On Bill toU.S.

WASHINGTON May 90. tUP)-
The supreme court today affirmed
a court of claims decision dismissing
the suit of the Southern Pacific
company against the federal gov
ernment to recover money allegedly
withheld illegally by the govern
ment in paying the road for trans
portation services.
Because a considerable portion OF
the carriers SiSkiyou route between
Portland and San Francisco was
constructed on federal land grants
the government was entitled to
have It's property and troops trans
ported free of charge. In 1928, this
land grant provision was amended
to provide for payment of so per
cent of the ordinary charge.
In 1926, the road completed an
other line, known as the Cascade
route. between Portland and San
Francisco. The dispute arose over
how much the government should
pay for transportation over this
new route. The case decided by
the high court today involved a
claim Tor only SIG, but was re-
garded as a test applicable to other
government-rail disputes over trans
port charges.
