Note 18 — Chapter III · PASSENGER REBATES AND OTHER FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION IN PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

See, for example, the testimony of Stuyvesant Fish, President of the Illinois Central, before the United States Industrial Commission, calling attention to the fact that while railway officials could be prohibited by law from selling tickets below published rates, individuals could not be so prohibited, and that some railways sold their tickets to competitive points to brokers, paying them a commission for making the sale, out of which the brokers scalped the rate. (Industrial Commission, 1900, iv, p. 334.)
