Find That 446 Railways Are In Recapture Class SOUTHERN RY. AND SIX OTHER ROADS IN SOUTH ON LIST I. C. C. Reports Ten Year Earnings Subject To Toll At Total Of $3 61, 465,815. The Interstate Commerce commis sion has announced that 446 railroads had recapturable earnings during the 10 years ending with 1930 and that these were estimated at $361,465,815. The commission made its estimates public after Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman had handed them to the house interstate commerce committee during hearings on the recapture repeal bill. The railroad tribunal is advocating repeal of the law on the ground that it is virtually unworkable. The law provides that when a railroad’s earn ings are in excess of a fair return on its property investment, one-half of the excess must be given over to the government. The commission has ruled 5 3-4 per cent is a tair return. The commission’s statement showed that only $10,679,085 had been paid by the roads and that only a small portion of this money is not subject to protest. The commission has been able to carry only two cases to a conclusion and was reversed by the United States supreme court on the first of these. The second has never been finally ad judicated. Included in the recapture class are the following southern railroads: Southern railway, $15,838,881; At lantic Coast Line, $9,722,431; Kan sas City Southern, $3,712,402; Rich mond, Fredericksburg & Potomac, $2, 891,766;Gulf Coast Lines, $2,094,974; Florida East Coast, $1,213,479; and the Seaboard Air Line, $1,094,540.
