GUT IN EXPRESS RAILS IS FOUGHT 8T COMPANIES Move to Oppose Order in Re taliation for New Parcels Post Law. WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.—Attorneys W pr. senting the American Express Company. the Southern. Wells Fargo, United States. Great Northern fifteen others, including the Ca in Express Company, and, express ni inies of Great Britain and France in international business with nr< =- companies in the I’nited States, ~ ared before the interstate com , ummission today and opposed Pt.-nt findings of the commission re <iu. .ng express rates generally through out rhe I'nited States. (luring the session or congress, when It l;1 s proposed by certain members to condemn express property and put it under government control, express com panies generally, it was understood, would accept the findings of the com mission. Much surprise was occa sioned when It was discovered that cer tain companies were preparing to tight the matter out in the courts. Preliminary to Appeal. Ihe arguments submitted todai by „ x press attorneys was preliminary, it is understood, to an appeal to either the commerce court or the United States district courts. It is supposed by men familiar with the express business that the express companies determined to fight the re ductions by reason of the adoption by congress of a parcels post for packages not exceeding eleven pounds in weight. Packages up to this weight form the bulk of the package business of the express companies. A number of railroad attorneys also were present, it is expected that the decision to appeal the case, should the commission refuse to recede from its present position, "will be backed up by the railroads of the country, as they will be hard hit. Railroads Hard Hit. The railroads receive payment from the express companies on a revenue basis and a curtailment -of charges naturally would result in a reduction of the amount paid by the express com panies to the railroads. The report of the interstate com merce commission, which has brought this flock of corporation attorneys abotft its ears, was issued on July 14, and is an exhaustive review of the abuses the express companies have been, and are. guilty of. the chief of which is exces sive charges. The commission, there fore. orders a general teduction of charges all along the line, which, in ef fect. would amount to an average re duction of about fifteen per cent.
