Reductions in Express Rates,

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has just made public report
OF its investigation into the bust
ness OF the thirteen great express
companies of the United States, anC
has ordered general reduction OF
about Ia per cent on all express
rates. The report says that while
these companies are separate legal
entities that by stock ownership and
otherwise they are so interlaced, In.
tertwined and int-rlOcked that il is
with difficulty we can trace one
of the greater companies as either
wholly independent in its manage
ment or the agency of IA single rail-.
road system.
So that" the report goes ON,
while these companies operate sep.
arately and compete with each 9th.
er for traffic, the express business
may he said to almost family af-
fair. Aud while many names may
ne used To designate these compan-
les, 1t is within the fact to say that
aside from the operations of the
minor and distinctively railroad ex.
press companies, the express bust.
ness OF the United States is man
aged by not more than three grnnps
of interests"
