Sweeping cuts in express rates proposed by commission
The commission proposes dramatic reforms to express shipping fees especially for small parcels under four pounds, replacing current complex schedules with a block based rate system. New charges would vary by weight and distance with a 21 cent minimum for one pound and rates climbing to about 12 cents per pound for long distances. The plan aims to simplify pricing, publish uniform through rates, and reduce burdens on light packages while expanding farm to city trade.

Express Rates and Reforms Targeted by Commission Action
The commission orders immediate reforms in express company practices including reclassification of matter and package pricing. A hearing in October will address why proposed rate changes should not take effect, while a strong critique of graduated charges argues for rates based on small, common packages and parity with railroad service.
