of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. WOOD, from the Committee on War Claims, submitted the
following
REPORT
[To accompany H. J. Res. 421]
The Committee on War Claims, to whom was referred the joint
resolution (H. J. Res. 421) entitled Joint Resolution authorizing and
directing the Comptroller General of the United States to certify for
payment certain claims of grain elevators and grain firms to cover
insurance and interest on wheat during the years 1919 and 1920 as
per a certain contract authorized by the President, having considered
the same, report thereon with a recommendation that it do pass with
the following amendments:
On page 6, line 20, beginning with the word or strike out all
down to the colon in line 5, page 8.
On page 8, line 8, strike out the figures 15 and insert in lieu
thereof the figures 10.
The amendments recommended by your committee would limit
payment of claims to grain elevators and grain firms whose names
appear on the books of the United States Grain Corporation as filed
with the Secretary of the Senate in response to Senate Resolution No.
98 of the Seventy-first Congress. It is shown that these claims
represent 1335 dealers and amount to $134,122.47.
The other committee amendment limits the amount that may be
paid to an attorney under the terms of the bill to 10 percent, the
usual fee permitted in these claims.
The facts in this case are fully set forth in House Report No. 1529
of the Seventy-fourth Congress, first session, which is appended hereto
and made a part of this report. Also appended hereto and made a
part of this report are reports of the Comptroller General of the
United States dated July 16, 1937, and the Acting Secretary of Com-
merce dated March 12, 1938.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.beal/ggce0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
