ATLANTA DEALERS FOR
LOWER SHOE RATE
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Lowers Boot and
Shoe Rate

The Atlanta shoe and boot dealers
gained big and decisive victory before
the interstate commerce commission
Thursday when the rate on shoes to At
lanta was reduced Just ten cents per
hundred pounds. The present rate is
s1.O5 per hundred pounds but the new
rate will be but IS cents.
The reduction comes after a long and
hard fight lasting for many years. 1t
will result in the saving of over 5000
by Atlanta dealers and therefore proba-
bly, slightly reduce the price of shoes
For many years past shoes have been
regarded as first class shipments but on
Thursday they were placed in the spe-
cial commodity class and given the low
er rate.
1.-The reduction by the commission of
the rate from S1.O5 to IS cents per hun
bred pounds is a decisive victory and
quite gratifying to the Atlanta dealers,
though il is not as complete as we would
have liked said W. A. Wimbish. at
torney for the Atlanta dealers, when
speaking of the reduction Thursday
morning.
The fight for lower shoe and boot rates
to Atlanta began as far back as 1900 and
was brought to a head at the famous
conference OF shoe dealers and railroad
officials In Atlanta in November. 1904 At
this meeting the rate was placed at S1.O5
per 100 pounds. though a special rate Of
IS cents per 100 pounds when shipped in
carloads was allowed. Though the S5-cent
rate was considered a carload rate, IL
soon became an open and quantity rate,
which was regarded by the railroad COM
panies as being entirely too low. The e5-
cent rate was in effect but 60 days be-
fore the companies gave notice that the
old rate of s1.O5 would again be resumed
for all shipments.
The Atlanta dealers then got together
and fled a bill to eDjoin the companies
from making this advance. Judge New
NAH granted the injunction pending a de-
cision of the reasonableness of the rates
by the interstate commerce commission
The commission took the matter up
Thursday and definitely decided it by
dropping the rate just 10 cents per 100
pounds.
WHAT GORDON KISER SAYS.
Mr. Gordon Kiser, president of the NJ.
c. Kiser Shoe company one of the lar
gest in the south, when informed of the
decision of the interstate commerce COM
mission, said:
while we feel that we were entitled
to the Scent rate for which we have
been fighting for the past five years we
regard the decision as a victory for the
wholesale shoe dealers of Atlanta"
Mr.. Kiser has been one of the most act
i've in the movement to secure lower
rates and to him the victory before the
commission is in a great degree attrib-
utable.

MAJ. LAWTON RETURNS
TO PORTO RICO SCHOOL

SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. 22.-Maj. Ed
ward Lawton. formerly of Savannah, and
a retired army officer who for some years
has been in Porto Rico, was in Savannah
yesterday en- route to Washington. He Is
a brother of Mrs. William Garrard, oil
this city. 1t is expected Colonel Lawton
will GO back to Porto Rico to accept the
place of military instructor of the Uni
versity of Porto Rico. He says the people
on the island are still very much unset
tied and it is difficult to tell when things
will settle down.
The real fault with the island he de-
clares is that there are too many poll
ticians among the natives there.
Major Lawton recently had the good
fortune to buy a tract of land on the
island where marble has been discovered
and he believes that he will be able to
develop this industry TO considerable
extent.
