work to secure a reform Tn the manner. of transportation ot small packages in the United States. The parcel post has been one of the remedies most popularly supported. While many men have been working with the purpose of having the postofhce system care for the handling of small packag- es, another class of interests have been fighting for cheaper express rates under the pres ent plan of conducting the transportation business by the same express companies. There has, ill short, been a general recognition of the fact that something is wrong i'll the express companies methods ot charges, and this conviction having become general thru out the country, the remaining difference of opinion has been as to the advisability of meth ods whereby the evil could be reached. During the time the advocates of the parcel post have been making sentiment, and while the commercial or ganizations everywhere have been active in preparing an indictment against the express companies, the companies themselves have apparently been "only slightly interest ed" The cool caliated and continued arrogance of the heads of the express compan- ies has no parallel i'll the husi- ness affairs of the country. Almost for the first time in twenty-five years they have at last been brought to their knees, and are now squealing distressingly. But i'll the troubled hours only the rail- road companies who have shared ill the spells, are lend ing aid aud sympathy.
 Undoubtedly the greatest factor for reform i'll the postal and express carriage business i'll this country, IS James l.. Cowles, the white haired veter- an who for thirty years has kept the issues between the people and the express com panies alive. He Is the father of the parcel post movement in America, but Is radically opposed to carrying on the business under the zone syS tenn as provided in the recent legislation. MT. Cowles now comes forward with specific statements i'll reference to the express companies. In his speech before the Interstate Commerce Commission this week, he argued for flat rate regardless of the distance haul ed. the same as exists in the postal system. He said the American Express company at present carries parcels from Europe up to eleven pounds weight at fac rate of twenty
