COMMERCE COMMISSION TO
REOPEN PULLMAN CASE
Companies Renew Contention That Surcharge Is
Earned by Them.
Announcement from Washington that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission would reopen the Pull-
man surcharge case has caused concern to some rail-
road officials. For several years the question of the I
surcharge on Pullman fares has received a great deal
of attention in railway circles.
The elimination of the surcharge, it is stated,
would take $40,000,000 a year from the earnings of
the railroads, which represents roughly one-third of
the net earnings from the passenger service. Aside
from that, the officials assert that the charge is justi-
fied by the service rendered and that the railroad
should not he called upon to haul without charge
cars that hold from twenty to thirty-four passengers,
whereas the average day coach scats from fifty to
eighty passengers.
E. L. Bevington, Chairman of the Transcontinental
Passenger Association, recently made a statement of
the case for the railroads, and it is likely that the
question will be fought out along the line he indicated.
"The surcharge, so called for lack of a better
name," Mr. Bevington said, "is an extra charge due
to the fact that the cost of transporting passengers
in sleeping and parlor cars is relatively higher than
in coaches. The surcharge figures about one-third of
a cent per mile, and for convenience is made one-half
the charge for sleeping or parlor car accommoda-
tions. It is a transportation charge separate from the
charge for sleeping or parlor car accommodations
and the revenue goes entirely to the railroads."
He further pointed out that in reality it is not a
surcharge but merely a convenient way of stating
that there are two sets of fares, one for the day
coach passengers and the other for the Pullman
passengers.
"Taking the difference between the average weight
of a sleeping or parlor car and the average weight
of coaches, it means that in catering to sleeping and
parlor car travel the railroads haul the enormous
amount of 20,590,305,392 more tons one mile than if
the traffic had used coaches for the same distance.

An event to which close friends of I. N. Rice, popu-
lar piano man and representative of the W. P.
Haines & Co., New York, look forward with genuine
pleasure is the occasional dinner at beautiful Des
Plaines, a suburb of Chicago. Mr. Rice has a fine
farm at the place named, and it is his delight to
gather around him a number of his intimates and for-
get everything but the companionship which brings
cheer exceeding all that the Volstead foe gave in
days past. On Thursday of last week Mr. and Mrs.
Rice entertained in the manner indicated, and the
banquet proved one to which the recent Waldorff
affair was as a quick lunch. The table was set under
the spreading trees, and, while the Rice home has
playerpiano, phonograph and radio, most of the music
of the occasion was furnished by the birds.

The new addition to Donnelly's Music Store, West-
port, Conn., opened recently, provides the additional
floor space considered necessary for quite a while.
When Mr. Donnelly opened this store he felt he
would not have enough room, which was evidenced
after having been open but two weeks, and the con-
tract was immediately given for the addition, which
makes the store over one hundred feet long. The
business in Westport has been highly satisfactory to
Mr. Donnelly, whose main store is in Norwalk, Conn.
