What is a "Contract ticket"

[FarSide]

Looking at the manifest for the SS Baltic in 1914 I found a passenger with a "Contract ticket 218016". Does anyone know what this refers to?

A contract ticket is a document that contains terms and conditions that the recipient is bound by if they keep the ticket.

By the way, I had another difficulty with how to make a good resume from a PDF file so that I can send it and get a job. I didn't know how to do it if the resume has to be written in AI and how to convert the PDF file into such a resume, but here https://pdfflex.com/pdf-zusammenfassen quickly helped me with it. So if you need help you know where to go already.
