 IN WASHINGTON

 thetic Hearing

President Fairfax Harrison and Vice President Lincoln Green have wired Chamber of Commerce officials that they will be glad to give a sympathetic hearing to them and members of the Alabama public service commission in Washington Wednesday with regard to effecting a settlement of the Meridian late case tangle outside of court
 The railroad officials suggest in their telegram of acceptance of the suggestion for a conference that it will probably be necessary to take the matter before Commissioner East man. of the interstate commerce commission, who rendered latest de- cision in the Meridian case. This is taken to mean that the Southern of ficials anticipate the probability of having official approval of whatso- ever settlement may be agreed on with the represen tatives of Alabama shippers.
 The Washington conference will take place Wednesday at noon The chamber will be represented by Manager o. L. Bum and President R A Porter.
 Attitude of the Southern railroad d officials. as expressed in their reaGi- ness to enter conference with regard to the matter, is taken by chamber officials to indicate a desire to have the matter arranged on an anicable base without surrender of the Ala bama intrastate rate fabric.

CITY COMMISSION
 SUEDFOR S5O,OO0
Former Secretary to John Taylor Alleges He Was
 Illegally Discharged

Members of the city commission were made defendants individually yesterday in a $5O,00o suit filed in circuit court by W. W. Tucker, who alleges that he was unlawfully dis charged from the police department when the new commission took off, flee.
 The action was brought in Fuckers behalf by Judge Horace c. Wilkinson. Five counts are brought against the commission in the suit, which marks a new angle in the fight on the pow CT of the commission to fire employees of the police department without first preferring charges and granting trial.
 Tucker was secretary to ex-Police Commissioner John H. Taylor and he charges in his complaint that he was discharged on November 30, 1921. chiefly for political reasons. Along with the suit Judge Wilkinson filed so questions for Commissioner Cloe to answer. which are designed to throw light on the reasons for dis charging Tucker and naming G. T.. Trafford. his successor.
 Many Questions Asked
 1t Is claimed by Tucker that he was employed under civil service rules, and that the commission violated these provisions in discharging him. The suit enumerates that he was caused to lose a valuable and lucra- tive position, to be without employ ment a long time, and was put to great trouble and annoyance ana ex- pense." Punitive damages are also claimed.
 Count ayers that the law express ly provides that no person shall be dropped for political reasons. Tucker had been employed by Commissioner Taylor for about year. Prior to that time he was an inspector in the health department
 This makes the second legal tangie for the city commission as the result of police discharges. Commissioner Cloe is already restrained from dis charging Mrs. Hulda Newsome, po- licewoman, while Walter Brewer is preparing mandamus proceedings that would force the commission to restore the 20 policemen who were discharged.
 Judge Wilkinson intimated that additional damage suits similar to the Tucker case may be brought against the city.
