INTERSTATE COMMERCE
 BODY BOOSTED RATES.


 It is true that local express rates were increased Feb. 1, according to a Hartford official of the Adams Ex- press Company. who was questioned recently concerning the protest of the directors of the state business mems association against the increases
 "Yes," said this official, "the rates are higher than they were before Feb. 1, when the change was made The new schedule was prepared by the interstate commerce commission, and given to the express companies to pub fish and put in effect. This has been done, with the result that the rates for short distances are increased and the rates for long distances cut.
 For instance, the local rate here was 40 cents a hundred. This has been increased to 60 cents The New York-Boston rate has been increased from 75 cents to 90 cents a hundred. Other rates for short distances show a similar increase.''
