EXPRESS RATES ARE
ORDERED LOWERED

Washington, Aug. 7--Reduction in
express rates, which will cost the
companies fully $26OOO;oOOT year.
approximately 16 per cent OF their
gross revenue, were ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day to become effective on or before
Oct. Is, 1918. Notable reforms in
practices also we're ordered.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way OF
modification of the present graduated
scale of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged OF slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered; for fifty pounds
or less all rates have been practically
reduced. For packages Of more than
four pounds going more than 200
miles and less than 1000, the new ex-
press rates are generally lower t'au
