ATLANTA FIGHT
AGAINST RAILROADS
The Atlanta. Constitution of yester
day said: ‘The Atlanta freight bureau
yesterday won during the special ses
sion of council the first of the series
of fights It wlU wage against all rail-,
road Interests until Atlanta is given
better freight rates.
‘The ordinance of the special com
mittee on the Washington street via
duct matter and the proposition of tht
Louisville and Nashville and other
railroads for terminal facilities, was
re-referred to the committee of which
Councilman Amorous Is chairman,
with Instructions to report during
council's first November session.
'This wsa dons at the request of the
Atlanta freight bureau and ita attor
neys, who had held a meeting before
tho session of council began.
"This probably means that there will
be no terminals Improvements made
by the Louisville and Nashville in At-
' lanta and that there will be no Wash
ington street viaduct until there Is an
adjustment of the freight rates quts-
tion.
"Members of the freight bureau also
announced that they will appear when
the Nelson street matter Is up and op-
. pose the granting of that concession
to the Southern railway until the
freight rate matter Is adjusted. They
declare that they will appear every
time a railroad asks for anything and
oppose the granting of It until the At
lanta merchants and manufacturers
are given better freight rates.
'They demanded yesterday that a
proviso be tied on to every contract
with the railroads and stated that they
wanted that proviso to bo thut the
contract was null and void unless At
lanta was given better rates for mer
chants and manufacturers.
"The members of the bureau ap
plauded every anti-railroad utterance
yesterday afternoon. About 100 of
them were present From the begin
ning of the session until the end It was
evident that they were agalnet tho pe
tition of the railroad and against the
ordinance which grantod it."
Speaking to the proposition of un
lawful reprisals. Mr. J. J. Bpsldlng In
part said:
1 assure you that It is a mistake to
proceed upon the presumption that tho
railroad cannot live without thle
change being allowed. 1 astture you
that it la a mistake to suppose that the
situation la auch that the city can by
the arbitrary use of a discretionary
power compel It to accept any terms
that passion and prejudlca may dic
tate
It Is true that the securing of this
change is desired by the rallrqad. It
is true that It would result In the build
ing of commodious terminals, and the
expending of a great sum of money
that would flow Into all the channels of
trade In this city, and above everything
else. It la true that It would be of the
very greatest service and benefit to
the trade and commerce of this city
In furnishing adequate and convenient
facilities for handling the same.
If this arbitrary power is exercised
ngslnst the railroad. It must inevitably
also Injure the city.
This other proposition of requiring
this company to waive Its rights to
have the courts Judicially determine* ita
disputes, ns a price for the city doing
Justice to it. Is simply monstrous. Just
consider the situation for a minute:
The Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company has no suit between it
and the city of Atlanta, it has not re
fused to obey any ordinance of the city
of Atlanta. It has not undertaken to
defy the municipal authority in any
shape or form; but has merely. In con
nection with other roads, sought to
prevent by decent, orderly. Judicial
procedure, what It and Its attorneys
believe Is a violation of Its rights under
the constitution und laws of the IJnltml
States and under the laws of Georgia.
Calls It Mob Lew.
The proposition to constrain It In
this behalf by the proposed use of the
arbitrary power of the city of Atlanta
Is a plain proposition for mob law. Such
conduct ns this educates the public
mind to a disregard und contempt for
all law—Is the direct forerunner and
cause of lynching of parties accusod of
crime. It proceeds upon directly the
same basis, to-wlt: the party claims
protection of the law, demands a trial
by the court, and a Judicial Investiga
tion—but this extra, outside Influence
says: "No, 1 say you are guilty. That
Is sufficient; there Is no need of any
trial, no need of any investigation—and
In tho exercise of this superior right
I will not permit the court to pass
upon it, but will arbitrarily taks you
by the throat and choke you into sub
mission. until you give up what you
claim are your legal rights and submit
to my arbitrary will. If It Is a criminal
case w« will march over the mllltln,

because we say he Is guilty and he !•
not entitled to have a trial.
This whole movement seeking rslier
along the lines of freight rates is be
ing pushed forward by a sort of mob
law. We have the spectacle of the
organisation of this city which Is push
ing the fight, sending out requests to
the manufacturers to come Into the
court room while the case Is being
tried before the Judge and Impress
their presence on the court. The only
object that could possibly be estab
lished would be to Influence a decision
by their physical presence in the court.
Personally. I am aa anxious to aee
the rat** adjusted so as to benefit At
lanta, and even to discriminate In her
favor, as it Is possible for sny of her
citizens to be. All that I have Is tied
with the future prosperity of At
lanta. but the fight will have to be con-
ducted o* different lines and against
different parties. In my own Judgment,
before any relief can be had. I ask
you to lay aside your feeling and any
prejudice you may have on the subject,
until I submit a plain statement of
facts and my view* of the remedy.
Interstate Commerce Law.
Right in this very building, this same
mercantile body that Is now moving
against the railroads for a reduction of
rates, was in session for the purpose of
petitioning Hon. N. J. Hammond, then
congressman from this district, to vote
for the Interstate commerce law. I told
them then that the passage of that law
would have two inevitable results—one
would be to consolidate all the' Inde
pendent lines In.this country Into a few
great systems; the other would be to
work to the great injury and hurt of
Atlanta in the matter or freight rates. I
claim no superior knowledge or fore*
Sight In this matter, but I was acting
upon the Information of the ablest
itlrond experts then In this country,
who said that Atlanta being farthest
away from the points that had water
cdmpetltlon, and farthest away from
gateways upon which rates are
based, would Inevitably .suffer from the
provisions of this interstate law.
Feeling was up then, and the reply
was that tbs railroads could have
plausible talks made by their attor
neys—that thle commercial body knew
what It wanted, and petitioned Mr.
Hammond to vote for the bill. It pass
ed congress, became a law, and the
same body In the city of Atlanta was
the first In the country to petition for
the suspension of Its provisions,
lanta has been suffering from that law
ever since It was passed, and will con
tinue to suffer as long as It exists as
law.
High and Low Rates,
Now. listen. It is not a proposition of
whether the rate Is high or low that
affects Atlanta so seriously. That
question Is serious to the railroad, be
cause when It goes down too low It
confiscates Its property, but with the
city It Is a question of comparative
rates with other points—and If by any
Hort of power of coercion you can force
down the Interstate rate to Atlanta,
this Interstate commerce law Inevita
bly will follow It up by forcing down
the relative rate to these other points
loser to water competition, and
you wljl hove the same relative disad
vantage that you have now. The only
difference will be that you will have
onflscate(J to that extent the prop
erty of the railroads.
The present movement does not ap
peal to the enforcement of law. but Is
nn effort to secure relief In spite of the
law. It is an effort to secure relief
against the provisions of the Interstate
law, and In spite of the constitution
and laws of the United States. Some
of the Interests most vehemently sup
porting It proceed like a great big
leather-headed mad bull, that Just
shuts his ayes and- butts through an
evergreen hedge to find that he la up
gainst a rock wall.
Relief lies In . an Intelligent effort to
repeal or amend this provision of the
Interstate law, that operates according
to the relative position of the cities as
lo their proximity or distance from
water competition—this law that was
petitioned for by the very commercial
body that Is now so wrought up over
the Inevitable results of that law. Tou
cannot get relief by physical fores or
by mob law.
Clod knows, this whole country has
buffered enough from lynch law. and
especially we of the South, who ars
misrepresented and lied about for this
great evil th.it blights and curses all
sections of our country. I^et us get
away from It. Let us uphold the law.
There is no other way to keep society
together. There is no other way to
protect the life, the liberty or the
prosperity of the cltlsens. We must
proceed in order and decency, accord
ing to law, and not allow any appeal
to passion or prejudice to Influence the
oily council to undertake to mob
lawsuit.

first, and but for the railroads Atlanta

would never have bsen heard of. The
mutual friendship between the city and
these roads is Indispensable to the
future prosperity of both, and Is es
pecially necessury to the future great
ness of our city. When a new line
comes In here and spends its hundreds
of thousands of dollars and proposes
these enormous developments and fur
ther expenditures, do not slap it In the
face nnd turn It away, but treat it as
you have done In the past when other
enterprises cams he^s. Patience and
conservatism, and above everything.
Justice will succeed much quicker,
much more efficiently, than all the vio

that can be proposed.
