Bay New Kate Would
Not Cover Expense
NEW TORK. July M.-The express
rates prescribed In the .report, of the
Interstate Commerce commission on ex
press companies win not produce enough
revenue te cover the cost of business.
according to a statement Issued today
after a meeting of express company offi
cials In this city. In support of this
contention It was announced -that the
companies weuld prepare statements
showing what tbe proposed rates would
produce on business actually dons. It
was also announced that the companies
would adopt the suggestions and direc
tions of the commission In regard to
"regulation and practlcea.,.
Tbe statement, which was given Out
as coming from "all the express com
panies," follows in part: ,."' .,. ;
"The report of the commission relates
to rates and practices; of the express
companies. -The -vital thing to the com
panies is the question of rates. The re
port recommends a basis of express rates
on a sons system which is entirely new,
totally replacing the present basis of
rate and tariffs
"Fortunately the commission has given
the express companies until October
to show whether the proposed rates
should be adopted. The companies will
meanwhile prepare statements showing
what the proposed rates would produce
oh business actually done, which' Infor
mattoh could :hdt have been! known here
tofore by either the' commission or the
companies.
"The question of reasonableness of the
rates Ts one that will be decided Judi
clously by the commission In October.
The companies are. not anticipating any
final action by the commission that will
be destructive.? . v .: .' . ..
"Unfortunately, t the question of rates
has been up to this time complicated in
the investigation with that of regulations
and practices, which the managers of the
companies have been ' as desirous of
changing as the commission Itself."
