treating a disturbance.
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala. Aug. 20.—All dgi'
yesterday the people of this state dls
cussed with much interest the latest
move of the atate authorities. In the
clash with the federal court In the
railroad case. But few grasped the
true meaning of Attorney General
Garber's refusal to appear In the fed
eral court; few realised that It was
simply another shrewd move of Gov
ernor Comer In the Interest of state
rights. Late Saturday night friends
of the administration admitted that
Governor Comer waa acting wisely In
his latest stand and stated their be,
lief that the governor now has the
railroads In his power. Since the ad
joumlng of the legislature, the gov
ernor has threatened to reconvene the
lawmakers to prepare laws which can
be enforced, but he has not let any
one speak of bis strongest card, that
of prohibiting the moving of freight
trains In the state of Alabama on the
Sabbath day. The governor knows
that by holding such a law over the
heads of the railroad companies he Is
almost sure to force them to concede
to the present demands. The position
taken by the attorney general has
caused much talk. Declaring that It
was futile for him or other attorneys
to go Into the federal court represent
ing the solicitors and sheriffs of the
state, when the presiding Judge had
already prejudged the case at Issue,
the attorney general declined to ap
pear for the county officials who were
responding to the enlarged Injunction
obtained by the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad. Inasmuch as the state
was not represented Judge Jones made
his temporary order granting an In
junction permanent.
Louisville and Nashville railroad
men are much concerned as to the
probability of being arrested and late
Saturday night a delegation of em
ployees waited on Judge Jones for.the
purpose of finding out whether or not
the employees would in cose of ar
rest secure the protection of the fed
eral court. Judge Jones In
them protection, said:
"It Is popular sentiment,
least men think It Is popular, to talk
about arresting you In violation of
the order* of the court but when they
find out, os they will, that all good
cttltens are Indignant at the Insult
proposed to be put on you, and
through rou on all other laboring men
you will hear very little of It In the
future. • • • Moreover, the or
ders of this court were not made to be
disobeyed by anybody. Any one
knows the duty of a Judge when an
order of the court has been defied.
In view of the threats which
have been publicly made It Is emi
nently right and may save trouble
for me to say to you now. as I do
say, that If you are arrested, you will
be Immediately released on habeas
corpus, and the officer making the
arrest In contempt of the court will
be very severely punished, so that he
will remember It for a very long time,
under the power Invested In this
court by section 725 of the revised
statutes of th# United States, as soon
as the officers of the court can lay
their hands on him, and can have a
hearing before me. This la a land ot
law and order. The constitution and
laws are still supreme. The public
sentiment of this sfate and of other
states and the powers of the United
States are behind the orders this
court has made for your protection. 1
The Kansas City. Memphis end Bir
mingham railway today filed their for
mal petition In the United States court,
asking for a modification of their In
junction. so as to put Into effect the
21-2 cent passenger rate and the 110
commodity rate, thereby acceding to
the request of Governor Comer.
Five new United States marshals

say that the conditions art worss today
for tha companies than when the strike
was callsd.
'It le positively known that the Poetal
Company had planned to pull off a
stampede this morning. They failed
utterly. I repeat that those who are
working are on tha verge of collapse.
They have been up ntght and day. and
the demands on them are more than
any human being can stand. The

port after being paid on Friday. Yes

and higher official was working at tha
key at No. 166 Broadway.
"By the end of the week, unless a
settlement le made, the telegraph ajrs-
tema of the country will positively be
ont ot the commission, and I assure
you that this Is no Idle boast.”
