ANOTHER MILLION
FOR NEW POST-OFFICE
GOVERNOR GLENN
ON VIRGINIA RATE
Hopes State Will Come to the
Solution Of Problem Reached
by His State.

Governor Robert q. Glenn, of North
Carolina. who Is stopping at the Rich
nlond Hotel, is quite enthusiastic over
the settlement OF the railroad pas
senger rate question In his State.
He said last night that the COM
promise had brought about an era of
good feeling between the people and
known in North Carolina in a dozen
or more years.
The railroads" he said have ac-
cepted the terms and seem disposed to
carry out their contract In good faith.
1t has resulted in Withdrawal of
suits which were DANA ging their
credit. and which tho railroads found
were making it hard for them to Dor
row money
Governor Glenn reviewed the whole
fight for uniform passenger rates with
the enthusiasm of one who was thor
oughiy satisfied at the results.
We made an agreement" said the
Governor. with the Southern. the
South and Western, the Norfolk and
Western. the Norfolk and Southern, the
seaboard, and the Carolina and North
western roads. This provided for
flat rate, both interstate and intra-
state, OF lie cents mile, with mile
age books of 1000 and 1000 miles at
= cents and 500. mile book at IL
cents mile. All the roads In the State
agreed except the Atlantic Coast Line.
which objected to the Interstate provi-
sion, but intimated that they would
fall In line If the others i'd The
Legislature passed the 1-o cent flat
rate. and left It to the honor of the
railroads to carry out the provisions
as to mileage books.
Most States Have Agreed.
Georgia, South Carolina, Alaban,.
Tennessee and probably Mississippi
nave agreed to the same rate. All of
us are exceedingly anxious to have
Virginia do the same thing. and SO
secure uniform flat l-e cent rate
over all the lines through the entire
south. Such action would end all con-
fusion and controversy. make inter-
state and intrastate rates the same.
and create good feeling between the
people and the railroads. The rail-
roads believe they can live on this
basis. and think the people
would find 1t better in the long run
than the varying rates In different sec
tions. don't want to be put in the
light OF recommending anything to the
Virginia authorities. however. They
have their own problems, but I can say
that hope they will come to the soiu-
ton which. with us. seems to be salts
factory to all parties.
Governor Glenn continued: II do not
understand why the roads should OBJ
tect SO to tho authority of the vir-
GINA Corporation Commission. With US
they have been recommending all \
along that matters now handled BY the
Legislature be entrusted to our Cor
poration Commission"
Governor Glenn Will remain In the

borne out by the telegram he held in

placed In his pocket. The telegram In
question. it Is said. was first delivered
