'. U Overcharge Is Promptly Paid by : j Companies; Fowls . : tost in Shipment By Hymaa H. Cohea Produce interests say that benefits exist as well as detriment as a result of the. amalgamation of the express companies. They claim that under pres ent conditions they are able to secure refunds on overcharges more promptly than ever before; in fact, occasionally receive these refunds when they did not Know that any overcharge bad been made. Under the previous management of the express companies so much red tape bad to be unwound that it oftimes tired out the complaining receiver be fore he was able to secure proper ad justment of accounts. That under existing conditions huge losses are being suffered by the country shippers! as well as city receivers, Is the opinion expressed by the trade.
