MINNESOTA PROBE GOES ON
Express Rate Inquiry Not Affected By
Action at Washinaton.

st. Paul. July 5.-The decision of
the interstate commerce commission
to investigate express rates and 9th
er affairs of the express companies
will have little bearing on express
rate cases pending before the Mime
sofa railroad commission, according to
members of the commission. II could
have a bearing only in the event the
interstate commerce commission
should order a reduction on interstate
rates that would affect intrastate
rates.
The states experts have endeavored
to show how much of the earnings oi
the express companies and what por
tion of the expenses should be credit
ed to intrastate business and If The
rates are too high in proportion to the
expenses they will order a reduction
of rates, regardless of what the inter
state commerce commission does, the
members say.
