Atlanta, {

day when Governors t1Iein u .,.4,. --.--= olina, Conner of Alabama and Smith 3f Georgia, with their attorneys general. meet in the office of Governor Smith nt the capitol to discuss the transportation situation in the south. Governor Smith mas received information from the other two governors to the effect that they can be here on Friday. and the conference will doubtless last from noon until late at night.
 The governor declines to discuss what will be the course of treatment by them of this great subject. It is understood that inasmuch as each Of these states has reduced the passenger rates and none of them the same, they will endeavor to get together upon some basis as to the conflicting laws. In view of the fact that there is pending litigation in each state on account of these reductions the confer ence will be watched with interest. So far the Georgia commission is ahead in that the Georgia reductions are In force, while the other state rates are tied up by liti- gation. The governors will probably ar rive here on Friday morning and leave Saturday afternoon. Atlanta was selected on account of it's central location. The trio are very anxious that Governor Swanson of Virginia and his attorney general shsll attend this conference 10 present the Virginia situation, but so far nothing definite has been heard from him.
