5000 employees of the big express
companies have been thrown out of

tenn and the big reduction in rates
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which became effective
February /.

ecutive officers Of the companies to

and 1t was predicted to-day that sew
eral thousand other employees will
lose their Jobs or suffer a. salary re-
dutcion.
Not only are the express companies
reducing their working forces to save
money, but in thousands of the
smaller cities. where two or more
companies have operated under sep
arate roofs they are reducing rental
and drayage cost by housing all COM
panies under one roof

before February /. but 1t Is under
stood that between 1900 and 1000
