Railroads Are Overpaid.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-"Many OF
the railways of the country are being
overpaid for transporting the mails.
I believe that saving of approxi-
mately $4,000, 600 year to the gov
ernment can be made without injustice
to the carriers by readjusting the pay
on basis of per cent profit to all
railways carrying the mails"
Postm aster General Hitchcock thus
summarized tonight the result of his
investig alton into the cost of railway
mail transportation under an old law.
"Several of the great trunk line
systems are receiving lions share
of the excessive compensation" said
Mr.. Hitchcock. "The payments to
them will be reduced considerab bly,,
while some of the smaller lines will
receive a material increase in pay"
The investig alton has been in pro-
gress more than q year and is moi
concluded.
