Chicago, May 10.— The recent action
of the Burlington in outtlng the rataa
on transcontinental mall to meet the
competition in service and tim e of the
Rock Island, Is having an important
bearing on the question of mail com­
pensation generally.
I t is said that the voluntary reduc­
tion made by the Burlington is being
seriously considered by the postmaster
general in determining whether the to­
tal compensation received by the m il-
roads shall be reduced between $5,000,-
000 and $6,000,000 annually.
This fact became apparent, It is
stated, last Wednesday, when a com­
mittee o f prominent railroad
men
called on tne postmaster general with
a petition asking him to rescind the
order requiring the total tonnage car­
ried over a mail route for one week to
be divided by seven, instead of six, in
arriving at the average tonnage car­
ried. Bach a division as the poet mast­
er general is insisting on w ill reduce
the mail compensation nearly 14 per
cent.
The chairman o f the committee waa
W . W . Baldwin, assistant to President
Harris, of the Burlington.
Baldwin
was the man who oonveyed to the form­
er postmaster general tbs proposition of
the Burlington to cut Its rates to meet
the Rock Island competition.
The
postmaster general intimated that in
view o f the voluntary reduction, it
might be difficult for him to be con­
vinced that the m ail pay could not
stand a general cut.
