New Packing Requirements
For Express Shipments

Steps are being taken by the Amer
lean Railway Express Company to
prepare for the New Express pack
ing requirements, which go into eff
feet on December 10.
Shippers are being advised to study
the new rules which have been ap-
proved by the United States Rail
road Administration, SO that they
may be able to adjust their packing
methods to the Forthcoming new
standards.
Under the new regulations which
are endorsed in what is known tech
nically as Supplement No. 5 to Ex-
press Classification No. 26, all ship
ments sent by express weighing over
25 pounds, must be packed in wooden
containers, or cartons of fibre board,
pulp-board or corrugated strawboard
material of specified test strengths.
This means that after December 10,
packages over the 25-pound limit will
not be accepted by the American Rail-
way Express Company, handling the
express business of the entire Com
pany as agent of the Railroad Ad-
ministration, if only paper wrapped,
nor will ordinary paper boxes, wrap
ped or unwrapped, be accepted as
suitable protection for these heavier
shipments. The regulations however,
do not affect shipments under 25
pounds.
Regular shippers will not be mysti-
fled by the new regulations, as they
follow very closely the packing re-
quirements long in vogue in the
freight service.
The express regulations, however
allow little more latitude in the
size of the carton used. The enforce
ment of the new rule was postponed
until December 10, so that shippers
would have plenty of time to prepare
themselves for this change in express
packing standards.
The opinion is expressed that these
new rules will not work any hardship
on shippers, but should operate dis
tinctly in their interest, as the rules
will provide additional safeguards for
merchandise and transit.
Moreover they will establish a
uniformity of express packing rules
which heretofore has been lacking.
The new order does not affect the
movement of food products by express
which are ordinarily shipped in crates
or barrels.
The shipping public will undoubt-
edly welcome the new standards,
when they understand them, and the
reason for putting them into effect.
Never before in the history of the
country has the express traffic reach
ed such proportions as it has assumed
to-day.
At the same time, there has been
comparatively little increase in the
amount of car space available for
this business, while the Express Com
pany has been asked to carry heavier
shipments and commodities of every
conceivable kind.
Agent D. W. Hoppock is able to
supply shippers with copies of Sup
pliment No to Express Classifica-
tion No. 26 in which the new rules
are outlined in detail.

stand and tell the whole truth, which
is sufficient"

the jail of Sheriff Phineas 4. Seaman,
most of the day. Both wear deep mourn
ing.
Other visitors. besides Or. Joseph A.

papers to help him in his search for the
man who told Louis Deferrari of West
bury that Lebaudy had offered him

iine
