RAILROADS TO TEST
SIX PER CENT. RULE
Lawyers Will Meet Monday to
Decide on Court Pro-
ceedings.

Railroad companies affected by the
order of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission directing that earnings in ex-
cess of per cent on their property
value be turned over to the Govern
ment have taken up the question Of
the advisability of bringing a test case
in the courts. The legal aspects of the
question will be discussed at a meet
ing of railroad counsel on Monday.
The transportation act of 1920 pro-
vides for the recapture of excess earn
ings. with which the Government may
form a contingent fund out of which
loans to needy carriers may be made.
Legal opinion is strongly divided as to
the constitutionality of such a pro-
cedure.
The Bessemer and Lake Erie, a road
owned by the United States Steel Cor
poration, is largely back of the discus
sion. Other interested railroads include
the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Buffalo.
Rochester and Pittsburgh and nu-
merous small roads of large earning

The Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
and Delaware, Lackawanna. and West
ern railroads. also to be represented in
