‘SAVING BOY BEST,’
VERSION OF JUDGE

newsboys and messenger boys at the an
nual Christmas banquet in the Y. M. C. A.
The eighth annual dinner was given by

Turkey with all irs setting of <lelicacies
was served to more than 300 lads, and
music hy the orchestra of Boy Scout
troop No. 34 of the Troub Memorial
Church was given during the dinner. "
Mayor Charles W. Jewett gave an ad
dress. urging the boys to make the moat

good citlxens of themselves. He advised

M’CHORD OPPOSES
EXPRESS MERGER
Disapproves Plan Which
Stifles Competition.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Merger of the
four principal express companies Into
the American Railway Express Company,
authorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, now makes it impossible for
any other express company to enter the
field in competition with the consolidated
company, it was charged by Commis
sioner McChord today. McChord asserted
the merger only creates a greater monop
oly in the express business. He assails
the majority opinion of the commission
and declares that the granting of the
application to combine the four expreshj
units was fraught with elements of dan
ger to the public. Commissioners Me-
Chord and Meyer were arrayed against
the other seven commissioners upon the
proposition.
“I cannot agree with the conclusion
of the majority that the public interest
will be promoted by this consolidation,”
McChord said.
“The authorization of the consolidation
will destroy every semblance of com
petition in the express business, both as
to rates and service, thus confirming an
existing monopoly.
“It may be true that there is now
no competition as to express transporta
tion charges. But prior to the consoli
dation there was competition with re
spect to service which was of benefit to
the public.
“It will now be practically impossible
for another company to enter the ex
press business in competition with the
consolidated company.
“We may regulate the rates and cer
tain of the practices of the American
Railway Express Company, but we will
have no control over Its attitude toward
the public. We cannot require it to ren
der to the public that efficiency, courtesy
and fair dealing which competition com
pels."
Commissioner/McChord stated that the
time is ripe for the railway systems of
the country to seriously consider the
matter of conducting the express business
themselves.
