to the latter that their wages viii be restored at the
| expiration of that time and they naturally feel
end Of the run are inclined think that the Achison
people feel sore all over AMI want to lay some OF
their troubles at the door OF the Missouri PaclLc'
| The facts however, will not bear them OUT
THEY WILL OBEY THE COURTS ORDER
RICHMOND AND WEST POINT TERMINAL PEOPLE
DO NOT THINK TIE DECISION CONCERNING
EAST TENNESSEE CAN STAND, HOWEVER
| An informal meeting of the Executive Committee
OF the Richmond and West Point Terminal
Railway was held yesterday but by the
| absence OF President Inman and one or
| two other members II became mere
consultation of persons supposed to be deeply In
terested in the East Tennessee, Richmond and Dan
villc and Richmond Terminal Companies. Tho full
OF the decision by the Tennessee court, restrain
ing the lease of the East Tennessee TO the Richmond
and Danvile had not been received and consequently
positive opinions about II were expressed General
Samuel Thomas said after the meeting:
We shall obey the orders OF the court and. II
they what the published dispatches say, we shall
the management of the East Tennessee to its
proper officers before the end Of the week No, there
was no important change in the board at the recent
election and perhaps the change IN control VIII not
be very great, but bound, as law-aoding
citizens 10 obey the orders OF the court, even II we
appeal from the decision the next day. OF course
the will be carried up"
prominent officer of the East Tennessee Company,
speaking about tho probable result, said: 1.-THE
Chancellor of prohibited the lease on the
ground that It was contrary TO the State Law for
bidding the union OF competing lines. What the
judgment of the Supreme Court viii be may be guessed
from a dispasslonate consideration OF few simple
facts. The State law applies only 10 paraIol INES
In the State the Richmond and DanvlDe does NOT
own mile Of railroad In Tennessee, and consequently
cannot be subject to the law There IS no reason to
suppose that the decision will not be promptly over
ruled.D
| CHAIRMAN MIDGLEY's MISSION IN NETWORK.
| Chicago. Nov. 26-J. W. Midglcy, chairman Of the
Western Freight Association arrived homo today from
Ncv-York where he has been In consultation with
| Jav Gould and other railroad magnates. The con-
| ference has given rise 10 many rumors concerning
| plans that supposed to be under consideration
| for the improvement Of tho rate situation In the
! territory traversed by the Atchson, the missouri
| Pacific and other Southwestern systems. While MI
! Mldgey said he was not at liberty TO disclose the
real objects and results Of the conference. he spoke
OF the various published reports as If they wero not
entitled to serious consideration and incidentally
called attention tho fact that tho Transconnentai
Association TO which these Southwestern systems be
long IS to-day the best railway organization In the
| country so far as maintaining agreements and Cd
serving fixed rules ar~ concerned. He THINKS the
gossip about rate agreement grew OUT OF ns
dents Of the roads interested In Texas traffic A
meeting of the clsht department OF me aHs n
be held in Chicago this week. for tho purpose OF making
the necessary preparations to put the advanced rates
into effect early in December
| CHECK TO SOUTHERN RAILROAD MONOPOLY.
Tho recent decision Of Judge speer, OF the United
states Circuit Court, given at Macon, Ca which oe-
| clared tho purchase OF the Savannah, Dublin and
Western by the Central Railroad Of Georgia TO be
Illegal and void is regarded in some quarters as having
an important bearing the later acquisition OF tho
| Georgia Central by the Richmond and West Point
| Terminal Company The decision Is based on para
graph In the Constitution Of the state which foroids
any agreement which may have the effect or be In
tended 10 have the effect, to defeat lesser COM
petition in their respective businesses, or TO encourage
monopoly, and all such contracts or agreements snail
be Illegal and void
The fact that both the Georgia Central and the
Dublin Short Line companies chartered By the
state probably brings them within the law but the
| application TO the case OF the Richmond Terminal
and the Georgia Central companies Is not considered
| plain.
