UPHOLDs COMMISSION.

 cislon.


 Atlanta, Ga. July 12-The Supreme Court of Georgia late today rendered an important decision upholding the right of the State Railroad Commission to establish continuous mileage rates over two connecting lines, one of which is owned. managed or controlled by the other.
 The case was that of the Wadley Southern Railroad Company against the Commission. in which District Judge Gober held against the Commis- sion's right to enforce such rates.
 Last October the commission. after a full hearing of the subject in which 1t was shown that the Central of Georgia Railroad owned the Wadley Southern, issued an order applying the continu- ous mileage rates. The Central claim cd that while they owned the Wadley Southern 1t was operated entirely inde- pendent of any other line. Today's de- cision sustains the order of the Com mission.
