AGENTS OF MILHOADS
CANVASSING SHIPPERS
FOB INCREASED RATES
Fact That Some Have Been
Persuaded Not to Object Is
Made to Appear as Argu
ment in Favor of Increases
One of the most interesting develop
ments In the hearing by the railroad
commission of the petition of the rail
roads of Georgia for a general increase
In Georgia Intrastate freight rates,
which hearing was commenced last
Thursday morning, is the fact that the
railroads have sent their agents over
the state to solicit indorsements of the
pro|>osed Increases from shippers in
email towns.
This fact was brought to light yes
terday by an attempt, on the part of the
railroads, to make the absence of pro
tests from these shippers, thus inter
viewed by the agents of the railroads,
appear as a reason why the commission
should allow the railroads to charge the
increases they propose.
Randall Clifton. assistant freight
traffic manager of the Southern rail
road. was on the witness stand, testify
ing in support of the railroads' petition,
iferrll Callaway, chief counsel for the
railroads, asked him what he could state
with regard to the sentiment of ship
pers over the state concerning the pro
posed new rates.
In reply to this typewritten question.
Mr. Clifton read a typewritten answer
to the effect that “a careful canvass of
sentiment at a majority of shipping
points enables me to say that the peo
ple show a lack of interest in or oppo
sition to the proposed revision."
W. A. Wimbish. chief counsel for the
Georgia Shippers' association, which
represents the shipping interests of the
entire state and which is resisting the
increases proposed by the railroads, im
mediately objected to Mr. Clifton giving
any such testimony.
LAWYERS IN HOT CLASH.
•'How. can the absence of a protest
from any group or class of shippers,
whose only information was furnished
them by agents of the railroads, have
any bearing on the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of the rates which the
railroads propose?" demanded Attorney
Wimbish.
Attorney Callaway replied that where
all shippers are affected and where only
a- few object, then It is logical to sup
pose that the proposed increases will not
work a genera! injury.
Attorney Wimbish came back*with the
proposition that the reasonableness* of
the rates proposed by the railroads is
a question to be determined by the rail
road commission, which is. the body cre
ated by law for that purpose.
At this point Railroad Commissioner
Perry put in this question:
“What Is the source of your informa
tion. Mr. Clifton, regarding the atti
tude of shippers?" to which Mr. Clifton
replied:
“My information Is based on inter
views T have had and on reports of re
sponsible representatives who gave the
people the facts.” to which Commis
sioner Perry inquired:
"Did you and your representatives
present the proposed revision as a
scheme to remove discrimination, which
you claim exist, or did you tell them
that the proposed new rates will in
crease your revenue, which l_l>elieve
you admit?”
“As to the representatives o£ all the
roads. I cannot state positively what
they told the shippers,” said Mr. Clifton.
!'but I know that the representatives of
the Southern railroad had instructions
to explain to the shippers why the ad
vances are proposed."
COMMISSION CONFERS.
At this point Commissioner Candler,
chairman of the commission, observed:
"The question raised, as I see it. is
whether or not Mr. Clifton can testify
as to the state of public opihion toward
the proposed new rates. I think the
commission had better confer on that
question.”
While they were conferring, and be
fore they had reached a decision. Attor
ney Callaway, asking leave to interrupt,
said:
“It was not in the back of my mind,
your honors, to attempt to bring popu
lar opinion to bear upon your judgment
in this case But since my question and
Mr. Clifton's answer have been given
that color, or the semblance of that col
or. I would like to withdraw the ques
tion and the answer from the record.'*
This was agreeable, and the question
and the answer were withdrawn.
Although the hearing has been under
way only three days, already the issues
of the case, which is the most important
and far-reaching rate case ever tried in
Georgia or any othqr southern state, are
taking definite forYn
The railroads contend that their pro
posed revision of Georgia intrastate
freight rates is made necessary by the
fact that interstate freight rates in-the
southeast were readjusted on January 1,
and that Georgia rates must conform to
these new southeastern rates.
THE SHIPPERS' ISSUE.
Here the shippers raised two ques
tions:
First, is the proposed revision of
Georgia intrastate freight rates pri
martly intended to make Georgia rates
conform to the new southeastern rates?
er.
Second, is the proposed revision of

EDO CATTLEMEN WILL
GOME TO CONVENTION
Fred Hauser Returns From
Shreveport With'Plans for
‘ Atlanta in 1917
Fred Houser returned from th# South
ern Cattlemen's convention at Shreve
port. La., Saturday, bringing with him
the plane for the 1917 convention, which
will be held in Atlanta August 16, 17, 18.
Vicksburg and Little Rock were Atlanta's
two opponents in the bids for the IM J
convention, but withdrew in favor of
the "convention city.” when the time
came for balloting.
Mr. Houser announces that Atlanta is
expecting to bring 600 cattlemen to her
gates in 1917, and Georgia will imme
diately start a campaign for membership
in the association, the object being to
increase the membership in Georgia by
100 members before the next conven
tion.
The meeting in Shreveport was highly
successful and proved of great value to
the breeders and farmers interested in
the movement to bring to the south the
finest breeds of beef cattle.
Three hundred delegates registered at!
Shreveport, and the federal government'
sent experts in cattle breeding, tick erad
ication and animal industries to give r ti
llable suggestions and hints to the cat
tlemen gathered there.
The prime object of the Southern Ca>
tiemen's association, Mr. Houser says, is
to introduce into the south the finest
breeds of cattle. Experts have proven)
that in this way the quality and weight
per head is greatly increased. The cat-1
tiemen are also waging a war on the!
cattle tick, the crusade being one of im-j
mediate interest and significance to all
southern farmers.
One of the features of the Shreveport
convention was a huge barbecue at the
fair grounds, which was prepared by ex
perts. Mr. Houser says, though perhaps
not by government experts. •
After the convention was over, many
of the prize heads of beef cattle on ex
hibitidh were sold to the delegates.
Posse Reported to
Have Killed Negro
i Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
VALDOSTA. Ga., Aug 19.—1 tis re
ported In the section above here that
Lewis Jones, a negro who entered the
home of Will R. Peters with a bludgeon '
for the purpose of murdering Peters and
his wife, and who was frightened away
by Mrs. Peters whose streams woke her
husband, was caught in a barn at Tom
Batty's place and w«.s killed by the
posse which captured him.
Mr. Peters followed the negro nearly
all night and fired at him several times
while the negro was swimming the river.
The negro was located ten miles from
the scene of his offense.
The officials here are Investigating the
case now.
Georgia rates in reality intended for
erate soldier and his widow, and three
quarters of a million to the helpless
and insane.
e The state collects this money and
sends the greater part of it back to
the purpose of increasing the revenue
of the railroads in Georgia?
Should the railroads base their pro
posed revision solely upon the south
eastern-readjustment. then the shippers
will contend as follows:-
That the southeastern readjustment
originated with the railroads;, that it
increased the revenue of the railroads;
that the interstate commerce commis
sion did not approve the reasonableness
of the new southeastern rates, but only
allowed the railroads to put them into
effect subject to complaint by shippers;
that the shippers of Atlanta and other
southern cities are now attacking the
southeastern readjustment; that these
cases are pending before the interstate
commerce commission; that the interstate
commerce commission may decide that
the new southeastern rates are unrea
sonable, and order*them out; therefore,
that the railroads should justify the
new southeastern rates before the in
terstate commerce commission, before
they ask the railroad commission of
Georgia to authorize a fundamental re
vision of Georgia rates in accordance
with the new southeastern rates.
But should the railroads base their
proposed revision upon the ground that
its object is to increase their revenue
in this state, then the shippers wilr
contend that they must prove that they
are entitled to an increase in revenue,
and must justify the enormous in
creases which, according to the statis
tical bureau of the Georgia Shippers’
association, the proposed new rates will
produce.
THE RAILROADS' ANSWER.
Up to this time, the railroads have
based their proposed revision on neither
the one ground nor the other, but have
attempted to base it upon both grounds.
Replying to the argument that "Geor
gia rates should .not be revised to con
form to the southeastern readjustment
until the southeastern readjustment has
been finally approved by the interstate
commerce commission, they contend
that should the southeastern readjust-,
ment and the Georgia revision, after
thorough test, prove unreasonably hjgh.
then there is a sufficient margin in the
new rates to allow for a substantial re
duction.
As to the increased revenue which j
the proposed Georgia rates will yield
the railroads, the contention of the rail- , (
roads on this? point developed yes- j
terday by some questions asked Mr. i
Clifton by Commissioner Perry.
"Then the rates you propose will in
crease your revenue?” Commissioner
Perry asked Mr. Clifton, at a certain
point in the latter's testimony.
"Yes, that will be the immediate ef
fect.” answered Mr. (Jlifton.
"How much will your revenue be in
creased on fertilizer, for instance?” ask
ed Commissioner Perry.
"I do not know."
"Assuming that it will be an Increase
of tROO.OOO per year, which estimate
has been published. how would you I
justify such an increase?”
"REGARDLESS OF INCREASES."
“We take the position.” stated M. Cllf- !
ton. ."that if rates are abnormally low •
they should be raised to a proper stan- ;
dard, regardless of how much our reve- |
nue is increased.”
Attorney- Callaway yesterday announc
ed a program of subjects to be presented
by the railroads this week. This pro
gram include« the presentation of pro
pose 1 class rates and rate bases from
a number of Georgia cities. The pro
gram is subject to change, but not like

LEADS TO FEDEfIAL PROBE
Department of Justice Will In
vestigate Conditions in
Southern States
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON Aug. 19.—Investiga
tion of complaints that a combination
in violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law is responsible for the low price of
cottonseed throughout the south, has
been begun by the department of jus
tice.
The complaints came principally from
Texas and Alabama but the whole south
is involved and the investigation will
not be confined to thes’te two states. The
information given the department was
general in character and no facts were
furnished to show who is supposed to
be responsible for the low price of seed.
Cotton growers wrote the department,
however, expressing their conviction
that the depression in price is due to ar
tificial conditions.
The department made a thorough in
vestigation of similar complaints about
a year ago and collected much informa
tion tending to show that cottonseed
prices had been depressed unnaturally.
This information was convincing on its
face but was not deemed weighty
enough to warrant court proceedings
and no action was taken. The informa
tion then obtained, however, will be
used in the present investigation.
Daughter of American
-Woman Is Freed From
Charge of High Treason
————
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The release
from prison in Vienna of Miss Alice
Masaryk, daughter of an American
woman, who was charged with high
treason, was announced here tonight by
Alexander von Nuber, Austrian consul
general. Miss Masaryk, it was said,
was freed July 3.
Miss Masaryk is a daughter of Pro
fessor Thomas G. Masaryk, of Prague,
who married a daughter of Rodolphe
Garrigue, a New York banker. Dr.
Masaryk is living in England, where he
fled soon after the outbreak of the war.
His daughter's arrest, it has been
charged, was due to the fact that on
her father’s departure from Prague she
took charge of his library.
Dr. Masaryk is a staunch advocate
of Bohemian nationality, and attracted
attention by his attacks on the treat
ment by Austria of the southern Slavs
and of the manner of the annexation of
Herzogovino.

WOMAN LAWYER MEASURE
SIGNED WITH CEREMONY
Governor Harris Uses Gold
Pen, Which He Presents
io Mrs. Hale
In the presence of several Atlanta
■ suffrage leaders and advocates of wom
en's rights, Governor Harris Saturday
morning signed the bill which allows
women to practice law in Georgia.
A new law becomes effective the day
after the governor signs it, so that wom
en who want to practice law in this state
| can go right ahead after midnight Sat
-5 urday.
The woman’s lawyer bill, or house bill
No. 79, as it was designated, was intro
duced by Representative Cooper of Ware.
It passed by an overwhelming majority
and the senate also passed it by a vote
of 26 to 12 on the last day of the ses
sion.
The governor signed the bill with a
gold pen. Just before he dipped into the
ink, he raised his head and jocularly
I remarked, “If anyone has ought to say
i why I should not sign this bill, let him
[ speak now or forever after hold his
I peace!”
There were no remarks.
The gold pen was presented to Mrs.
M. A. Hale, the woman graduate of the
Atlanta Law school who petitioned the
superior court for admission to the bar,
was refused, carried her ease to the su
preme court and was again refused. Mrs.
Hale realized her fondest wish when
the governor signed the bill. She an
nounces that she intends to “hang out
her shingle" next week, but will take
only office practice.
"The next thing I want is votes for
women,” said Mrs. Hale, as she thanked
the governor for the pen.
The pen that was used to date the bill
will be presented to Miss Laura Ber-
I rien, an employe of the tax division of
the United States treasury department
and an honor graduate of the Washing
ton College of Law. Miss Berrien has
been admitted to the bar in the District
of Columbia. Since the passage of the
Georgia law she has stated she is com
ing to Atlanta to practice.
Present when the bill was signed Sat
urday were Mrs- Amelia Woodall. Mrs.
E. L. Martin, Mrs. Mary L. McLendon,
Miss Annie Larkin, Mrs. Byrington
King and Mrs. M. A. Bennett.
Secretary Wilson Says
Labor Will Not Stand
For Conspiracy Laws
(By Associated Press.)
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 19.—Sec
retary of Labor Wilson, speaker at a
machinists’ outing here today, in dis
cussing the recent action whereby
Bridgeport foundry owners, alleging
conspiracy, obtained an injunction
against the Moulders’ union, forbidding
picketing, declared:
“Organized labor will not stand for
the restoration of the conspiracy laws
in the United States. For six hundred
years labor fought conspiracy laws. In
1875, in Pennsylvania the last con
spiracy law was put out of business.
“Employers began to look around for
something to take its place. An in
junction was given • in Massachusetts,
because working men maintained the
right to strike when shorter hours and
better wages were not granted. In
junctions have been granted since.
“With all due respect to the courts. I
say organized labor will not stand for
this.”
The secretary predicted a national
eight-hour day for all crafts and urged
continuous fighting for this issue.
