GOVERNMENT ACTS TO !
SAVE GEORGIA PEACHES
Figg Will Use every Legal Rem
edy" to Protect Public
Interest.

Every legal remedy necessary to
protect public interest will be used
by the Department of Justice to save
the Georgia peach crop. which is
threatened with disaster through the
refusal of ice concerns to provide
fer its transportation. it was an
nounced today by Howard Figg, spe-
Ncial assistant to the Attorney Cen
eral.
1T has come to the notice of the
Department of Justice" Mr.. Figg de-
clared in a statement today. that the
Georgia peach crop is threatened with
disaster by the threatened refusal of
ice necessary for refrigeration of
cars used in transporting the crop
to market.
This situation has come about
through a controversy between the At
lanta Ice and Coal Corporation and the
Fruit Growers Express Company, the
latter being the owner and operator of
refrigerator cars and dependent on the
former for necessary ice, which it has
given notice will not be supplied after
IL o'clock today unless certain demands
are met
The department is not interested in
the merits of this controversy, but will
not stand idly by and see the Georgia
peach crop deteriorate, nor the public
suffer loss and higher prices for peaches,
results sure to follow unless the matter
Is adjusted.
United States Attorney Hooper Alex
ander, at Atlanta, has been instructed
to intervene for the United States and
use every legal remedy necessary to pro-
tect the public interest. Proceedings, il
instituted, will probably be under the
Lever act and amendments thereto"

PRIORITY GIVEN COAL.
Order ISSUED by the I. c. c. Elk

ID IAN Interpretation of the coal pri-
prity order issued by the Interstate
Comrperce Commission June 10 is con-
tajned in a letter sent today by Chair
man Clark of the commission to John
Callahan. traffic manager of the Ma
tionaI Coal Association. with head
quarters in Washington.
Mr. Clark explained that the order
giving priority to coal moving to
New England to relieve the fuel snort

plate any modification from the es-
Ttablshed rules governing mine rat
ings and distribution of cars. He said
that shipments 70 tidewater piers for
transhipment to points in the United
States take precedence over ship
ments to such piers for bunkerage.
Under the order carriers are re-
quired for "A period of thirty days to
give preference to coal in the use of

vides that open top cars may be used

ASK HIGHER FREIGHT RATE

Pacific coastwise steamship COM
panies today petitioned the Interstate
Commerce Commission for advances in
freight rates equivalent to those asked
by railroads of the west and south.
Western roads are seeking an increase
of "a per cent and southern roads 81
per cent.
The petition was presented by the
Pacific Steamship Company and the
San Francisco and Portland Steamship
Company. and declares that at existing
rates their business is conducted at
less by reason of unprecedented ex-
penses of operation. The petition de-
clares no means of increasing net rev.
enues are available, except through an
increase of freight rates, as passenger
rates are as high as competitive con-
ditions will permit.

Something new in the way of pub
LEGATIONS issued by government en-

to be issued by the joint conference
in the interests of the Reconsideration of
federal employees.
Appearance of the first number of
the Reclassificationis viii mark the
firing of a big gun in the campaign
of the joint conference to impress
<npon Congress, the public and gov
eminent employees themselves the ne
cessity for Redistribution of the
workers of Uncle Sam.
First Appearance Date.
First copies of the new publication.
which is to be weekly, will be dis
tributed at mass meeting OF key
persons" or representatives of the
conference in the departments, which
will be held at 1923 New York avenue
Friday night.
The names of R. ]. Quinn of the ad-
jutant generals Office and Eliza beth
Barr will appear as editors of the
Reclassifcationist, which Will be de-
voted entirely to the subject of para
mount interest to federal employees,
now that the retirement legislation IN
law.
Mr.. Quinn, the editor, has been a
leading spirit in the formation of the
joint conference on Redistribution.
He was detailed from the War De-
partment to the staff of the joint con-
gressional commission on reclassifica-
ton, and while there took part in the
work of the commission, which lasted
more than year
Out of his frst-hand experience
with the actual work of reclassifica-
ton Mr.. Quinn realized the necessity
for constant hammering on the part
of all legitimately interested in re-
classification of the government en-
ployes in the District Some constant
work is needed. it was believed, in
order to impress on all the absolute
necessity for Redistribution.
Other Workers Cooperate.
Other federal workers united with
Mr.. Quinn and formed the joint con-
ference on Redistribution, which is
undertaking the publication of the
new weekly. The Reclassifica zionist
will be devoted entirely to the many
phases of recla ssifica ton. its bearing
upon the government service and the
clerks. and its future as regards the
good of the District of Columbia.
Despite the vast amount of public
ity given the reclassifcation COM
mission and it's work in the press. it
is believed by members of the con-
ference that much yet remains to be
done by way of explanation.
Almost unbelievable ignorance has
been shown on the part of some gov
eminent employees. it has been de-
clared. in the whole subject of re-
classification. and for this reason it
is believed that the new publication
will meet a real need.
The retirement law, with the 21S
per cent of the salaries of all gov
eminent employees affected to core
out in one lump sum Thursday as de-
cided in an opinion of Controller War
wick last week, has forcibly brought
home to government employees the
necessity for Redistribution legisla-
ton.
