Four Atlanta locker clubs—the Geor gia Athletic, Southern. Bees, and Knight sos the Mystic Ark —refused permits by the city council, brought their test cases, attackirfg the validity of the municipality's new club ordi nance. to trial before Superior Judge Pendleton at I o'clock today. Attor neys for tiie clubs and City Attorney Maysmi said that new points were in volved ami the trial would not be con cluded before tomorrow. This action of the clubs is the third phase of tiie fight to put the city's suc cessive locker club ordinances out of business. The first case, won in the supreme court by the Union and Me chanics club, killed the first ordinance. The court declared the citv had no right to tax a locker club under its charter. The second case was won by the city several days ago, when the supreme court upheld Judge Pendleton in refus ing to enjoin the city from proceeding against the Georgia Athletic club. Subsequent to these eases, the city obtained a charter amendment granting the municipality increased power and giving the city the right to tax locker clubs. Attorneys for the four dissenting clubs said today that they would pin their case on grounds of discrimination, maintaining that the city council show ed rank favoritism in licensing some clubs and denying permits to others. Along this line they have asked the court to require ail the Atlanta council men to answer a series of pertinent questions, showing their relation with various and sundry local clubs. The city attorney will fight the case on the old lines of police regulation.
