New Express
Packing Rules

Preparations are being made to pul
the new express packing rules into ef-
feet os December 10, the date author
lied by the United States Railroad
Administration, which recently ap-
proved the new requirements. This is
regarded by express traffic officials as
one of the most effective steps taken
to safeguard merchandise in transit
since the unification Of the various
lines into the American Railway Ex-
press Company, which is agent of the
Government is handling the express
business Of the entire country.
The new rules were put ito effect 10
induce shippers to turn their business
over to the carrier So that it can, with
reasonable care on the part of the ex-
press company. be handled properly.
The rules will not permit the use OF
paper wrapping for packages over Is
pounds. nor of ordinary paper boxes,
wrapped or unwrapped when the
weight of the contents is over that
limit. For shipments over Is pounds,
wooden containers, or fireboard, pulp
board or corrugated strawboard con-
tainers of specified test strengths, are
REQUIRED.
This Standardization Of express rules
will place the. express service on The
same basis as freight. 50 far as the
character Of the cartons used is con
cerned. In fact. the new express rules
wee modelled on those of the railroad
and require the same kind of contain
ers, evcent that in the express service
wider latitude is permitted in the
size of the cartons used. The new reg
ulations are embodied In Supplement
No. 5, to Express Classification No. 26
copies Of which may be secured at any
EXPRESS office.
The regulations were authorized bv
the railroad Administrators tn meet

press traffic has reached abnormal
proportions without substantial IN
crease IN the car facilities avaiable for
handling It. Express traffic supervisors
are Of the oninion that the stronger
containers will very perceptibIy help
To improve the express service and to
protect the miscellaneous commodities
