ARGUMENT BEGUN
To PREVENT LEASE
Of C., c. & D. R. R.

Arguments on the objection OF the
Seaboard Air Line and Georgia &
Florida railroad to the proposal of
the Louisville & Nashville and At
lantic' Coast Line railroads to lease
the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio rail-
road for period Of ninety-nine years
began Tuesday before the Georgia
railroad commission.
Veteran statehouse officials have
declared this case to be one of the
NEST unusual in many years. Some
time ago the l.. & n. and A. c. i.
railroads filed with the interstate
commerce commission an applica-
ton for authority to lease the caro-
lima, Clinchfield & Ohio railroad for
the specified period.
Pursuant to its rule, the inter-
state commerce commission notified
the various state commissions af-
fscted, allowing them ten days in
which to file an objection. Under
the interstate commissions rule the
lease would have been approved II
no objection was filed by any of the
state commissions within that time.
The Georgia commission received
it's notification several days ago ana
Immediately the S. A. l.. and G. &
F.. railroad entered a joint objection,
basing it on the grounds that the
proposed lease would give the l.. &
N. railroad a virtual monopoly on
railroad routes to the southeast from
the central west.
1t was also contended that TIE
lease would affect the Western u
Atlantic railroad, owned by the state
Of Georgia and operated by the Nash-
willie. Chattanooga & st. Louis rail-
Grad, 1t was contended that the H.
G. n. controls the n. C. & st. l.. rail-
road and that at the expiration OF
the present lease of the w. IL A. the
present lessee would not be as much
interested in renewing the lease as
formerly because of the fact that II
would have an alternate inlet to the
southeast.
Arguments in the case began tues
day morning and it was expected
that they would be completed during
the day. Appearing for the Seaboard
Air Line railroad were w. l.. stan
lev. vice president; Hollins Randolph
division counsel; Stewart Stringfel-
low, general freight agent Tor the
Georgia & Florida; G. II. PurVls
general manager for the LoulsVllie
e, Nashville; Attorney John L.. rye
and for the Atlantic Coast Line, Az
torney Robert G. Aston.

COOLIDGE POWDERS
ON EXTRA SESSION.
GOMPERS REPORTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Presl-
present intention Of calling an extra
sessions of congress, but those who
called on him today received the
impression that he had not made a
final decision.
The possibility Of an extra session
was discussed by the president with
Samuel Gompers, president, and
Frank Morrison, secretary, Of the
American Federation OF Labor. Mr..
Gompers said the president appear
ed to have no intention now OF call
ing congress together ahead of time,
but was reserving any definite de-
cision.
The subject was brought up by
Mr.. Gompers because of his desire
to submit legislative proposals on
behalf of organized labor. He made
an engagement to see President Cool
idge again early next month to sub
nit labor policies which are to be
discussed at a meeting this month
Of the federation's executive coun-
ell.
The labor leaders spent more than
half an hour with the president in
discussion Of industrial matters.
The situation in the coal industry
was taken up but without mention
Of any threatened strike.
Refreshed by a Sunday Of rest,
President Coolidge devoted himself
today to q study of plans for the fu-
neral of his late chief, Warren G.
Harding. To this end practically all
other official business was put aside.
With endless details, incidental to
the funeral arrangements, TO be dis
posed of, conferences on the subject
made the temporary executive Of
fees near the Coolidge hotel suite
a scene OF uninterrupted activity.
The stream of visitors which has
flowed into the presidential suite
since Mr.. Coolidge's arrival here Fri
day night from Plymouth, VT, con-
tinued.
When he attended morning serv-
ices yesterday at the First Congre-
gational church, Mr.. Coolidge made
his first appearance in a public as
semblage since becoming president.
During the remainder of the day he
rested in his hotel.
