Of a Cent a Mile to Be
Made in Fares.

Tabulations of the proposed increases
Of passenger rates in trunk line and Of
ficfal classification territories. including
the rates into and out of Washington
| from and to points west were published
| today by the interstate commerce COM
| mission. In only one case, 80 far as the
\ rates out Of Washington go, was q re-
| duction shown, and that was In the rate
to Ogden. Utah, although in the case OF
Ell Paso, Tex. no change was made
So far as the tariff experts Of the COM
mission have been able to discover, there
have been no increases shown in the
rates out Of Washington to points north.
| including Philadelphia, New York and
New England points.
The advances amount to one-fourth of
| cent a mile The increases are in what
is technically known as trunk line terri
tory, between New York city and Pitts
nurgh and IN Central Passenger Associa-
tion territory between Pittsburgh and
Chicago and st. Louis. Within Centra:
Passenger Association territory the new
| fares will become effective December l,
and in trunk line territory and between
the Two territories they will become ef-
fectfre December 10.
The proposed advances were made
by the railroads after the interstate
commerce commission had suggested
increased passenger fares as one meth.
cd by which the revenues of the car.
rfers might be increased. The commits.
sion is receiving some protests against
the proposed increases, but at this tim.
1t is regarded as likely that the tariffs
filed by the roads will not be sus.
pended.
