Washington, May 27.-To meet wage increases just announced, anc higher costs of coal and other sup plies this year, Director General Mo Adoo today ordered railroad freight rates in the United States raised 2f per cent and passenger fares increas. cd to three cents mile from the present basis of about 2 1-2 cents. Ii is estimated that the program will bring between $S00000,000 and $900,- 000,000 mere revenues to the rail presents by far the biggest rate in- crease in the history of railroads.
 The new freight charges, which cover both class and commodity rates become effective June 25 and the pas senger increase will go into effect June 10.
 Issued under authority granted by the railroad act to President Wilson acting through the director general, the order wipes out all intrastate low CT rates effective on either freight or passenger traffic.
 Travellers in standard sleeping and parlor cars are required to pay 8 1-2 cents mile in addition to Pullman fares in tourists sleeping cars 8 IA cents. Pullman rates remain the same.
 Communication and other surburan rates or. railroads are incheased 10 per cent. Fares on electric interur- ban lines are not affected.
 Abolish Special Privileges
 Special excursion, mileage, conven- tion and tourist rates with few eX- captions, are discontinued, privileges such as stopping over and side trips are abolished and excess baggage charges are increased.
 Both freight and passenger rates on boat lines operated on the lakes, rivers or coastwise by railroads are to be raised approximately iwth the general increases.
 Export and import freight rates are ordered cancelled and the higher domestic rates will aply to and form ports.
 A number of flat increases in stead of percentage additions, are ordered for coal. coke, lumber, ore, stone, grain, cotton, livestock, meats sugar, bullion and other commodities.
 Existing differentials and rate re- lationships between various localit- ies are to be preserved so far as pos sible but many re-adjustments will have to be made later. All rates are subject to review by the interstate commerce commission.
 Director General McAdoo today telegraphed chairmen of state rail- road commissions notifying them of

U. s. ACTION LIMITING TRANS
CONTINENTAL TRAINS TO
HAVE LOCAL EFFECT.
DEFINITE INSTRUCTIONS
ARE NOT YET RECEIVED
Union Pacific to Run But One Trans
continental Train After June 2, and
Northwestern's Curtaiinnent VIII BE
Made to Correspond Owing to Con-
nections at Omaha.

| Owing to the plans of Director Cen
eral McAdoo, of the railroads, thru pas
senger service on the Chicago & North
western railway thru this city Avery
likely will he materially curtailed be-
ginning June 2.
Local Passenger and Ticket Agent
~. f. Tallett as yet has received no
definite advices concerning the changes,
but believes that it will be necessary
| for the Northwestern to reduce the
number of its trains to conform to a
curtailment of service on the Union
Pacific, with which the Northwestern
makes connections at Omaha for trans
continental business.
AS far as Mr.. Tallett has been able
to learn, unofficially. however, there
will be a consolidation of the North
Westerns Nos. /, Z, and II. the Over
land Limited, due here at a. m, the
Los Angeles Limited, 500 a m. and
the Oregon and Washington Special,
40 a. m.
The Union Pacific's Colorado Spe-
Gals, Nos. u and 10, are to be taken
off, it is said. but to correspond locally
with the time of these trains as they
now run, it is said THAT trains Nos. 10
and 20 on the Union Pacific, known as
the Pacific Limited. will use the North
western instead of the Milwaukee be-
tween Omaha and Chicago. These
trains will run between Chicago and
the coast, but will do more local bust
ness than heretofore. The addition of
these trains over the Northwestern will
ii is presumed, bring the trains to cor
respond now with the Denver Special
and Hawkeye Express. now due at 1:1O
D. M. and 6:25 p. M. respectively.
Union Pacific Plans.
The plans of the Union Pacific as
have been made known, unofficially,
however, are to run but one transcon-
tinental train after June 2. 1t will be
known as No. west bound, and No. 2
east bound, and will leave Omaha at
$3.50 a. m. west bound, and 900 p. m.
east bound.
The train will be a consolidation of
the Overland Limited Los Angeles
Limited and Oregon Washington Linn
tied trains. It will consist Of one mail
car, buffet car, six standard sleepers
and two diners. The observation car
will probably be done away with. The
train will run between Chicago and
Oakland, CAL, with connections at
Granger, Wyo.. for the northwest, and
at Ogden for Los Angeles.
! The trains to be abolished are the
Los Angeles Limited, Nos. Z and s. the
Oregon Washington Limited. Nos. II
and IS; the California mail, No. 8: the
Colorado Special, Nos. II and 10. Con-
80 9TH hrin0S tho
total train curtailment to nine. An
engine and train crew are saved on
each division for each train taken on.
| There will be no extra fare charged
on Nos. and 2. the new transcon-
| tinental train.
| Mail train No. 9, leaving Omaha at
11:15 o'clock a. M, will carry pas
senger coach to Cheyenne.
