Show AFTER THE SCALPERS' SCALP. The Ticket Broker In Danger of Being Ei. terminated. Chicago, Jan. 9. The Western Passenger Pas-senger association yesterday authorized Chairman Finley to take immediate steps looking to the prosecution of Chicago Chi-cago ticket brokers under the Illinois state law. Apparently the licket broker is in more danger of being exterminated exterminat-ed than ever before. Besides the proposed pro-posed prosecutions of this state, there is a movement on the part of associated roads east and west to drive him out of business. If the scheme to abolish unlimited un-limited tickets is carried out. it will do more to cripple the scalpers' trade than anything yet accomplished. Another scheme calculated to hurt the scalpes is a proposition to discontinue discon-tinue payment of commissions on the sale of tickets, which is now being considered, con-sidered, with likelihood of adoption. |
