CONTRACTS FOR EXPRESS
COMPANY AUTHORIZED
Plan Outlines Distribution of Bal.
ances-Supplants Existing
Agreements.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday authorized the Ameri-
can Railway Express Company to
enter into contracts with the various
railroads over which the company
operates. The contract will supplant
existing contracts between the rail-
roads and the Wells Fargo. Adams.
American and Southern express COM
anies, the permanent merger of
which into the American Railway Ex-
press Company was recently approved
by the commission.
Under the old system OF separate
contracts between the carriers and
the companies the carriers received
a certain amount from each company
without respect to the amounts paid
by other companies. The new con-
tract provides:
after making the deduction for
expenses by groups. the balance re-
naming is to be distributed as fol-
lows: Two and one-half per cent to
the express company. and the re-
mainder among the railroads in the
group executing this form of contract
in the proportion that the gross, ex =
press transportation for the month
earned on each railroad bears to the
gross transportation on all such rail-
roads.
The contract also will specify that
should the revenues after deductions
for expenses. exceed per cent, the
excess shall be divided half and half
between the company and the carriers
until 1t reaches a 10 per cent maxi
mum. when it shall be divided one
fourth to the express companies and
