Operation of the railroads ot the coun try under tho railroad administration 'came to an official end after a period of over; two years of control the first day of last March. -Under provisions i of the Bach-Cummins bill the railroads for a period of six months during which re adjustments were made were guaran teed a return of 6 per cent on their cap ital stock.: -., i i , ;' , ' !
