NEW YORK. Jan. 20-Officers of Ca
madam and American express companies,
in conference here today, announced a
reduction in through rates soon TO take
effect between all Offices in the United

many cases would work hardship.
Big Companies Represented.
All the important express companies
were represented. including the Adams.
Canadian, American, National, Northern,
States, Wells Fargo and the New York G.
Boston Despatch.
In explaining the new schedules. the
companies instance the present rate be-
tween Plainiield, N j. and Boston,
which. under the new rule, will be 30
cents. saving to the shipper of 33 per
cent. The announcement follows;
"a decision was reached today by the
presidents of the express companies which
is OF far-reaching Importance. Instead
OF two companies. which may handle an
charge on each line, the charge will be
the same as If one company had car
