TORTUNE MADE BY LAWYERS Tito or Three Attorneys 3nlt to 1Iit Mnu 111k Clenntnn In Yellow Tine nrpnrntlonl Up to Commission. Nebraska Beatrice Expects Another Railroad WASHINGTON, June 2.-8ventcn railway companies, constituting transcon tlnental freight route. are liable under the decision of the United Btates suprema court In the to-called Intermountaln cases for many millions of dollars In reparation on shipments made since the institution of the cases. The precise amount Involved In claims already filed with the Interstate Com merce commission has not hecn estl mated, but It approximates $12,000,000. One batch of claims alone filed by a single attorney aggregates more than 12.000.000. Scores of cases Involving amounts ranging from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands have been filed by Individual shippers and by commercial and shippers' organizations acting for their members. lrltlin Submitted. Neither In the original order of the com mission nor In the decision of the su preme court waa the question of repara tion to shippers discussed. From tlmo to time, however, in tho last two years petitions setting up claims for reparation have been submitted to the commission. All of them have been held up pending final determination of the several cases. It will be necessary for the commission now to consider these claims and audi others as may be filed within tho restric tions of the law and to pass upon them as upon original cases. To a large extent the commission may exercise discretion ary authority In the matter. The law In respect to reparation does not act auto matically. Each case or claim Is a sub ject of adjudication. Since the granting of about $2,000,000 to shippers In the yellow pine cases the commission has been extremely chary In allowing reparation. Whore Money Goes. Nearly, If not quite, BO per cent of the yellow pine reparation was absorbed by court expenses and attorneys' fees. Two or three firms of lawyerr nro said to have cleaned up Independent fortunes from the yellow pine reparation for doing little more than filing the claims of their clients. Their contracts called for a large percentage of the collected claims and In some Instances they received also lib eral allowances for expenses. In those cases the commission fixed the amount of reparation at 63 ier cent of tho proved claims. At the time It was pointed out that the reparation went to the shippers and their attorneys, none of the money reaching the consumers who had been the real loser through the Increased rate.
