RAILROADS MAKE PROTEST

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-Declaring
that "the service is exacted of them
by the government without making
provision for compensation" the COM
mittee on railway mail pay, repre-
senting 26S railroads of the country,
today decided to carry parcel post
mail matter under the increased
weight limit.
After reciting that the railroads
have already carried the greatly in
creased burden of parcel post from
January l when 1t was instituted, to
July l without one cent of additional
payment" the committees statement
adds:
Whatever may be the views of the
public as to railroad capitalization,
and altogether aside from the uues-
ton of railway mail pay in general
(Which the railways maintain is mad
equate) it surely cannot be the pur-
pose of the American people to force
the railroads to carry this new mail
matter without payment. The rail-
roads will carry the parcel post even
with the twenty-pound limit. ANY
other course on their part would i'm
pose such a serious Inconvenience
upon the general public as to be un-
thinkable"

would slip some articles belonging to
the shop which they were accused of
