Shaw's testimony, Commissioner Campbell interrupted to explain that the fu- vestiSation the commission is con- ducting is not confined merely to the grain rates as relating to the west ern states, but such rates as they exist throughout the country. If it should be found that adjustments should be made in any section of the country. these will be ordered and the decision will not be confined to any one territory. he said.
 The commissioner stated that an impression apparently existed that the Investigation was directed prln- cipally to the western states and he desired to correct this view.
 Witnesses for the American Short Line association testified that the short line railroads in the south were in no financial condition to with stand Q reduction in grain rates. These witnesses also stated they were of the opinion that if a reduc- ton were ordered, the southern farmer would receive no benefit.

RAILROAD CLAIMS ADJUSTED BY U..s..
Grew Out Of Wartime Con- trol-0nIy Five Un-
 settled

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.r-All claims arising out of government wartime
 railroad control, over 99 per cent 'ot
 the railroad mileage involved, have been settled. James c. Davis, direc-
 ton general of railroads, reported in- day, in . communication transmitted to Congress by President Coolidge. He calculated that the total cost Of the taking over of the roads was
 s1,sss, ,ooo, ,00o.
 When the railroads were turRed against the government amounted to
 $1,014,937.000, On December 3l, Mir.
 Davis had adjusted $763,10s,000 of these claims, by the method of pay ing in cash to creditor roads $242,- e28,000, but he had also demanded and
 received in cash and interest bear ing obligations from the same roads $192.s46,000. The actual net cost to the government in the settlement of this total of damage and compensa- tion claims from the railroads was
 $49,882,000. or 6.5 per cent of the
 face value of the claims as pre- sented.
 Only Five Claims Outstanding. There are only five railroad com-
 panies who have claims outstanding and three of these are in the hands of receivers, So far the railroad ad-
 ministration has avoided litigation, but there will be a number of court actions arising from the claims. There is in the treasury s336,s2S,- S65 of uneXpended appropriations made for the railroad administration
 liquidations,- MT. Davis said, and in addition $30s.237, ,000 of railroad se-
 curities paying 6 per cent, and ot
 par cash market value.
 There can be stated with reason able accuracy" the report said, "the
 cost to the government growing out of federal control and the six months guaranty period immediately follow ing the end of federal control, which Is as follows: @ Congress appropriated to pay cost of operation and to provide funds
 for liquidation a total of si:7so.ooo,- 900. The expenditure in payment of Judgments, decrees, awards and rep arations under Jurisdiction of the iri- terstate commerce commission Is es- timated at $40,000,000. This makes a total direct appropriation by Con-
 gress for the railroad administration
 of $1.7so,ooo,ooo.
 Treasury Get. seSs. s.coo.ooo. 8 "The railroad administration should return to the treasury in unexpended expenditures in cash and definitive obligations of the carriers in round figures $645. 5000. 900, which leaves the cost of federal control and liquidation of liabilities at $1,145, ,000, 900
 ITO this should be added the amount of claims arising under the
 guaranty period, being the six months Immediately following federal
 control, which the interstate com- merce commission estimates to cost s536,0o0, ,000.
 There is also a commerce com. mission estimate of $15,000,O00 for
 reimbursements of short line rail- road deficits, making the final total cost to the government of 26 months of federal control and six months of guaranty of earnings S1,696, 900, ,000."
