EXPRESS FIRMS
WILL FIGHT CUTS
Will Seek Injunction to Re-
strain Commission From
Altering Charges.
CLAIMS LOSS TOO GREAT
Reduction of 20 TO 25 Per Cent Pro-
posed-Confiscaeory in Char
- acter, 1t Is Stated.

Chicago, Aug. with a sweeping
reduction in rates throughout Illinois
confronting them, the express compan-
les, 1t was reported, are preparing 10
file a petition in the federal courts ask
ing for an injunction restraining the
Illinois railroad and ware house COM
mission from enforcing a proposed al
teration in charges.
While no Official announcement re-
garding the extent of the cut has been
made. it is generally understood that it
will amount to between 20 and 25 per
cent The latter ,amount was named
several weeks ago. when a statement
was issued that the commission pro-
posed to issue a new tariff, and devel-
opments since that time, it is asserted,
have furnished little or no basis for a
change in plans.
CLAIM CUT WILL CAUSE Loss.
1t is understood the express compan-
les will ask for a restraining order on
the ground that the reduced rates will
compel them to do business throughout
Illinois at a loss. This allegation is in
marked contrast to the charge made by
them nearly a year ago, when they OBJ
tanned an injunction in the federal
court on the plea that the commission
had no power to enforce a proposed re-
duction in express charges at that
time. Since then the state law has
been amended and the express carriers
now admit that the commissioners are
fully empowered to fix the maximum
rates they shall collect throughout the
state.
The chief objection Of the express
companies to the contemplated revis-
ion of rates pertains to graduated
charges. They are opposed to any re-
duction in these, and assert that any
substantial lowering of their present
rates will be confiscatory in character.
The issuance of the commissions new
tariff is expected within the next week.
