Business Mems league of Decatur and the
Commercial club OF New Decatur and the
business men Of the two Decaturs. have
written letters to the senator's and CON
gressmen from Alabama protesting
against the passage Of the bill now be-
fore Congress which proposes to cut down
the pay Of the railroad companies in the
south for transporting the mails The
senators and congressman from Alabama
have been asked to use their influence
to defeat the passage of the bill.
The business men here are opposed to
the bill from the fact that the rail-
roads say that they cannot carry the mail
any cheaper than they are now carrying
ii, unless they carry it on slower trains
This is objected to by Decatur business
men, because they say that it would re-
tard the transmission of their letters to
such an extent as to interfere seriously
with business.
