Senator Moses of New “Hampshire has intrpduced a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit to the Senate any draft of regulations that may have been made by the internal revenue bureau in conformity with the decfsion of former Attorney General = Palmer that beer and wine could be used as medicine.

These settlements represent some 43 per cent in number of the claims ac- tually flled. The total unt paid in_settlement was $68,14}227. The largest single “diiputed item in final settlement, Mr. Davis said, is the claim for undermaintenance of way and. structures and equipment. The undermaintenance claims repre- sent. more than 50 per cent of the total amount of claims filed. Included in these claims for undermaintenance is the much discussed claim variousl described as “Inefficiency of labor,” “ineffactiveness of labor,” or “the dif- ference in the cost of applied ma- terial as between the test and fed- eral control periods,” this item repre- senting-some 70 or 75 per cent of the total undermaintenance claims. Claims for inefficiency of labor have not been allowed by the Railroad Ad- ministration, not only. as contended by the Rallroad Administration, but because such claims are not contem- plated by the standard contract, but they are of a too highly fndefinite, speculative and contingent character to warrant consideration, Mr. Davis’ statement declared.
