No Reduced Railway Fares
It was announced by Toronto rail-
way officials that all convention certi-
ficate plan arrangements with respect
to reduced fares on the railway this
Summer had been cancelled by the
Eastern Canadian Passenger Assonia-
tion. While this will have a matked
effect upon convention traffic! and
means a large loss of revenue to rail-
ways and hotels, the railway officials
pointed out that the action of the as-
sociation WU necessary to conserve
labor and fuel and incidentally place at
the disposal of the railway additional
motive power for the movements of
foodstuffs and munitions to the sea-
board.
