A movement Is on foot to bring to
Atlanta one of the most Important
meetings of both freight and passenger
traffic departments of nil the Southern
and Southeastern railroads, and it 1r
expected that between 160 and 300 of
ficials will bo present.
Tile meeting Is expected to take place
at the Piedmont November 37, at which
ttme two sessions will be held, followed
by an elaborate luncheon. While tho
details of tho meeting arc yet In an
embryo state, and the meeting Itself
uncertain, it Is quite likely thut It will
take place.
Tho 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 the railroads and the officials
of the commission.
The coming conference Is to be ar
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 made 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 37, and
It Is- hoped that the meeting will take
place nt that time.
