Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 2#.—All d»y
yesterday the people of this state dii-
cusaed with much interest the latest
move of the state authorities, In the
clash with the federal court In the
railroad case. But few grasped the
true meaning of Attorney General
Garber's refusal to appear In the fed
eral court; few realized that It was
simply another shrewd move of Gov
ernor Comer In the Interest of state
rights. Late Saturday night friends
of the administration admitted that
Governor Comer was acting wisely In
his latest stand and stated their be,
lief that the governor now has the
railroads In his power. Since the ad
journing of the legislature, the gov
ernor has threatened to reconvene the
lawmakers to prepare laws which can
be enforced, but he has not let any
one speak of hie strongest card, that
of prohibiting the moving of freight
trains In the state of Alabama on the
8abbath day. The governor knows
that by holding such a law over the
heads of the railroad companies he Is
almost sure to force them to concede
to the present demands. The poeltlon
taken by the attorney general has
caused much talk. Declaring that It
was futile for him or other attorneys
to go Into the federal court represent
ing the solicitors and sheriffs of the
slate, when the preeldlng Judge had
already prejudged the case at Issue,
the attorney general declined to ap
pear for the county offlctala who were
responding to the-enlarged Injunction
obtained by the Loulsvltle and Nash
ville railroad. Inasmuch aa the state
waa not represented Judge Jones made
his temporary order granting an In
Junction permanent.
Louisville and Nashville railroad
man are much concerned as to the
probability of being arrested and late
Saturday night a delegation of em
ployees waited on Judge Jones for the
purpose of finding out whether or not
the employees would In case of ar
rest secure the protection of the fed
eral court. Judge Jones In assuring
them .protection, said:
"It Is popular sentiment, or at
least men think It Is popular, to talk
about arresting you In violation of
the orders of the court, but when they
find out, aa they will, that all good
citizens are Indignant at the Insult
proposed to be put on you, and
through rou on all other laboring men
you will hear very little of It in the
future. ... Moreover, the or
ders of this court were not made to be
disobeyed by anybody. Any one
knows the duty of a Judge when an
order of the court has been defied.
In view of the threats which
have been publicly made It Is eml
nently right and may savs trouble
for me to sty to you now, as I do
say, that If you are arrested, you will
be Immediately released on habeas
corpus, and the officer making the
arrest In contempt of the court will
be very severely punished, so that he
will remember It for a very long time,
under the power Invested In this
court by section 725 of the revised
statutes of the United States, as soon
as the officers of the court can lay
their hands on him, and can hare a
hearing before me. This Is a land of
law and ordsr. The constitution and
laws are still supreme. The public
sentiment of this state and of other
states and the powers of the United
States are behind the orders this
court has made for your protection.
The Kansas City, Memphis and Blr
mlngham railway today filed their for.
mol petition In the United States court,
asking for a modification of their In
junction, so as to put Into effect the
21-2 cent passenger rate and the 110
commodity rate, thereby acceding to
the request of Governor Comer,
Five new United States marshals

he did not arrive In the city from Daw

other commissioners were on hand be
fore the hour fixed for the meeting.
Mr. Callaway and Judge Hillyer had

In calling the commlizlon to order,
Chairman H. W. Hill said: '
"Before putting the motion of Com
missioner Stevens, placing Mr. McLen
don In nomination for chairman ofthe
reorganized board, I zhould like to
make a few obeervatlonx. In point of
service I am the oldezt commissioner
on the board, having served four yean,
two of them as chairman.
"I have endeavored- to do my full
duty In discharging the duties Imposed
on me. That I have made mistakes Is
probable. The only man who never
erred was crucified. It may be that
we will make mistakes, but I believe
they will be mistakes of the head and
not of the heart. This commission
comes with the big purpose of carry
ing out the new law, as the old com
mission endeavored .to administer the
old law. The old commission asked re-
peatedly for Increased powers- but the
legislature failed to give. it.
He said that the first vote he ever
cast was for Judge Hillyer as a dele
gate to a national Democratic conven
tion. He said that Mr. Callaway was
bom within a few miles of where he
lived and that their mothers had been
lifetime friends.

Prospects Bright.
"The week opens with the brightest
possible prospects for the etrikera. We
have agents within earshot of every
official of both companies, and, there

say that tha conditions are worse today
for tha companies than when the atrika
waa called.
It la positively known that the Poetal

stomped* this morning. They failed
utterly. I repeat that those who era
working are on the verge of collapse.
They have been up night and day, and
the demands on them era more than
any human being can stand. The
Western Union abolished the double
pay system today. Ona-balf of tha
force working last week failed to re
port after being paid on Friday. Yes
terday and today every chief operator
and higher official was working at the
key at No
o. 155 Broadway.
By tbe end of the week, unless a
settlement Is made, the telegraph sys
tems of th# country will positively be
out of the commission, and I assure
you that this is no Idle boast."
