RULINGS By Aim Atlanta Ga April 7 Special

The Georgia railroad commission issued key rulings on inter state versus state shipping. It held a Macon Empire Coal case that once a shipment reaches its destination and is received the freight becomes state business and reciprocal demurrage applies. It allowed an Atlanta & West Point attorney free transport for himself but not under his company contract. It found the commission has no power to bar a telegraph office from a depot dispute. A request for a colored waiting room in Trenton was referred for deeper study after noting only one colored resident used the station.
