CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
RATE CASE MAY 19
Must Show Cause Why Com
mission Should Not Fix
Reasonable Rate

Montgomery, May --(Special)-Cita-
tion to the Central of Georgia Railroad
company to appear before the state rail-
road commission on Monday, May 10, and
show cause why the commission should
not fix a reasonable passenger rate on
its line in Alabama was issued today.
The formal notice of the commission
that it would take up the Central OF Geor-
ga passenger rate case on the 10Th Of
the present month was similar to the
notice served upon the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company and the
Western Railway of Alabama. The Cen
tral of Georgia is required to send repre-
sentatives to Montgomery to show cause
why the commission should not fix a reas-
on able passenger rate, and 1t is probable
that the hearing will be along the same
lines as that conducted in the other cases.
While the railroad commission mas not
yet announced its decision in the west
ern Railway of Alabama passenger rate
case, it is expected that it will be given
out within the next few days, probably
before the hearing of the Central OF
Georgia case begins. The railroad com
mission has been at work on the west
ern Railway case for several weeks, anu
its decision is expected at an early DATE
The only other railroad in the state to
be cited to appear before the eoiiiiliiesion
and show cause why the commission
should not fix a reasonable passenger
rate on it's line in Alabama is the Nash-
vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis Railroad
company This road will be cited and a
date fixed for the hearing as soon as
the commission has disposed OF tue Seh-

WILSON TAKES
POSITION ON THE
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL

Washington, May s.-President Wilson
let it be known today that when he acts
on the sundry civil bill he will make a
statement concerning the provision in It
exempting labor unions and farmers or
ganizations from prosecution under a fund
appropriated for enforcement of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The President will sign the bill ac-
cording to prominent democratic members
of Congress who have talked with him
about it, but will point out, they declare,
that substantive law and the question of
whether labor unions are immune from
prosecution under the antitrust laws are
not affected by the provisions of the ap-
preparation bill. 1t is regarded as practi-
cally certain that in the December session
of Congress an effort will be made to re-
wise the antitrust laws and some demo-
cratic leaders believe the proposed ex-
emption merely will postpone unit lthen
definite understanding of how far the
antitrust laws affect labor combinations.

WILSON HOPES FOR
FINAL ACTION ON
CURRENCY REFORM
President Outlines Plans for
Currency LegislatiOn-Is
Pleased With Passage
of the Tariff Bill

washington, May S.-President Will
today of the tariff bill in the House that
he hopes now for final action on cur
rency reform during the present ses
sion of Congress. He had conferred
during the day with Representative Tn
derwood and Representative Palmer.
chairman of the House caucus outlin-
ing to them the hope that his currency
legislation might be taken up early in
June. The President studied a prelim
inary draft of a currency bin brought
him by Representative Glass, probable
chairman of the House banking and cur
rency committee and told his callers
that In the interval between now and
June l he expected to confer with as
many currency authorities as possible.
While the President is anxious for
currency reform during the present ses-
sion he realizes that everything depends
on progress of the tariff bin in the SEN
ate. He thinks that If that is disposed
of before the hot summer weather sets
in, action on a currency bill might be
possible In quick time provided demo-
cratic leaders can come to an agree
ment on a measure.
Several influential democrats in the
Senate, however, including some mem
bers of the banking and currency com
mittee are opposed to any action during
the present session and propose extern
sive hearings. They are all agreed that
banking reform should be the first work
of the December session and it is not
at all unlikely that President Wilson
may be persuaded not to insist on cur
rency legislation. He is known not to
desire the session of Congress to ex-
tend beyond the middle of August and
the general expectation among senators
tonight was that final vote on the
tariff bill would not be taken before
August

We know you can buy rugs elsewhere.
But we also know that you cannot buy
the same quality of rugs elsewhere in

Why? Because we contracted for our

of price occurred, and we can sell them
at the price which held before this raise.
We carry in stock an elegant assert
ment of room size rugs in Administer,
