dent of the Nashville. Chattanooga ana
ST. Louis road. of Nashville. was chair
man. Secretary w. J.. McGill, Of Atlanta
reported that the tentative agreement to
restore rates until September lst, after
the cutting which prevailed from June lst
until the July meeting. had been signed
by all but about a dozen roads, whlch
are apparently waiting the outcome OK the
present session.
As the meeting adjourned soon after
roll-call until 10 o'clock tomorrow, IL is
evident the session is TO last two or
three days.
OF the forty or more corporate interests
represented in the association. all but
eight were on hand at the roll-call, In the
person Of president or prominent traihc
officer, the Atlanta and West Point, the

TIA 'fd commissioner unless some oppo-
nent for the place and the salary OF
