RAILWAYS MAY FILE SUIT
Plan Asking Damages For Harm Done
Under Federal Control.

Washington, Jan. 14.-An intima-
ton that several of the big railroads
of the country will bring suits against
the federal government for alleged
damages to their property during war
time operation of the roads by the
railroad administration was seen in
the testimony of Thomas D. Cuyler,
president of the Association of Rail-
way Executives, before the house in
terstate commerce committee today.
Cuyler said that the Southern rail-
way, which refused to accept the
guaranty of per cent for the first
six months of private operation after
the roads were returned to their own
ers. would soon bring suit against the
government for sS4,00O.000 damages
His testimony left the inference that
other roads would do likewise.
