DETERMINED ID GET
 FRUITS OF VICTORY
W. of A. and c. of Ga. to
 Restore Rates
EFFECTIVE JUNE 20
Governor and State Officials Declare State Will Resist - Conference Friendly in Every Way.-Re-
 store Freight Rates Also

Montgomery, June 1s-(Special,)- )-The Western Railway of Alabama and the Central of Georgia Railroad company are determined to reap the fruits of their vic tory. At a conference today in the gov ernor's office representatives of these two corporations informed the chief executive and other state officials that the roads would restore the old passenger and freight rates, the former to go into effect on June 20 in conformity with the de- cree issued by Federal Judge Thomas G. Jones' The freight rates will also be restored.
 No attempt was made on the part of officials of the railroads to excuse their action with reference to the restoration of the old rates. They had won a vic. tory. and they were determined to reap the fruits. This was demanded by the stockholders of the two companies, and they could not do other than regard their wishes
 On the other hand, in the most friendly manner possible Governor O'Neal and other state officials informed the railroad representatives that the state would re- sist. The state did not attempt to deny that the roads had won a victory, neither did the state make any effort to dissuade the roads for restoring the old rates.
 Friendly Conference
 The conference was friendly. Both sides did a large amount of talking, though no definite results were achieved. Presi- dent Charles A. Wickersham of Atlanta of the Western railway, was the principal spokesman for his corporation, while Vice President w. A. Winburn of Savannah represented the Central of Georgia. In addition to these officials. Maj. R. P. Steiner of Montgomery, counsel for the Western Railway, and Thomas M. Gun ningham, Jr., of Savannah. counsel for the Central of Georgia. were also pres ent on behalf of the railroads.
 The state was represented by Governor O'Neal, Attorney General Robert c. Brickel Judge Samuel D. Weakley and II. c. Seheimer of Birmingham, special counsel employed by the state in the rate litigation. and the members of the state railroad commission, Charles Henderson, Frank W. Julian and Leon McCord.
 The conference began shortly afternoon and continued until o'clock, At the be- ginning the usual friendly social courtesies were exchanged. and the same friendli- ness characterized the conclusion of the conference.
