PARCEL POST RATE

HOWEVER, TRAFFIC MANAGER
WALSH SAYS THERE is NO
SUGGESTION OF ACTION.

There is no likelihood, or even 50
much as a suggestion from any source
that the rates paid by the public on
parcels post be Increased in the slight
est" says Traffic Manager Walsh of
the G.. G. & p Railroad in a letter adj
dressed to The News bearing upon the
story carried I'm these columns a few
days ago under this caption: May in
crease Rates for Shipping by Parcels
Post"
In the letter Traffic Manager Walsh
says THE article appears some what
misleading and for fear | may have
lInconciously been responsible, beg
leave to make explanation" The story
appearing under the head referred to
was based upon information kindly
furnished The News by Mr. Walsh.
In the letter Mr.. Walsh endorses
among others three statements made
in the article, namely: that parcels
are being hauled by the roads for the
Government cheaper than they would
haul them for individuals, that the
roads have chafed under this condition
and that in the future the Interstate
Comerce Commission is to fix rates for
hauling parcels.
The authority for the caption of the
story referred to above was arrived at
In the following manner of reasoning:
it Is fact that parcel post packages
are being carried about as cheap as
possible and it is also true that the
government is forcing the railroads to
carry the packages at a very low rate,
So low that they are chatting" under
the burden.
In the future the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission is to fix the rates.
We presume that body will grant the
roads a fair compensation, increasing
