Protest Against Rate Reduction.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 6.-The recent prop
osition of J. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce the
passenger rate In Georgia from three to two
cents per mile was protested against by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Order of Railway Conductors and
unions OF the blacksmiths, machinists and
telegraphers, boiler-makers, railway train
men. carpenters and joiners. clerks and
car men. These organizations employed an
attorney especially to represent them, who
urged that such reduction would work
against the prosperity of the state and lead
to reduction in the number Of railroad
employees as well as Of their wages. The
Travellers Protective Association also pro-
tested that q reduction as proposed would
result In fewer trains and poorer service.
