EXPRESS
COMPANY
RESTORES
OLD RATES
LOCAL SHIPPERS BENEFITED
ACTION OF COMPANY

The Wells Fargo Express company
last month issued a new tariff sched-
ule that Disseminated against Canon
City in rates as compared with Pueblo
and Denver on the shipment Of fruits
and vegetables to points in Kansas.
principally east OF Newton in that
state. AS there was no apparent war
rant or justification for the increased
charges on Canon City business. the
matter was taken up by the chamber
OF commerce and w. J. Lipdenberger
appointed to compile data showing the
injustice of the new tarin.
Under the old tariff schedule, Dem
yer and Pueblo had a general benefit
of 26 cents per hundred pounds over
Canon City to Kansas points. but un-
der the new rate Denver and Pueblo
were permitted to enjoy an average
Of 73 cents a hundred pounds to the
same competitive points in Kansas.
The unfairness to Canon City ship
pers under the new rate was so mani
fest as to call for loud protest from
our people to its imposition. Mr.. Lin
denberger took up the matter with
great energy and prepared a very com
prehensive table OF facts and figures
setting forth the iniquity Of the In
creased charges and asked for re-
adjustment Of rates. He pointed out
that an average increase Of 73c per
cwt-. what Canon shippers would have
to pay over Denver and Pueblo to the
same Kansas competitive points. was
discrimination against this locality
and an unreasonable obstacle to be
overcome in business and would have
tically close the markets Of eastern
Kansas to people here As an outlet
for their fruit and other produce
1t was shown that under the new
schedule the cost OF sending nun
dred pound shipment by express from
Canon City to Kansas City would he

City to Pueblo paying the local
charges between the two places.
amounting to fifty cents. and re-billing

es, q saving Of 30 cents could be made
After compiling and collating his
figures in such way as to be easily
comprehended. Mr. Lindenberger sub
mitted them to Grant Dickinson. local
agent Of the Wells Fargo Express com
pany. they were forwarded to the Of
fees in San Francisco and subsequent
ly sent to the officials in New York
for re-adjustment.
Having become convinced OF the
righteousness of Canon City's conten-

Bethlehem, Pa. March 2.-Surely a
big boom to local industry at the
Bethlehem steel works the last seven
months, or since the war broke out in
Europe, has been the filling OF big
orders for England and even France
and Russia in the way OF various
kinds OF ammunition OF war. Today
the war departments of this great
plant are being rushed night and day.
Daily long trains of loaded shrapnel
shells issue out from the yards OF the
plant. mostly under cover of darkness,
and speed out into the night destined
for Canadian points, from where the
shells and weapons find their way to
various battle fronts. Dispatches a
few days ago from Berlin stated that
shells picked up In France indicated
American make.
While no official figures can be OBJ
tanned, workmen are free in express
ing the opinion that so far war ma
terial to the value Of at least $12,000,-
900 has been shipped. This does not
only mean shrapnel shells, but big
guns, etc.
