One firm, whose premises I was permitted to see, employ, altogether, in Germany or elsewhere, 1, 000 persons. These sixty firms in Berlin have formed a combination for the joint purpose of fixing rates and making up profitable loads. Under the first head they check excessive competi- tion and any " cutting " of rates. The trader who thinks that one forwarding agent is charging him too much, and goes elsewhere, will find the charges still the same. Under the second head the combination receives ...at central depots the consignments collected by its members, and makes them up into 5 or lo-ton lots, for which lower terms can be obtained from the railways than if the individual consign- ments were forwarded separately by the senders. It is claimed that in this arrangement there is a benefit both for TRANSPORT CONDITIONS COMPARED. 27 the senders and for the forwarding agents, the senders paying less than they would to the railway for single consignments, while the forwarding agents gain their profit from the balance of the difference in charge between a small consignment and a 5 or lo-ton lot.
