vey, representative of large mule

mand was for mules to be used in

EXPRESS LINES MERGED.
Business Of Country to Bo Under
Control of Monopoly.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Authority
was granted yesterday by the inter-
state commerce commission for per-
manent consolidation of the trans
portation business and properties OF
the Adams, American, Wells Fargo
and Southern Express companies into
the American Railway Express COM
pany. The commissioners said II was
their belief that the public would
best be served by one consolidated
company serving all lines with equal
rates.
The permit granted by the COM
mission was based on an application
iiled by the four express companies
last March. Hearings were held by
the commission in August. represent
tatives of the companies, shippers
and the public appearing to present
arguments.
The commission divided on the
question of permitting the express
consolidation. effected by the railroad
administration. as a war measure, to
be made permanent, Commissioners
McChord and Meyer dissenting from
the majority and presenting q min
ority report, written by the former.
The consolidation. the dissenting
report asserted. creates a monopoiy"
and destroys every semblance OF
competition"
The other members OF tho COM
mission declared they were .of the
opinion and find that the public In
terest will be prompted by the con-
solidation."
1T will now be practically Inn
possible" declared the report writ
ten by Commissioner McChord, for
another company to enter the ex-
press business in competition with
the consolidated express company.
We can. of course. regulate the
rates and certain practices OF J. the
American Railway Express Com
pany, but we will have no control
over Its attitude toward the public"
The report of the commission re-
cited that with the outbreak OF the
war. the express companies Included
in the consolidation were formed into
the American Railway Express Com
pany and took over the business OF
the country as the agent of the dir
ector general OF railroads snnd that
While thirty-three states appeared to
protest against the continuation OF
this combine, the protests were based
on inadequate service performed by
the joint express companies, which
the consolidated company admits
was poor, due to labor conditions.
The commission accepted the cons
tention Of the companies that SER
vice was performed more efkcjently
under the combined srnannkemer1t
than could have been possible under
separate management. The COM
mission ruled that suits pending
against the various companies must
be settled by the courts and not by
the interstate commerce commission.
While ''deploripg' the treatment
accorded by certain express COM
panies to claimants Of damages and
the practice OF only accepting service
in suits at their offices in New York,
the commission held it could not pass
upon that phase Of the claim.

TRADE WITH REDS

Treasury Department Remove. War.
time Restrictions Concerning BusI-
moss With Hussia-Wiii Have Little
Effect on Extension Of Trade Be-
tween Two Nations.
Washington Dec. 21.-Remova, of
tho wartime restrictions against
credit transactions with soviet Rus
sia was announced by the treasury
department yesterday with the ap-
Lroval OF the state department. The
raising OF this embargo 10 effective
from Saturday, Dec. Is. and its effect
Will be to suspend all barriers against
the expectation Of coin, bullion, and
currency from bolshevik Russia. or
which restrict dealings or exchange
transactions In Russian rubles. This
action. however, in no way means
government sanction OF commercial
relations.
Gives Force to Former Action.
The official treasury department
announcement said:
In order to give force and effect
to the action of the state department
in removing restrictions in the way
of trade and communication with So
Wet Russia, as announced by that de-
partment on July 7. 1920, all rules
and regulations restricting the expor-
'tation Of coin, bullion, and currency
to that part Of Russia now under the
control Of the so-called bolshevik
government, or restricting dealings
or exchange transactions in Russian
rubles or restricting transfers Of
credit or exchange transactions with
that part Of Russia now under the
control Of the so-called bolsheyik
government, have been suspended
until further notice."
Merely Weakens Propaganda.
The action announced is the re-
suit Of conferences the last few
weeks among department officials.
Great Importance is not attached by
them to the action, as it is not their
belief that the removal Of these cred
it restrictions will result in the de-
velopment of any extensive credit
transactions with Russia. Removal
of restrictions against trading with
Russia has not resulted in the re-
vival of trade with Russia and the
lifting Of the credit embargo is ex-
pected to have about the same ef-
feet
AS matter of fact, in the opinion
of high officials here, the removal Of
the credit embargo will merely de-
prive the bolsheviki of the opportun-
ity to use the existence of the credit
embargo for propaganda by contend
ing that these enbargoes by the ma
tons of the outside world have been
responsible for the failure Of soviet
Russia to develop trade with the out
side world.
