EXPRESS COMPANIES LIE DOWN. 



Accept Inevitable and Reduce Rates. 



I'^xpress rates aclualiy will come 

 ddwn hecemlier 1; the new rates pr<'- 

 scrilied liy the Interstate ("oiniuerce 

 ( diiimissidi) will lie put into cdVect with- 

 out further (dijectidii on tiie jiait of tlie 

 carriers. This is the announeeinent 

 made by W'alkei' |). Mines, leyal rep 

 resentativ <' of the companies in the 

 (iylit they jiax'e made ayainst the or- 

 der of the cominissioii, •\vhicli is e(jiii\- 

 ;ileiit to ;i general reduction of fi'oni 

 lifteeii to t wi'nty-fi\(' per cent, and is 

 e,\|iected to save shippers from $i?0.- 

 (Xiii.ddd to $40,l)(lO,tMin per year. 



It had been expected that, the ex- 

 press companies holdintj tliat tlie block 

 rates and re\ ised ]ii'actic(>s ordered by 

 the commissi(»n would so seriouslx' nien- 

 ace their ie\ ctiue, the ordei- would lie 

 tak(>n into the f(>deral courts as con- 

 fiscatory of their leejil propeity lichts. 



Accordiiie to >ail\ ices from W'.'isliiiiL; 



ton. Mr. Iliiii's, in j^i\'in<x notic(> to the 

 commission that the companies would 

 abide by tlie rate ordiM-. stated thai 

 while his clients had "reat a|i|ir(dieii 

 sioii as to the outcome fiom puttiiic 

 into elfect the block rates and re\ ise,| 

 pr.'ictices I'ecommemled by the commis 

 sion, they hoped tliercdiy to win tin 

 coiilidence cd' that Imdy, the state com 

 missions and the public. 



The notice that the companies ^vill 

 accept and |>ut into <d1'ect the lowei 

 rates as ordered by the coinniission 

 will therefore come as pli'asant news to 

 shippers ycnerally, some of whom ha\e 

 been expiN-tin^ lonji and [jrotracted 

 lejial obstructions to the rate reduc 

 tioiis. 



l'\ill details of the coininission 's or 

 del- riMhicini: rates, tojiether with its 

 sjiecial bearing on the iiorists' busi 

 ness, were ei\-(>n in The Koview at the 

 time tlie order was entered, issues for
