standing in the aisle of one of our

by a sudden jerk, and TO save himself
thrust his hand through one of the car
windows, in doing which an artery
was cut, the floor was drenched with
blood and he would have quickly bledto
death but for a young man in the back
of the car, who had been attending

Difficulties inway OF ParceIs Post

From The Elmer Times.
When John Wanamaker was Post
Master General, he said that three great
express companies composed the only
three reasons against the establishment
of a parcels post.
A special census report made public
this week, gives information about
express companies, from which we can
realize the difficulties that the advocates
of the parcels post have to butt against.
There were "a express companies
operating in the country in 1907. Six
leading companies did nearly SO per
cent. of all the express business of the
country, including Alaska. The ex-
press company employees in 1907 num-
bered 1924 and the amount paid in
wages and salaries was 500, 531, 754.
The same year the express companies
paid the railroads for transportation
500, 1878, $40.
In recent years the largest of the
companies have done q kind of banking
business, issuing last year 1904 $50
lnn9eg e4lgxA Witha. SvAtroc ! ! I ~,
656. In addition to this they issued
about three quarters of a million of
travellers cheques and letters of credit,
amounting to $40, 1923, 1882. This
amounts to nearly a third as much as
all the home aud international money
orders issued through the post office
department.
The express companies, some of them
own their own private cars, two of them
reporting the ownership of 116 cars.
One express company reported n
ship of POI automobiles used in delivery
service.
The capitalization of the express
companies of the country is sos, 853, 200,
and the receipts for the year $12S, Ill.,
176, with total assetsofnearly sos, 100000.
The railroads and eX press companies
work rogether in stock ownership, as
will be seen by the fact hat railroad
companies hold nearly q, 000, 900 o
express company stock, and express
companies hold over thirty-four and a
half millions of railway stocks and
bonds, and S11, 619, 125 in stock of other
express companies.
A proposition has been made to first
try the parcels post plan ON II. f. ID.
routes, and the reason for this is plain.
Express companies depend for rams
portation on railroads, steamboats, and
established stage lines. r.. +. ID. outes
were established to serve patrons, who
do not live adjacent to such lines, and
to deliver parcels to these patrons would
not conflict with express company
business except as it would establish a
precedent with government, and the
people might insist on an extension of
the parcels post to such an extent that
the capital invested in the express bust
ness would be jeopardized.
1t is easy to form an opinion as to
what Congress should do in such mat
tiers, but unless we grasp the idea of the
immense interests involved in legisla-
ton which would work a revolution in
business methods, we cannot realize
how much caution Legislators must
exercise lest they do injury to vested
interests.
