Show = I ROUGH ON DEADHEADS Formation of the Utah Passenger Pool A movement has been on foot for nearly near-ly a year past among the roads interested in eastbound passenger traffic from Utah for the formation of a passenger pool association as-sociation but all efforts have heretofore been fruitless When Messrs Bancroft Eccles left for Denver last week it was I intimated by the DEMOCRAT that the formation for-mation of a passenger traffic association had something to do with their trip and subsequent developments have shown this surmise to be well founded The following notification was received this morning by the ticket agents of the U P and D R G Western in this city DENVER March 1 1885 lime Union Pacific Denver and Rio Grande and Denver and Rio Grande Western signed an agreement here last night to pool the Utah passenger traffic from March 12 to December 31st 1885 I and agreed that all rates are restored tomorrow I to-morrow Please notify all concerned and acknowledge the receipt of this message mes-sage to the commission at Denver S W ECCLEL Genl > and T Agt D R G Western J W MORRIS Genl Pass Agt U P S I DANIELS Pool Commissioner A DEMOCRAT representative upon learning of the formation of this pool interviewed the officials of both the U P and D R G roads to ascertain what effect it would have upon the traveling public He was informed in-formed that the reference to a restoration of rates contained in the dispatch meant that under flic pool system the issuing of commercial permits special rates and passes would be curtailed to a great extent ex-tent Under the old system each road charges that the other has been cutting rates in order to secure traffic but this will all be prevented now and the suffering suffer-ing public will be compelled to put up full fare or show good reason why they should not Mr W E Burke freight inspector for the Utah traffic Association will probably act in the same capacity for the passenger pool and all disputes between the two roads in relation to the cutting of rates will be referred to him for settlement Under the new regime all special rates permits and passes must be countersigned counter-signed by G I Daniels the pool commissioner com-missioner at Denver The result therefore will be that a great many who have heretofore traveled on reduced rates and passes will hereafter be required to pay full fare Another movement of the soulless corporations against ualong suffering public |
