OFFICIAL DEFENDS COURSE
Service, Says Vice-President Brad
ley, Justifies More KILmluatlon
of "Double Graduate Charge"
Coxts Million a Year.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IT. Ratea of the
American Kxpresa Company are sub
stantially three times the first-class
rates of railroads. This was devel
oped today at the Investigation by In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Lane
Into the rates and methods of express
companies.
J. H. 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. Hlnes. counsel for the ex
press companies, submitted a state
ment showing that in the past 10 years
the companies bad made 328 Increases
tn their merchandise ratea and 42.735
decreases. In their general, special and
commodity rates, the Increases had
been 137 and the decreases 6061. In
the elimination, at the auggestlon of
tha Commission, of the double graduate
charge, Mr. Hlnes said, the reduction
of the revenue bad aggregated $1,000.
