This year's meeting was one tof the largest in the history of the order and could be termed a success Oa every sense of the word. All the affalrs of the organisation are In good shape and the convention showed Its. itpreclation of the present manage meant's work by re-electing all of the old offleers. We have had great suc. cesa durlng the past year in obtaining sdhedules from the different railroads,. It is estimated that we secured from l6 to 30 more last year than ever be. tore In the history of the organization during a similar time. "Now that the Northern Pacific is Installlng telephones we will arrange a schedule with the company covering the telephone operators. We have a comnmittee in St. Paul at the present time for the purpose of talking over the schedule with the offlcials of the road, and It looks to me as it every thing would be harmonious. The Mil waukee system maintained the union scale when it installed the telephone system and it is probable that the Northern Pacific will not attempt a cut In wages. I hope to see a peaceable settlement that is fair, both to the company and ourselves." Mr. Rowland left on No. 5 last even Lng for Arlee.

EXPRESS CARRIERS UNDER THE BAN INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM MISSION ORDERS INVESTIGA TION OF COMPANIES. Washingtton, July I.--A sweeping In ventigation of all the express comn pnli(s affectedl by theiiy Interstate coi. mlerce law's wa. . todaly ordered by the interstate (nmmerc', commilsslion ol its owntl mition. E.:vidently In antlciption of this a' tion by the commlission, practically all of the explrtess compani es, with the ex reption of the Long i1sland. late yester day filed new tariff notices, which ire believed to be material reductions In rates. It was said today that it would require several months to compare these rates with those now In exist ence. It was announced, however, that the filing of the new rates ,would .not af feet the investigation in any way. This investIgation will he one of the widest In scope ever undertaken by the com mission and not only will he conduct ed as to rates, but will include the practices, accounts and revenues of the various companies. More than a year ago a number of the leading commercial organizations of the country petitioned the commis sion for a general investigation Into the rates and methods of the express onmpanles and In its order today tile commission says the Investigation Is ordered to determine "whether such rates, classifications, regulations or practices, or any of them, are unjust or unreasonable or unjustly dlscrlml natory or ulndtuly preferential or preju dicial or otherwise In violation of the provisions of said act, and to deter mine the manner and method In which tihe business of said express companies and each of them Is conducted." The Defendants. The following carriers are named as parties defend(ant in the proceedings. Adams. Amerlcan, Borough, Cana dian, ('anadIan-Northern, Davenport & Mason's I)odd & (Chldls', Dunlap's, Earl & Prew's, Globe, Creat Northern, Morris, European & American, Na tional, Now England, New York & Bos ton Dispatch, Northern Pacific, South ern, United States, Wells-Fargo, WVest ,ott andi Western Express companies; the Worcester D)lspatch, Dart & com pany, Manhattan Delivery company and tihe New England Dlspatch company, "and also the natural persons above named anld each of them who are en gaged in sucih express business under the above namles." The reductions in express rates filed yesterday are said to be imlportant only so far ia they affect what are known technl'iclly as combination ratets-that is. Ilstances In which shipments are nmade by two companies to a final destlination. Express combination rates long have been figured on a graduated scale of weights based upo)n 100 pounds. It tile raten it hl llundred Ipounds package is $1.00, for Instance., by the Adams Expreiss companllllny to it junction point with the United 'Express company and $1.00 from that junction point to the shipment's dtwtinatinl, the comlbined rate would be two dollars. IBy the teri.s of thie proposed tarlffs, the com blned rate would be $1.60, a reduction of 15 per cent. Ily reason of varying distances and varying weights of shipments, the ipercentage of the reductton also varies betwee'n points of origin and points of delstination, but the average reduction on comltlnations of graduate rates Is alpproxilmately 17 per cent. So for the examination of the new tariffs filed with the eonllmissilon discloses no re dluctioins in straight rates by single shipimenitsI, except in Instancles where manifest injustice apparently hereto fore Ilas been done. Tihe prioposed tariffs, which are to |ibecome effec'tive on August 1. will ,be included in the inquiry instituted today by the coimmissinn o. If the inquiry should show the reductions are not, in tile olpinlon of the commnisslon, suf ficient to menet the requiremenlts of the exigencles they will probably be further reduced.
