EXPRESS CHARGES LOWER

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The inter-
state commerce commission has order
ed sweeping reductions in the rates
charged by express companies. 1t also
has ordered far reaching reforms in
the regulations and practices of the
companies and also has imposed on
them a uniform system of rate max
ing.
The order of the commission, while
not final, is subject only to hearing
to be given the express companies on
October 8. The commission calls on
the companies to show cause at that
time why the changes in rates and
practice should not go Immediately
into effect. This tentative arrange
ment of the commission means merely
that they desire to give the express
companies an opportunity for a final
word in their own defense
The decision of the commission will
cause a general reduction in rates on
small packages of about 20 per cent
While the average reduction is only
20 per cent the reductions altogether
ranged from 10 to 80 per cent.
An important requirement of the
commission is that the companies
shall adopt distinctive tag or label
which will show clearly whether a
package has been prepayed or not. In
the event of doubt the receiver of a
package will not be compelled to pay,
and the express companies will no
longer have the benefit Of thousands of
dollars that have flowed into their
treasures through double charges
In short, the decision of the COM
mission revOlutionizes the express
business in this country.
Facing the interstate commerce
commissions ruling, they must show
their service is necessary to the pub
lie. The express companies are pre-
pairing for long struggle.
Chairman Clemonts of the commits
sion said last night: ''If the ruling is
accepted and goes into effect it will
reduce the cost of living, provided the
middle men do not absorb all the
Margin"
Congressman Lewis said: "The
commissions ruling shows that gov
ernment ownership of the express
companies is imperative, but the rul-
ing probably will be held up in the
courts. The relations of the com.
panies to traffic is purely parasitic
and the only remedy is in their entire
elimination"
