ORDERS SWEEPING CUT

articles for which specially low rates
are now charged, are substantially
the same as the present rates.
A permanent committee has been
appointed to revise the routes of ex-
press carriers to eliminate the circuit
tous routes which are now a cause
of considerable complaint on the part
of shippers.
Parcel Posts Eject.
With regard to the parcel post and
its effect upon the express COM
panies, the report says:
with regard to the small package
business of the parcel post. it should
be noted that II will still be carried
upon the railroads of the country.
So far as the rail carriers are con-
cerned, 1t is of no consequence to
them whether they furnish rail
transportation for the express re-
spondents herein or for the postoffice
department
THE express companies, moreover,
will not experience a gross loss of
their earnings upon these small par
GELS, but only of the net difference
between their earnings heretofore
and the cost to them of furnishing
terminal service upon these parcels.
The commissions conclusion is that
the establishment of the parcel post
is not a justification for any higher
scale of rates than the one here
shown to be reasonable.
Order Is for Two Years Only.
THE commissions order is for two
years only. That period will give
abundant opportunity for test of
these rates under varying conditions,
amounting to a normal average. In
no other way can the absolutely
proper rate basis for respondents be
finally determined. Respondents are
also at liberty at any time to bring
forward new facts as basis for
petition for modification of this or
any other order"
The decision of the commission, de-
ferred as 1t has been for more than
a year, followed an investigation
that occupied nearly six years of
hearings, special examinations of ac-
counts and reports covering in de-
tail the various phases of the ex-
press business. Nearly a carload of
books and papers have been filed,
and are part of the proceedings In
this case.

The records show that in 191
