meetings of both freight and passenger
traffic departments of all the Southern
and Southeastern railroads, and It
expected that between 150 and 200 of
ficials will be present.
The meeting is expected to take place
at the Piedmont November 27, at which'
time two sessions will he held, followed
mii t*laln»rnt«* Iiiih’Immui. While tin
details of the meeting are yet In nn
embryo state, and the meeting Itself
uncertain, it is quite likely that it will
take place.
The object of the conference is to
discuss and decide upon some uniform
manner by which terminal charges may
be forwarded to the interstate com
merce commission. As It Is, now, these
charges are sent in to this organization
In the most haphazard and unsatisfac
tory manner, causing much trouble,
both to tho railroads and the officials
of the commission.
The coming conference Is to be at*
ranged by Judge J. C. Haskell, manager
of the Southeastern Car Service Asso
ciation. Judge Haskell said Friday
morning that he was not In a position
yet to give out any definite Informa
tion except that a strong effort would
be inode to get the railroad traffic of
ficials of both passenger and freight
departments together for a conference
that would bring tho relief sought
The convention hall at the Piedmont
has been engaged for November 27, and
It Is hoped that the meeting will take
placo at that time.
