which frees the railroads from compei-
ton on freight traffic and thst thu rail-
roads aud express companies are bound
in 8 close intsTcOrporsts relationship, is
the finding of the Department Of Com

Gently issued. This report covers the
fiscal year ending June so 1907, at which
time there were tbirty-fOur express com
panies, operating system Of 295, 9O0
miles, of which PIG. 973 miles we're over
railroads lines. The report states;
That the relationship Of the express
companies with each other and the rail-
ways is close" is indicated by the fact
that on June 80, 1906, railway COM
panies held 500, Cos, 600 of express COM
psny stock, aud express companies held
$22, 2lS. $50 OF railway stock aud $l2,-
324, 900 OF railway bonds. The con-
tract between a railway and an express
company usually provides that the ex-
press company shall not make q rate
