Express firms say Iowa commission cannot fix C O D rates
General counsel for the American and Adams Express companies told Iowa railroad commissioners that express rates on C O D shipments fall outside their jurisdiction and are a collection function, not transportation. He argued the practice is reasonable given the effort to locate funds and return them, noting typical 10 percent fees vs the express firms' near one percent. No decision was rendered.
