 EXPRESS COMPANIES
 HAVE PARTNERSHIP

Washington, February 2-What virtual ly amounts to partnership between the railroads and the express companies was suggested today by Commissioner Lane at the investigation by the interstate commerce commission into express rates and regulations. TO develop this rela- tionship would appear to be the purpose of the present inquiry.
 George C. Taylor vice president of the American Express company and gem eral manager of the western depart ment, explained the mechanical opera tions of the company.
 ''Nhy is it not possible" inquired Com missioner Lane, If you weigh every package of express matter, to pay the railroad companies on the basis of the actual weight transportation? As a fact, is it not because the railorads and the express companies are in practical part nership?"
 MT. Taylor referred the inquiry to men older in the service than he. MT. Fay lo- explained that the railroads were de- nanding continually a greater dividend of the express rate for their share.
 ''What is the theory on which they demand higher charges from youX" asked Commissioner Lane.
 I've make our divisions with the rail- roads on a basis of service rendered and on facilities which we require. 1 think the roads are honest in their demands" {"
