The action of the Interstat Commerce Commission recently in order ing a sweeping reduction of express rates to be put into effect between all points in the United States attracted much interest and comment at the time and rightly so for the reason that it is of concern to practically every man, woman and child in the land, to say nothing of the firms and corporations that utilize this agency so frequently In the transaction of business. These changes will become effective October 15 unless the Commission allows the express companies additional time for the preparation of L the schedules or the express companies resist the Commission's order tvhich is hardly believed to he likely, ol That the operation of the parcel it post has taken away a large slice of tA a certain class of business heretofore fc handled by |he express companies cannot be denied but the express te companies have been undertaking to n recoup by developing other lines. b; Th.e action of the Interstate Com- _tl meree Commission in ordering sweep- al ing reductions in rates followed complaints filed, with it by a number of leading commercial organizations New rules have been promulgated by the Commission in a recent decision b on the subject of express rates and w practices, a few of which are here-1 tc with reproduced: T Th aaoi>tion of the block system bi of stating rates. H The establishment of a uniform n classification of simple character. 3. The publication of a joint directory p, of express stations, fixing the location F of every such station by block num- n ber. m The publication Jqintly of the pick- tr up and delivery limits at everV sta- .ct tion. fc The adoption of a new form of ex- a. press receipt, the terms of which are 2. clear, specific and reasonable. The adoption of a rule fixing sec- re ond class rates to apply on articles 7. of food or drink (except where other, b: wise specified in the classification and gi ruled) at 7") per cent of the first-class w rate with certain additional provisions not possible of extended mention. ? The adoption of a rule for aggregating weights on two or more packages forwarded by one shipper at the same time, upon one receipt to one consignee at one local address, fixing the application of the rate upon the actual weight of each such article when above 20 pounds. This is in reality a rate reduction in weight, on which the reduced rates in the table apply, the two constituting a double reduction. The addition of rules providing for valuation charges. C. 0. I), shipments, returned Shipments, {prompt settlement of claim and prompt disposition of undelivered and refused shipments. It will be seen that on packages 01 100 pounds, for short distances the Commission has made few reductions; in fact, in a few instances rates on packages ranging from 50 to 100 pounds have been slightly advanced. The material reductions have been made on packages of '50 pounds and under, and by the rule governing aggregated weights mentioned above, which constitute this preponderance of express tra. .c. and is where the relief was most needed.
