mand upon the legislature to repeal the law against ticket scalping in Geor- gia, unless the railro pads entering this city agree to grant IL the privilege of stopovers on one-way through tick cts
 That might be considered pretty drastic step and of course there is the doubt as to whether the legislature would do it, even if Atlanta request ed it. But the fact that they are talk ing about it illustrates how much in earnest they are with reference to get ting the thing through
 The railroads have once before turned down the request of Atlanta for the stop-over privilege. but the chamber of commerce and members of the freight bureau have taken it up with renewed vigor and are pulling every possible string to make the roads come around
 The roads claim it will open the way for manipulation of tickets; that it would necessitate an expense not justified by the results, and that other cities would make the same demand if it were given to At lanta.
 But with the usual Atlanta view. the merchants here contend that Atlanta as a manufacturing and jobbing center is en- titled to this recognition. They feel it would be of value as an advertising prop osition alone and also that if they got 1t they would have no trouble in getting the travellers to stop.
 So 1t looks like it is going to be a case of fight, and hard one.
