vtitRANS PROTEST
ON RAILROAD RATES To Be Charged During the Encampment of the National G. A. R.

For the
(National News Association) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 4. The Grand Army men west of the Mississippi, have registered complaint against the railroads of that section for posting a flat rate of two cents a mile within the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Association for the 47th national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held here September 15-20. This decilon of the roads west of Mississippi river means if the rate is not reduced that visitors to the encampment who reside in the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Association, mut pay two cents a mile each way to some Mississippi river point. East of the Mississippi, in territory covered by the Southeastern Passenger Association, the rate is one cent a mile each way. First From Kansas. The first protest at the rate west of the Mississippi comes from Kansas in the form of an official letter issued by J. N. Harrison, commander of the department of Kansas. Commander Harrison had been informed through official railway channels that the rate will be two cents a mile, and he forthwith addressed a somewhat pointed letter to the chairman of the Southwestern Association. After directing attention to the fact that these same roads, some three months ago, gave the confederate veterans a rate of one cent a mile, Col. Harrison wants to know why the G. A. R. veterans can not get the same rate. He says further that he will "immediately bring this matter to the attention of the State Utilities Commission, and the Interstate Commerce commission, and If possible find out the reason why this outrageous, flagrant and persistent Discrimination is permitted. We ask no more, and will accept no less, than you have granted others, we will know the reason why." The confederate veterans west of the Mississippi had this same trouble but the roads finally acceded to the demand of one cent per mile rate, to the Chattanooga reunion in May. It is generally believed here that the rate will be the same finally for the G. A. R. encampment in September.

Fought a Hard Fight. Samuel Gompers fought one of the hardest fights of his life last session, and won out against more than half the members of congress.

associations. Members of congress, J

At 1:30 the chairman arrived and was informed that the attorneys for the local company were preparing a statement along the lines suggested by the city attorney and would be ready to report between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon at which time Chairman Duncan announced the case would be heard. The city attorney argues that no matter what clause is in the contract between the two companies and what price Is named in the franchise, the lolocak company should be compelled to go before the commission and go on
record that it will not make the valuation of the artificial gas plant a part of the valuation of the artiflcial plant, bo that at some future date the price of gas will be raised. Agree to the Demand. Attorney John T. Beasley and VicePresident Olney of the Light, Heat and Power company stated this morning that they are willing to make the declarations the city asks for, and further state that the company will use every possible diligence in making the connection for natural gas. He said that they would have most of the city served with natural gas by November 1, and all of the city, according to the franchise, by January 1. He explained that as it would require a large amount of money and tome to make the change, it could not be completed before January 1. In the granting of any franchise, the matter must be approved by the public service commission, and if the city can offer any valid reason why the contract should not be transferred the commission has the power to stop It It Is believed that the local company will be willing to grant the requests which the city has made, which will protect the city against future trouble without having to take the matter before the commission at a latter date.
