IL is SAID Ln3C postmaster Gen0ral
Burleson has fled a report with the
joint committee on railway mail pay
setting forth that according to ascer-
tainments and conclusion based on the
conditions of 1909, the railroads In
1913 were overpaid about 100000"
1t may be that another computation
difference would wipe out this over
payment margin and prove that the
railroad officials are telling the truth
when they say that it costs them much
more to carry the mails than they get
out Of the treasury for performing the
service.
For year off and on, and for the
last two months exclusively, DR.. NJ. G.
Lorenz, a statistician of the interstate
commerce commission, has been espe-
ciaily employed by the joint commit

committee and an experienced man In
matters of this kind, has made epe-
cial investigation. He and DR.. Lorenz
have worked Independently and with
out knowledge of each others conclu-

reports we're compared 1t was found
both had reached the opinion that the
railroads were being underpaid about
25 per cent.
