ARM RELIEF IS HARD PROBLEM:
 PRESIDENT PRESENTS NO PLANS
TO ASK RAILROADS
 FOR $500, ,OOO, ,OOO OF EARNINGS
BY CLINTON COFFIN Associated Press Staff Writer

~SS S<ost vY'fe~ty
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 16- Gov ernment claims against the most prosperous of American railroads for stupendous sums of money now are in course of preparation in the Interstate Commerce Com mission and will be presented for settlement during the coming year.
 The commission proceedings constitute an endeavor to carry out the law of 1920, which pro- vides for the recapture of excess earnings attained by common carriers. If the government con tentions, now carefully being shaped out of the morass of lti- gation and accountancy covering the subject, are sustained. federal revenues will be increased by S300, 100000.
 While the law has been on the books seven years, and the gov ernment claims under it are retro active. the commission, the treas ury and law officers have not been able until now to proceed in an effective way. Up to September 30 of this year, the government had collected $7,140,930 of the excess earnings claimed. and not a dollar of the amount had come from the great railroads whose earnings are really involved. Lii gation and the natural obstacles arising in the enterprise combined to prevent more substantial at tainment of government revenues in the field.
 Some Have Paid
 As the court decisions have slowly marked out the boundaries within which the government claims are rightful, series Of comparatively small railroads have given up the struggle and have undertaken payment Among those which have contributed are the Duluth, Messabe and North
