Bradley, vice-president of the company, testified that hla company never bad made a rate leaa than two and a half times the first-class rail freight rate. '"Is that a reasonable rate?" Inquired Commissioner Lane. 'I do not think two and a half times the first-class freight rate Is enough for the service wa give."" replied Mr. Bradley. "All in all. our rates the country over are approximately three times the first-class freight rate." Mr. Bradley said that tn hla opinion a flat express rate would be too high for short distances and too low for long distances. -What would you do If Congress should authorise the parcels post?" asked Commissioner Lane. -I do not know." Mr. Bradley re plied. "Such a law. In my Judgment, would be destructive to our business." Walter D.
