obtainable by air, the railroads maintain cost the public is greatly increased, Mr Gardner C. Hudson, News and Financial Editon of Railroad Age Forum, asserts the Post Office pays 18.60 cents per ton mile for carrying three-cent mall by air between New York and Chicago, while the cost by rail is only 8.71 centa.
Another objection of the rail- is that meil handling equipment in which, at GovELD" ment in latence, they have in- vested nearly one billion dollars is in danger of becoming idle. The postal unions claim
that -
since October of 1934 nearly 300 mail clerks have been laid of trains.
Further, the railroads while losing business to the airlines still have to maintain stand-by mall handling facilities on pas. senger runs for the times” the | airlines cannot handle the mall because of weather or lack of space,
The argument which the rails roads are counting on to clinch the dispute in their favour the contention that transporting by air a letter bearing only throw conta postage is illegal. The law, says the railroads, puts premiun on airmail handing and says all airmail must carry. an airmail stamp.
It is on this ground, that the railroads have petitioned tho CAB to halt the practice. No timă for a hearing hur been set.
The law has been circum- vented so far by the Post Olca with the claim it is only con ducting an "experiment" to acó if air shipment of three-cont mail is practical. Unless the law is changed, however, it is not likely the Post Office will be permitted to indefinitely -con- |únua its programme.
