Notwithstanding the attention which

You are Invited to pass judgment

believe that they are In good faith; II
you believe ten per cent. to be enough;
II you believe that they will pay the

must decide whether to return to work.

oner and continue the strike. John
Mitchell will be there to help you do It.

we shall more fully set forth the condi- tions that, in our judgment, Justify the ex- isting basis of rates in Alabama, even though it may involve some repetition
 1. With respect to the rates referred to in Exhibit A, filed with your petition, uhe rates shown in your statement are correct.
 In connection with the compsaris2n of t9s rates oh the Georgia Railroad with those applicable on the GouisviMe and Nashville road, it is proper to Say that the Louis vile and Nashville railroad does not oper- ate the Georgia railroad. 1t has only partial interest in the lease of that road, which is managed under the direction of board of directors elected by the joint lessees, which are the Louisville and Nash vile and the Atlantic Coast Line.
 It is not apparent why @ comparison should be instituted between the rates on the Georgia Railroad and the rates the Louisville and Nashville road. The two roads do not come in competition at any point, and there is no similarity of condi tions that would make the rates charged on the one road in any way a measure of the rates that should be assessed the other. The rates charged on the Georgia Railroad are tine lowest authorized to be charged in Georgia by the railroad conn msison of that state. The management of the Georgia Railroad are on record to the effect that their rates are too low and do not enable that road to earn a fair return upon it's investment. There has been no time during the past ten years when the

comparison of the rates charged by the Western railway with the rates of the At- lanta and West Point road shows the for- mer to be on the average 20 per cent. high- CT than the latter. The reports of the res suits of operation show the following:
 The tonnage of local traffic on the Atlanta and West Point is 342 per cent. greater than on the Western railway.
 The earning per mile on all traffic Is 40 per cent. greater.
 A comparison of the rates on the two lines should be made, having in view the larger volume of traffic and earning ca- pacity of the two lines as shown by these figures, which would seem fully to warrant the difference in the rates that now exist on the two lines of railroad.
 The railroad commission in Georgia has not adopted one tariff of rates for all roads in that state. What is designated the standard tariff applies to three roads, the ~-----~---~~-@-~-~-~~~~~

operations of the Georgia Railroad did not show a loss.
 The rates charged by the Louisville and Nashville road on its lines In Alabama are the same that 1t charges on its Mines in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and all other states south of the Ohio river except Florida, where the rates are higher than dn Alabama.
 It is a fact that during the period of four years prior to July l. 1898, the result of the operations Of the Louisville and Nashville road did not permit of any dfvi- dends being paid to its stocl1h holders. Those who are familiar with the methods and policy of the mana cement of the Louisville and Nashville road will not contend that the property has not during that time been skillfully and economically managed, and O basis of rates that does not admit of a profit in the operation of a railroad cannot be considered unreasonably or unjustly high.
 The law of Alabama recognize that the railroads are entitled to olange such rates as will enable them to earn a fair and just return on the value of the railroad its appurtenances and equipment.
 From statement of the operations of the Louisville and Nashville road for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, the revenue per ton per mile derived from the operations of the entire system was .739 cents, while in Alabama the average revenue per ton per mile was .639 cents. It will be seen, there- fore, that the rates charged in Alabama
