.
To do away with ths first mentioned
evils, the association suggests that a
1. 000-mlle Uoket be laaued oontelnlna-
t.000 J H -cent coupons at a flat rate
of $75 ''without rebate or drawback."
