MIR Cam Immediately called the COM
miUtee together and laid the communion
tions before them, including the previous
letter of Secretary Upper, which was
| published in yesterdays MORNING News.
| The committee decided to accept the sug-
gestion of the executive board of the
| Tariff association and instructed the
| chairman to arrange for a conference be-
| tween the committee and the board in At
| lanta on Friday morning. There was a
! full meeting of the committee. ana Judging
from the expressions of the members
practically the whole committee will at
| tend the conference in Atlanta.
Chairman Cam was asked why the
committee did not request that the con-
ference be held in Savannah He replied
that it was about as fair for one side as
the other, as the insurance men would
| have to come to Savannah if the confer
ence were held here 1t is possible that
it may require more than one conference
to finally adjust matters, in which case
the second meeting will probably be held
| in Savannah
