A reduction in express rates OF from
. to s cents, between Washington and
Baltimore, is said to be proposed by
express companies. This is the state.
ment made by New York shippers, who
say that in order to fight for existence
against the increasing parcel post ship
ments the express companies plan a
general reduction in rates.
The Postmaster General has agreed
with Commissioner Clark. of the Inter
state Commerce Commission that eX-
press companies, in their present form.
must be forced out of existence.
The news of the proposed reduction
in express rates follows the announce
ment of lower rates for parcel post.
effective August Is. The reduction in
rates for the local zone are material.
The order of the Postmaster General
provides that the first zone is to in
clude the local delivery territory of any
Office. and that the first zone rate will
apply to all packages for local and car
rier delivery and is extended to points
within $50 miles of Washington
The second zone will include the re-
mainder Of the present first zone. the
entire present second zone and all units
Of area wholly or partly within a radius
Of $50 miles from. any postoffice.
The present rate in the first zone on
parcels OF four ounces or more will be
reduced from cents for the first pound
and l cent for each additional pound to
cents for the first pound and I cent
for each additional two pounds or frac-
ton thereof. In the second zone the
rate will be reduced from D cents for
the first pound and cents for each
additional pound, or cents for the first
pound and cents for each additional
pound. to cents for the first pound

I first and second zones will be increased
| from II pounds to 20 pounds.
| The general local agent of an express
company said yesterday that he had re-
ceived no notice OF a reduction in express
rates. Such notice. he said, would be sent
| from New York. The view the Fost-
master General has expressed Is:
THE parcel post must absorb most of
the express business OF the country. The
express companies will pass out in the
course OF time.
I'VE are going TO improve and enlarge
the parcel post service from time to time
until the people get the best service pos
sible under the conditions. 1t will take
five, ten. or perhaps fifteen years to make
the service what 1t ought to be. but i'm
provement Is certain to come.
THE step just taken by the depart
ment, in increasing the limit OF the parcel
from eleven to twenty pounds. is a logi-
cal step. 1t is a forerunner of what will
come"
While Mr.. Rurleson believes that ex
press competition will be eliminated, he
will not ask the Attorney General to give
an opinion on the legal meaning of
packet So as to keep express COM
panies from competing for the package
business now done by the parcel post.
That question will not be brought up. .
said Mr.. Burleson. II believe that when
the final contest comes over the parcel
business 1t will be between the railroads
and the government, and not the express
companies"
1t is believed at the Postoffice Depart
ment by the experts that soon after the
limit of the parcel is increased to l00
pounds some OF the express companies
will quit the field. The purpose of the
department now. 1t is understood. is to
increase the limit of the package to LOO
pounds within a year from the time thu
regulation providing for twenty pounds
goes into effect

PUBLIC PRINTER FORD
DENIES "SHAKE-UP"
New G. P. o. Head Says There will
Be No General Plan of
Removal.

That he has ever prophesied shake
up in the Government Printing Once, as
he has been quoted with doing in some
quarters. was denied by Public Printer
Cornelius Ford yesterday afternoon.
Il have never made any statement that
would lead any one to think that there
was to be 'shake-up' in the Government
Printing Office" said MIR. Ford. There
may be some changes to make for the
sake of efficiency, just as are sometimes
necessary in any business, but there will
be no 'shake-up.'
Il am not ready at this time to say
what changes may be necessary-there
may not he any made-but think that at
the end of a weeks time / probably will

trio light plants at Devils Lake and
Rugby, but disposed Of his interests
