RAILROADS MAY HAVE TO
PAY BACK MILLIONS TO
INTER-MoUNTAIN SHIPPERS

Washington, D. c., June 23.-Seven-
teen railroad companies, constituting
rans-continental freight routes are
liable under the decision of the United
States supreme court in the so-called
inter-mountain cases for many'millions
of dollars, in reparation on shipments
made since the institution of the cas-
es. The precise amount involved in
claims already filed with the inter
state commerce commission has not
been estimated, but it approximates
S12, 100000. One batch of claims filed
than $2,OO0,00O. Scores of cases in
volving amounts ranging from a few
hundred dollars to hundreds of thous-
ands, have been filed by individual
shippers and by commercial and ship
pers' organizations acting for their
members Neither in the original or
der of the commission nor in the de-
cision of the supreme court was any
question Of reparation to shippers dis
cussed.
From time to time, however, in the
last two years petitions setting up
claims for reparation have been sub
mitted to the commission. All of them
have been held up pending final deter
mination of the several cases. 1t will
be necessary for the commission now
to consider the claims and such others
as may be filed within the restrictions
of the law. and to pass upon them as
upon original cases. To a large ex-
tent the commission may exercise dis
cretionary authority in the matter.
The law in respect to reparation does
not act automatically. Each case or
claim is subject of adjudication.
Since the granting of about 100000 900
to shippers in the yellow pine cases."
the commission has been extremely
chary in allowing reparation. Nearly,
pine reparation was absorbed by court
expenses and attorneys fees. Two or
three firms of lawyers are said to
have piled up Independent fortunes
from the yellow pine reservations for
doing little more than filing claims for
their clients. Their contract called
for large percentage of the collec-
tions and in some instances they re-
ceived also liberal allowances for ex-
penses.
In those cases the commission fixed
the amount of reparation at SIS per
time it was pointed out that reparation
went to the shippers and their attor-
neys, none of the money reaching the
consumers who had been the real
losers through the increased rate
