try as ts the matter Of pay In connec-
ton with the introduction and extension
OF parcel post service.
Cite Oficial Testimony.
THE testimony of the Post ONCE De-
partment before the Senate committee
July % showed that the first three
months business Of the department after
the installation Of the parcel post had a
gross increase IN postal revenue of 14.o4
per cent, of which at least GIG per
cent was attributed to the new parcel
post business
ION the basis of this statement the
government must have collected not
less than $11.266.S00 in revenue from
the parcel post for the first six months,
beginning January !.
AS this was before any arrange
ments had been made to reimburse the
railroads for taking care of this new
feature of the postal service. not one
dollar Of this big return was paid 10
any of them for transporting the en-
tire business referred to.
ITO remunerate the transportation
companies for the additional parcel
post business transported. Congress
provided. beginning July IT, per
cent gross increase in the mail pay
based upon rates, zones and weight
limit In the original act although the
additional business transported amount
ed to at least 9.16 per cent. according
to the testimony Of the Post Office De-
partment, or nearly double that pro-
vided in the allowance.
Look for Large Business.
The extension of the parcel post to
be inaugurated August Is. when the
weight limit is to be raised from eleven
to twenty pounds and mileage in
creased, is certain to result in a vast
enlargement Of business.
THE government will collect postage
on this business, but no provision has
yet been made to pay the railroads for
transporting 1t. Not only will they re-
cetve no compensation for this in
creased business but will suffer the
actual loss of earnings previously de-
rived from the same traffic when car
ried as express and freight.
