The controversy was precipitat last summer when the Southern railway cancelled through rates from the Central of Georgia rail way i$ connection with the South em railway on shipments through Atlanta. In effect, it is claimed, this would have closed the Atlanta Southern route to growers on the Central of Georgia railway, or a/bout 70 per cent of the growers in the state of Georgia. The interstate commerce com mission, in its decision, pointed out that the real motive for the Southern’s order was to force the Central of Georgia railway to route all its peaches over the Southern railway. Divide Shipments. The Central, in the meantime, had announced a plan to divide the peach shipments for the east ern markets, equally between the Southern railway and the Atlantic Coast Line railway and the Sea board Airline, two thirds of this business to pass through Atlanta, the other'one third through Au gust/ Under the decision, it is claim ed, the originating carrier routes the shipments and the old rates will apply no matter which rail road is used.
