The bill will be introduced at the

Uncle Sam pay the judgment.
"The federal government should
pay the Judgment" said Judge Moss
today "The separation of West Vtr-
ginia from Virginia was war meas
ure. 1t was necessary to help pre-
serve the Union during the Civil
war. West Virginia, or the western
part of Virginia, controlling an east
and west railway, remained loyal &c
the union, and being border state
was a potential factor in aiding the
northern soldiers.
Now, 1 think the federal govern
ment should assume the financial
burden for the sacrifice which West
Virginia has been forced to assume
through its act of breaking away
from Virginia, and helping the
Union cause"
