The Express company argues that it is’ not adequately compensated for re-icing fish while in transit. That, while the average cost of $5.00 a ton for ice had not materi- ally changed, labor costs have in- creased to where the company loses, especially if re-icing is neces- sary two or three times for one shipment. The company also claims some shippers are taking advan- tage of the present ruling by ship- ping more than stated in the in- voice. Fish shippers argued that the rule has operated effectively for the 50 years since it was estab- lished, and that it gives the Rail- way Express Company compensation. Rates for fish nave gone up | periodically, but, the the company has had a correspond- ing increase in revenue. They also claim the company penalizes the shippers who use lots of ice as preservative.

Fourteen ap- | plications were received for this $12,000-a-year post. “We are highly flattered,” said Rothwell, “by the high type of ap- plicant. Our problem is to choose among the several outstanding men.” Asked if they were all persons of experience in fisheries, Roth- well said, “Well, the qualifications are so vast and some of them are so diversified, that it is harq to say whether fisheries or adminis- lrative experience is more import- ant.” TUESDAY FLIGHTS Twelve passengers arrived and 12 left by Pan American Clipper yesterday as follows: From Seattle: Oliver Walker, M.
