WASHINGTON. Nov 20. - Following
close on the heels OF Government con-
troll and operation of the American Rail-
way Express Company Director-General
McAdoo issued orders to-day providing
for sweeping increase in express rates
to raise approximately 100000 in
additional revenue. At the same time he
let II be known that the express COM
pany share OF this, so per cent. or
Sl2.0oo,000, would go to the express
company employees in increased wages.
In the Eastern territory the increase
Will be between 16 cents and II cents
a hundred pounds on all merchandise
rates regardless of distance hauled: In
the remainder OF the country the in
creases range from 10 to IL cents a
hundred pounds on all commercial rates.
In all instance Increases on food prod
ucts will be about three-quarters OF tina,
on the merchandise rates.
The methodof applying the increase
was approved by the I. c. c. after pub
lie hearings. The commission pointed
out that the Eastern territory was the
section Of lowest rates and greatest
costs and that the increase would have
a levelling effect though It disturbed the
zone system instituted by the commits
sion.
The Eastern territory has been
swaniped with express business for two
years during increasing freight rates in
that territory. which are larger than
elsewhere. In addition 1t has a bulk
OF the short haul traffic. on which the
costs are relatively high because OF the
teYtninal handling. 1t is hoped to In a
measure restore the balance between
freight and express. -
II is expected by the Railroad Admin
istration that the increased express
rates will have the effect Of transferring
considerable OF the short haul business
20 motor trucks as well as back to the
freight service and OF dIverting much
more OF the parcel business TO the parcel

poses which animated Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson in his action
1t will be pointed out by Senators that
the suppression OF the freedom Of the
press can be no better effected than
through transferenco OF control Of. the
cables to a Government official at this
time. This, the Senators point out, will
be the possible menace TO the freedom
Of the press which the situation will now
present.
The President has expressed a deter
mination to make George Creel and the
remnant of the Committee on Public In
formation. which has been transferred
to Paris. the output point for all official
news regarding the peace conference.
