Atlanta, Ga., September 21.—The
railroad eommlsalon will Investigate that
boycott Colonel Erwin will arrive to
day, and thla afternoon they will oonanlt
about the matter.
. Col. Powers Is already here, so Is Mr.
Knapp, the traffie manager of the Geor
gia Southern railroad, the company
whioh has been boycotted.
That something will be donels certain.
The only argument that the railroads
can employ la that the commission has
no authority to force them to act az
agents for another corporation or to
make them appoint another corporation
as their agent, as would be the case If
they are forced to sell the Georgia South'!
era railroad tickets and the Georgia
Southern sell theirs. But this 1* an
evasion of this qnestion at stake in
which the whole people are interested.
It Is a combination against the Georgia
Southern, not because they are afraid
the Georgia Southern will not pay them
for the tickets they sell, but because the
Georgia Southern la selling tickets over
it* line cbesper than the combination
wants them sold.
What ia easier than for the Richmond
Terminal to bottle rp the Georgia South
ern. They own every through line lead
ing Into Macon, and they oan refuse to
deliver freight to the Georgia Southern,
cripple It and buy It for a song. Macon
Is especially Interested In this question.
If the combination la allowed to do thin
they can ruin any road In Georgia not In
with them, and can absolutely prevent
the building of other lines.
This Is s foretaste of what may be ex
pected It the boyoott Is not Immediately
broken np. If, this afternoon, the com
missioners experience any doubt as to
their authority) a letter to tho governor,
asking him to present the matter to the
legislature would no donbt bring tbo
necessary legislation to defeat the scheme
to wreck and rain a competing lino ot
road.
