“We Are Never Knowingly Undersold.”
Passed by the house after the
most) harrowing debates and hnr-
rassing of witnewm and public
hearings, the bill had the approval
of the majority of the house
members, excepting those from
the Solid South, who .saw in it
an effort on the part of the
northern memibers to use the t)ill
as a vote getting footbf.^1, and
80 expressed themselves on rhe
floor,
£ut it was in the senate that
the most difficulty was experie?!-
ed, wfcere Some 80 members ri
that body were u^ifor reelection
and couldn’t,afford to have their
opinions spread on the Confre-
seiona.1 Record for public inspec
tion. Their opposition to the uill
was open and hostility to +J.e
measure expressed itself in re
criminations and denials of state
ments.
Declaring tha'b the vote was

A new and broader program
for the prevention of accidents
in the conduct of express ser
vice has been inauguarated by
the Railway Express Agency, it
was announced today by L. O.
Head, president of the com
pany. Some sixty thousand em-*
ployes of the Agency in major
cities and principal towns
throughout the country will
participate actively in the plan
and select local safety commit
tees to carry it forward.
“Our major objective . is to
make it difficut for-employes
to have accidents,” said Mr.
Head, "and we are using sug
gestions they offer, based on
their long experience, in formu
lating 
ery of express shipments at
principal centers of population,
the Express Agency now uses
more than 12,000 motor vehie«
les of various types, which is
said to be the largest in the
Country, under One manage
ment. But because of the ex
pedited character of the ser
vice, these trucks must operate
in the most congested sections
of the cities and towns at
hours, when local street traf
fic is at its height.
