REDUCTIONS ARE
EFFECTIVE OCT, 15
WILL RESFLT IN GREAT SAVING
Express Companies Must Put Into
Force Many Rate fhanpes
By Tliat Rate.
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.
The Commission has so simplified
the express tra..c that any person mm
