osition from the Southern, the commis
sion at 5 o’clock Friday afternoon an
nounced that the order would become

The new board stated that It did
not see the necessity or the propriety
In Interfering with the flndtng of the
old commission. In this order It will
be remembered that ex-Commlssloner
Joseph M. Brown tiled a dissent as re
garde the three flrst classes.
At 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon T.
K. Scott, general manager of the Geor
gia railroad, concluded the argument
of the railroads before the commla
slon. All of the proceedings were ex
ecutlve.
'"How soon can we have a decision
from the commission?” asked Mr.
Scott.
"In a- very short time, I think," re
plied Chairman McLendon.
Deolslon Announced.
While the commission was consider
ing the matter, the railroad men waited
patiently In the lobby. At 6 o’clock
they were told that the commission
wns prepared to glvo them a decision.
The following order was then read:
"The commission has had under con.
slderatlon the request of the railroads
named In classes A, B and C, In circu
lar 334, for a postponing of the op
eration of that order,
"The records of the commission show
that the petition which resulted In or
der 384 was filed March 3, 1907, and
after notice was considered on at least
two different occasions, and at these
bearings every road In the state affect
ed by said circular was given a full
opportunity to be heard, and was heard
as fully as the roads desired to be
heard.
"Circular No. 334 was Issued and
promulgated on Juno 7, 1907, to become
effective September 1!">7. An appli
cation for Its reconsideration was in
formally made by the roads In the flrst
three classes on August 27, 1907, and the
whole of that dny was given to the ar
guments submitted by tho roads. The
commission offered to devote tho entire
time from August 27 to August SO, In
clusive, to a hearing of any evidence or
arguments which the railroads might
present.
"Having devoted tho entire day of
August 30, 1907, to the separate hearing
from each one of the roads embraced
In classes A. B anil C, during which
hearing the merits of the whole Iiur.s-
tlon were gone Into and considered,
and no sufficient reason having been
shown therefor, this commission de
clines to Interfere with circular 334.

tho evening of April 27, 1899, the day on
which the Federation of l.*ib<<r wns «»r-
nnlzed in Georgia, nnd on the following
.•ay. Just sixteen hours later, he wns for*
mnlly admitted to membership In the Geor
gia Federation of Labor. :
Although the young unionist has not yep!
definitely chosen his vocation In life, ho *
evinces a leaning toward the printer's ernft,
and Is nlwnys deeply Interested In the work
which his father does ns the editor of The

Charles E. Loomis, Aged
Typo, Passed Away
During Year.
5 When the monster fabor Day pa
rade winds Its -length through the
streets of Atlanta next Monday, there
will be one face missing which has
been familiar In union circles for more
than forty yoars.
It will be that of Charles E.'Loomis,
who was one of the veteran membTrs
of Atlanta Typographical Union No,
48. nnd who spent tho greater part of
his 65 years of Ufa at the typo case In
Atlanta until his advanced nge coili
polled him to lay down the stick and
rule. - ■ > ' V
Mr. Loomis committed suicide by
taking laudanum on tjio night of Do
uember SO, 1906. For several years
prior to hts death lie had been on tho
superannuated list of the Typographic,
al Union and had been an lnmato of
the Soldiers' Home.
When he became too feeble to take
nn active part In Labor Day parades,
Mr. Loomis, In company with the other
old members of the union, was not for
gotten and was given a seat either In
a wagon or a buggy nnd he was al
ways as enthusiastic ns his younger
nnd more active fellow craftsmen.

SOLD HIS COAT
TO BUY “DOPE 1
Trembling like a man with palsy, a
young man applied at the Grady hos
pital Saturday morning for relief from
the morphine habit, contracted about
three years ago. He Is only twenty'
two years old and Is a college gradU'
ate, but so strong a hold has the drug
habit on him that Friday he sold hts
coat In an effort to secure enough
money to persuade some druggist to
sell him a supply.
Falling In this, he came to the hos
pital. Ho was told that a email dose
of the drug would be given him to re
Move his sufferings temporarily, but
that was all that could bs done for
him.
But I don’t want any more of tho
stuff,” he sold, nervously. "I have
been cursed by It for three years and
I want to break away from It. What
want Is a doctor who will help mo
get on my feet again. I know I never
can do that while I am taking mor
phlne, for ae long os I can get that I
don't bother about anything else In
the world."
Unfortunately, »the hospital Is not
prepared to cmrt for such ennee, ns
the plan to have drug victims treated
at tho medical colleges has not been
perfected. The young man was given
a tonic substitute, but the physician
who talked with him said later that
he would sutler the torments of tne
damned for a month or more If he
kept away from morphine.

DEATH LOSS MAY
New York. Aug. 31.—The lives of all
the men. who were killed on the huge
cantilever bridge acroaii tho St Law
rence river Thursday afternoon might
have been saved If a telegram sent
from New York Thursday morning had
been received and heeded, according to
n statement made by Theodore Cooper,
who has been the consulting engineer
In charge of the work, since this, the
biggest cantilever bridge ever
tempted, was started seven years ago,
Mr. Cooper feels keenly the accl
dent that cost so many lives, and re
preaches himself for not having vis
Ited the work In two years, though his
III health hns kept him close to town,
nnd he luu. tried to obtain his release
from the responsibility of serving ns
the consulting engineer In this work
because of his poor health.
Thursday morning my Inspector came
down to my ofllce," sold Mr. Cooper,
"nnd told me that things did not look
well for the bridge. lie thought that
It ought to be looked Into. Immediate
ly 1 wired the man In clinrgo of the
work there to get off the bridge at
once and stay off until It could be ex
amined.
"1 don't know what happened to the
telegram. It may have been delivered
during the morning or the afternoon,
or It may be that the strlko of the
telegrapher^ tied It up until It got to
the bridge too Inte., I haven't received
any details of the accident myself. Tho
only word Is that the bridge has col-
lnpsed. I have ordered my Inspector
to go there nt once nnd gather all the
details he can."
Mr. Cooper Is one of the most distin
guished engineers In this country, a*
well hs one of the most experienced.
Ho Is 68 years old and has a splendid
record.
