Our readers have had the news
that the Culberson anti-pass
amendment to the railroad rate bill
was adopted. When the rumor got
abroad that the rate bill was to carry
an amendment that would kill the
free pass industry, a great howl went

Overman to see what could be done
in l he way of serving the free pass.
Well, the much dreaded Culberson
