GEORGIA AFTER SOUTHERN
INVESTIGATING WHETHER IT
CONTROLS THE CENTRAL.
Railroad Commission Demands Full
Disclosures Concerning Sale of
Latter's Stock.

ATLANTA, Ga, November 2-The state
railroad commission today issued an order
calling upon the Central of Georgia Rail-
road Company and the Southern Railway
Company for full disclosures touching
the sale of the stock of the former. SO far
as the facts may be known to them or
their companies, or appearing in the books
or documents in their possession
The commission also requested a COM
plete list of all stockholders of the Gem
trail of Georgia railroad at the present
time and at all times since October /.
1895. The desired information must be
furnished on or before November IL.
1t has been charged that the Southern
Railway Company owned a controlling in
terest in the Central of Georgia, contrary
to a state law prohibiting one line from
owning stock in a competing company.
and 1t is the purpose of the commission to
establish that fact If such is the case.
A story was published today in New
York creditng f. II. Hartman with pur
chasing for about S4,0D,000 the 81 oDo,FD
block of Central of Georgia stock recently
sold by Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden J.

LABOR UNIONS ACTIVE.

! Federation of Labor. to be he'd at Nor

with more than the usual interest by the
labor un ons of Washington. Among the
most important matters to be considered
by the federation are two which are of

| which is perhaps of chief significance
bears upon the controversy here over the

| 1t was stated last night that 1t is the
purpose of President Gompers of the
American Federation to have a conference
of all the heads of International organ
iZations affiliating with the federation and
that this conference shall select a strong
lobby to watch legislation before Con-
gress to prevent If possible the adoption
OF measures detrimental to labor; to S.
cure the enactment of laws favorable to
the "orklngmen, and to have supervision
OF an matters at the National capital
which in any way affect labor
The leaders of the organ: zation regard
the present as a favorable time to move
upon Congress. in view of the fact that
1908 Will be political year, when both par
Ties Will be wiling to make terms with an
organization of conceded strength and in
f1uence.
The contest here between labor unions
ana the employers will also be considered
at Norfolk, and steps taken to assist the
local workingmen. Organized labor is of
tAt opinion that the national manufac-
turers are behind the fight here FOR the

Effect of Storm on the River.

The heavy easterly storm of yesterday
caused the water in the river to back up
unusually high. Late yesterday evening
it was within few inches of the top of
the stone wall surrounding the Potomac
Park and was at standstil. Yesterday
afternoon all the low lands on the Vir-
ginia side of the river were under water to
the depth of several inches, but as far as
can be ascertained damage has been
done.
The easterly gale on the lower river and
Chesapeake bay is believed by the river
men to have been very severe and may
have resulted In marine disasters, re-
ports from which. if any occurred, will
not reach here until this afternoon or to-
morrow. In the past seven days the Poto-
mac has had two extremes of tide. The
water was SO low last Monday and Tues
day that all the shoal bars in the river
were exposed.
