Washington, May 27.-To meet
wage increases just announced and
higher costs of coal and other sup
plies this year, Director General
McAdoo today ordered railroad
freight rates III the United States
raised 25 per cert aud passenger
fares increased 10 three cents a
mile from the present basis of
about o. cents. II is estimated
that the program will bring be
tween S8O00O0,O00 and 100000,
900 more revenues TO the railroads
within the next year. II repre-.
sents 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 20 and
the passenger increase will go into
effect June 10.
Issued under authority granted
by the railroad act TO President
Wilson, acting through the direc-
tor general, the order wipes out all
intra.state lower rates effective OF
either freight or passenger traffic.
