&. N. FAST MAIL
TRAFFIC CHIEF CONSIDERS THAT
MOVE IF GOVERNMENT CHANG
Es RATEs-HAS REDUCED TIME
FOR MAIL DELIVERY TWENTY
FOUR HOURS,

hat the Great Northern's fast mail
from Chicago, which makes the rim
from ST. Paul to Seattle in At hours
and 80 minutes, will be dropped and
all mail carried on the regular passen-
ger trains, is the prospect held out by
w. ., baskerville, mail traffic agent of
the Great Northern, in case the meth
cd OF government pay for carrying he
mails IS changed. Mr., Baskerville is
IN washington, where he testified re-
gently before the Bourne committee. of
the senate which is investigating the
railway mail question. He opposed the
plan Of Frank H. Hitchcock. former
postmaster general to pay the rail
roads by space instead of by weight
for carrying the mail, and declaTeS
that under the Hitchcock plan it would
De impossible to justify a continuance
OF the fast mail,
Running Time Reduced.
The Great Northern fast mail has
reduced the time for delivery of mails
to Pacific coast points by twenty-four
hours each way, 1t cut the time from
New York to Seattle from four and
one-half to three and one-half DAYS,
from Chicago to Seattle from three
and one-halt to two and one-half days,
ana from the twin cities to Seattle
from three to two days.
According to Mr. Baskerville, the
tast mail train is much more expensive
TO run ing passenger trains, and fig
ured on the aYerag cost OF PASSENGER
service, 1t does not now pay the com
pany, based on Document 105, the cal
culatlons of Mr.. Hitchcock as to the
cost OF handling mail, though this bas-
IS is claimed by the companies to be
Tar too low. On this basis the com,
pany figures the cost of operating the
fast mail at $1,260,024, while adding it's
proper share Of the income on the
company's capital would increase the
cost to $1,414,000. The total mail pay
OF the Great Northern for 1908, the
year covered by the Hitchcock report,
was $l.45S,00 On the basis of space
furnished, the fast mail earned only
$46s,b76 Of this amount,
Would Be Improbable.
"This would be apout the third of
the 8 OF. operation of this train as
SHOWN by Document 105," said Mr..
BASKERVILLE to the senate committee,
mot including anything for capital
cost.
Owing to the long run and high
speed Of this train there is great con-
"centration Of weight of mail, as an IN
ducement for us to run 1t, but the
space basis of payment would SO re- |
duce our pay and render it SO uunpref- |
that no comapny can afford to
contine it. AS before stated, we are
not now paid it's actual cost on the
basis of Document 105. The SPACE
basis, upon any plan I have heard
suggested, would give us still less
