Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-This
was the date tentatively fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
the express companies to show cause
why the new rates fixed by the COM
mission should not be adopted by
them. But as the new parcel post
system has raised some complications
in the adjustment of the express
rates, which the commission as well
as the express companies believe
will take some time to straighter
out, 1t is regarded as likely that the
hearings on the new rates will &C
