Case of Weighing Mail Involves Large Amount
Washington May 18 The Court of Claims denied claims by mail carrying railroads against the United States totaling 31 million dollars involving 720 railroads. The opinion by Chief Justice Campbell reversed a prior filing and ruled the present weighing method fixes compensation. The post office weighed mail over 103 days and divided by 90 days, with Sundays counted as working days since 1907, affecting compensation and leaving railroads disputing about one seventh of mail. The original finding would have held the government liable for about 1 million dollars to 720 roads.

Miners alleged workers were transported to Gray Creek mine by rural carrier, while authorities denied imports.
