EXPLAIN EXPRESS RATES
Try to Tell why Chicago Rates Were
5-se Raised --s.---.

Chicago. Jan. 12.-Increased cost of
handling express packages, as result
of higher wages and enlargement OF
facilities, were pleaded yesterday by
officials of the companies at the hear
ing before the Illinois railroad and
warehouse commission, as a justifica-
ton for advances of nearly seventy
per cent in the rates out of Chicago.
This defense was made in the face of
the three hundred per cent melon"
recently cut by the Wells-Fargo COM
pany and profits of fifty to seventy
five per cent reported to have been
made by other corporations.
J. C. Zimmerman, general manager
of the Adams Express company, and
]. H. Bradley, vice president and traf-
fic manager of the American COM
pany, were the witnesses.
The testimony was largely in rebuff
tai to that presented at previous hear
ings by Chicago merchants who filed
complaints against the express people
on account of the advance in the rates
charged department stores for the de-
livery of packages to the suburbs. At
ter having been in effect for 15 years,
the rate of 80 cents per hundred
pounds was advanced in February,
1907 to 40 cents and in September,
1908 to so cents.
