The state railroad commission has
issued orders to several railroads in
the state to do Immediately some
repair work which was most impera-
lively needed. And just incidental
ly Chairman S. G.. McLendon of the
commission let out the remark that
Mr.. J. S. B. Thompson, assistant to
the president of the Southern Rail
way, knew what the commission
would do to those railroads who
should refuse to obey this order, as h
(McLendon) had told him (Thomn-
SON. Efforts made to get Mr. Thomp-
son to tell what terribly punitive
method the railroad commission held
in reserve having failed, nearly all
the principal railroads in the State
fastened to assure Chairman McLen-
don that they were willing and de-
sirous Of aiding the commission in
doing all that was possible and prop
er to protect the lives Of their pas-
sengers and employees. There was
only one road which declined, and
received it's defiance after the warn
ing threat casually made by the
chairman and guarded as secret
by Mr.. Thompson. The Georgia Rail
road, whose officials probably re-
membered having heard the story Of
the two teamsters, through Major J
B. Cumming, politely but most posi-
lively refused to comply with the or
der and defed the commission to
crack its whip and do its worst.
Possibly the sequel of this affair
will be the same as in the WAGNER
story. Possibly what McLendon told
Thompson was that the railroad com
mission was playing a big bluff, and
if the railroads should refuse to obey
its orders the commission would take
off its hat and say: "Well. gentle
men, if you won't do what we deo,~
necessary and have required, we will
step aside and let you do just as Won
please" And then won't the rail
roads which took their warning seri-
ously want to get somebody to kick
them, while The Georgia, smilin~
over its astuteness in having called
the bluff, will go blithely on with its
rotten ties and nilsson bolts
counting terrible catastrophe in its
rails
But possibly also the railroad COM
mission wasn't bluffing. Possibly its
members had not heard the story of
the wagoners, or did not try to work
this bluff racket. Just a suspicion
that this may be the case is convey
ed by Chairman McLendon's reply
to Major Cumming that this order Of
the commission was in effect a rule
