$900,000,000 ADDED
TO RAILROAD RATES
Average Increase in Passenger Fares
and Freight Kates Will Be in Ex
cess of 25 Per cent—All Intra
state Rates Included in
the Order.
Washington. May 27.—Examination
today of Director General McAdoo’s or
de' raising freight rates on a basis
of 25 per cent and passenger fares to
three cents a mile, and aboiishiug all
lower intrastate freight and passenger
rates indicated that the average in
crease will be higher than 25 per cent.
Many readjustments will be made by
the railroad administration, either on
its own initiative after receiving sug
gestions from shippers and state or
local authorities, or by order of the in
terstate commerce commission which
has. power to review and modify the
schedule. This will not prevent the
new rates from going into effect, pas
j senger fares June 10 and freight tariffs
June 25, for the commission today gave
its approval to the rate order without
hearings. The actjon was perfimctory,
and is not inteiflled to cut off later com
plaints and hearings on them.
State railroad or rate commissions
have no authority to change the rates,
the railroad administration holds, even
though many provisions of the new or
der more than double charges for short
hauls within states. The director gen
eral today explained in a telegram to
chairman of state commissions, how
ever, that he will welcome suggestions
for readjustment of rates on intrastate
traffic, and they will be referred to the
intrastate commerce commission for its
consideration in passing on specific
Tomplaints. State commissions also
may enter formal protests direct to the
intrastate commerce commission.
Many Modifications Probable.
*fhese complaints are expected to re
sult in hundreds of modifications af
fecting specific commodities or classes,
and rates between certain communi
ties, but probably will not reduce to
any great extent the total revenue to
be deprived from the sweeping in
creases, which is estimated at from
$800,000,000 to $900,000,000.
The additional charges must even
tually be absorbed in higher prices of
commodities, it was noted today by
shippers’ interests, and this effect may
be noticed particularly for coal, brick,
lumber, meats and grain, and for ma
terials shipped to market only a short
distance. Analysis of the new sched
ules showed that for hauls of from
five to fifty miles, particularly in states
which have their own intrastate classi
fications, rates will be raised by vary
ing amounts ranging from 25 to 150
cent.

I can, to which the captain assigns me.
4 Furthermore, I will attend the
regular meetings of the lodge, so I may
know what happens on special occa
sions.
5 I will make an honest endeavor
