FOR ONCE CONGRESS-
 FORGOT THE RAILROADS

Olympia, Jan. 21-When the gov ernmeut started the parcel post system in operation, it made no pro vision for paying the railroads for the additional business and now there is a cry going up from the heads of the various companies for a new adjustment of rates. The officials declare that their compan- les are underpald for handling Unit ed States mail. the addition of the parcel post bringing forth afresh the protest.
 When congress authorized the establishment O. the parcels post it made no provision for the remuner- ation of the railroads, which will be compelled to carry this additional business free for some years unless the national law makers authorize an earlier adjustment of existing contracts" says Mir. J. p. OBrieu vice-president and general manager Of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company.
 The committee on railway mai pay, representing 214275 miles of railway in the United states, oper. ated by 26S companies. has issued statement containing facts and l figures which prove that the railway mail pay does not equal the oper, ating expenses that it makes neces- sary, leaving nothing for return up on the value Of the property.
 The railroads are anxious to serve the people, but they cannot be expected to continue to do this at a great loss entailed through the failure of the United states gov ernment to properly reimburse them for services rendered. Mail weigh ings are made Quadriennally. Prior to the next weighing ot mail the carrying lines start to lose immense sums"
