Asks Governor To Order Inves-

Disaster Which VIII Be Done

ATLANTA, Sept. 10.--A non-par-
tisan commission. charged with in
vestigating the wrecking of the A., +,
& A freight train Wednesday night,
when Engineer J. 7. Morris lost his
life, will be appointed by Governor
Hardwick to fix the blame for the
catastrophe. This was the assurance
that the governor gave a committee
from the International Association Of
Machinists yesterday.
The members of the committee
told the governor they would
promptly put their request in writing
The governor will then name his
commission and the investigation pro
coed,
The committee waiting on the
r. l.. Galley, of Chicago, interna-
governor Friday, was composed of
tional vice president, and Glenn Dew
berry, Councilman Frank Galloway
and G. c. Whipple, members of the
Atlanta local. Attorney Carl Hutch
cson was their spokesman.
Request for the investigation was
made on the ground that union labor
in general and the math.rists in par
ticular, are suffering in popular cs-
tecm because of the general belief
by the public that the catastrophe was
caused by dynamite being ulaccd IN
der the Cascade trestle by A., B. 4
A. strikers or union syOlpstbizers,
this belief having been promulgated
bv officials of the road
They insisted that an investiga-
'tion will show that the wreck was
caused by faulty tracy and that
there was no dynamite used but
they did not ask the governor to
consider their unsupported assur-
ancc. They then asked for the in
vestigating commission.
Governor Hardwick replied that
he believed that such an investiga-
ton was desirable by all parties
concerned an dassured the delega-
ton that he would act as soon as
their petition was presented in writ
ing.
