The antitrust investigation of the COM

members of the committee are inclined to
limit the hearings In such manner as to
preclude the old and well known cry of
complaint against trusts i'll general. In

made study of trust and monopoly sub

THE POSTAL SERVICE
W.-ParceI Post Abroad.
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

The United States was somewhat of a
laggard among the more progressive
nations in the establishment of par
eel post service, in spite of the fact
that without exception the system
worked well wherever it was tried out
under reasonably good auspices. Eng
land established its parcel post system
i'll 1888 1t makes direct contracts with
the railroads to handle parcels for
the service, much after the fashion of
the express company contracts in the
United States. Since 1904 the law has
railroads may be terminated by either
party upon a twelvemonth notice but
neither side has yet seen fit to serve
such notice.
The English railroads under these
contracts. are bound to carry any par
eel rendered by the postmaster general
cr his agents and they are allowed So
per cenc of the postage on the parcels
carried as their compensation for
carrying them. Each "rail-borne'' pack
age is listed at the end of the jour-
ney and the post office department
makes regular remittances to the Lon
don railroad clearing house committee
Of the amounts due the railroads.
There is a fat rate in the English
GaTCeI post SySIcul lnStestu u IL SOilCS
of zone rates applies In this coun-
try. The one-pound rate is cents, and
the eleven-pound rate. the maximum
weight allowed is % cents. With the
flat rate it has been found in England
that the parcel post cannot compete
with private enterprises, or with the
railroads themselves in the handling
of short distance business. IT therefore
happens that in England the parcel
post is burdened with all of the unre-
muneratively haul packages. While 1t
fails to get the remunerative short
haul business. The government has
established motor van parcel post serv-
ice out of many of the bigger cities,
finding it cheaper to haul the parcels
by public highway than to pay the
railroads 55 per cent of the postage.
One of the longest of these motor van
runs is between London and Birmlng-
ham and another is between Bristol
and London, each of these routes being
over q hundred miles long.
