PARCELS POST
HITS EXPRESS
Conflict Between Rates Fix
ed by Commission and
Plans of Department |.

Washington, Sept 13.-The new
parcels post system has raised some
complications in adjustment of ex-
press rates by the interstate commerce
commission. Last July the commits
sion radically changed the methods Of
the operation of express companies
and suggested a system of rates and
rate-making to be considered by the
express officials. Tentatively October
8 was fixed as date on which the
commission would hear from the ex-
press companies and shippers reasons
why the proposed rates should not be-
come effective.
Into the mass Of figures of the tens
Of thousands Of rates suggested in the
change. many errors crept, to correct
which the commission announced It
would issue a supplementary order. It
probably will be published in a few
days.
In view OF the unavoida BILE delay in
the issuance of the corrected order
and in view, also. of the new parcels
post system which affects directly the
express companies. 1t is practically
assured the express officials will re-
quest a postponement of the October
hearing, that they may have oppor-
tunity to check and compare the par
cells post and the commission rates
with their own. It is possible the COM
mission may regard the request as
reasonable. 1t is desirable to secure
an amica BILE adjustment Of the express
rate structure to avoid long period
of litigation.

es of the So.called Cunningham
Claims-Dennett's Decision.

Washington. Sept. 13.-All Of the
twenty-three so-called Cunningham
coal land claims involving the alleg-
ed fraudulent blanket patents which
contributed to the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy, have been disposed of
finally by the interior department.
The appeals have been adversely
decided and Secretary Fisher has di-
reoted the immediate execution of
the decision of Commissioner bennett
Of the general land Office, who held
that the claims were improperly al
lowed and that the entries should be
cancelled. Secretary Fisher took this
final action on his second review OF
the cases.
No more Of the real Cunningham
claims are pending. though the inte-
rior department is regularly passing
upon other Alaskan claims somewha,
similar to those in the Cunningham
group. OF the thousand or more
such claims 800 already have been
disallowed.
The Cunningham claims had ar
aggregate area Of $3.50 acres and
their value ran high into the mil.
lions. It has been alleged that the
Morgan -Guggenheim syndicate owned
the blanket claims of Guggenheim
and their associates. With the con.
troversy over the claims came the
dismissal from the public service oi
Chief Forester Pinchot. Louis r
CLAWS. chief Of the field division OF
the land Office, and several minor Of

counted the vote cast by the Canadian
Pacific railway telegraphers, the COM
mittee Of the men announced today

men would be affected. These would
include every operator between St.
John. N. B.. and Victoria, B. G. The
strike order would not affect the
commercial telegraphers who in July

refuse to work with non-union men
and the company discharged them
for this cause.
When asked last night In Calgary
