Parcel Post Rates
 To be Increased

SEATTLE, Aug S.--Pursuant to instructions recently received from Washington, the local branch of the postoffice department announced an increase in parcels post rates today. The announcement comes as sur prise to local people, as it was thought that the revenues acquired by the government in this manner were enormous.
 Interviewed today concerning the announcement, prominent postal official stated that such move is neces say on the part of the govern ment. He says that since the par cels post policy was inaugurated, the mails are more than three times as heavy as before, necesSitating the expenditure of larger amount of money than is received from the parcels post, in clerk hire.
 Another reason given by him for the increase in rates, is the fact that too much miscellaneous matter is being sent through the mails by parcels post It is thought thai the recent action of the post department will have the effect Of stopping such practice, as the rates announced today are practically the same as express rates.
