The increase of 20 per cent. in tel egraph rates," says the statement, ''should be considered in comparison with the 100 per cent. increase in other prices. and it Is less than that found necessary to add to the railroad freight rates and is no greater than has been made generally in other public utility rates in order to obviate financial coHa pse."
 Discussing a comparison of the sustaining operations of the Pos tai Company with the smaller propor- donate earnings of the Western Union, the statement declares that during the six months from August, 1918, to January, 1919, the Postal carried only about one-sixth of the business of the country, limited to profitable fields while the Western Union carried five-sixths of the busi- ness, much of which extended into fields less profitable, but which gave a. service necessary to maintain the requirements of the public. During the same period the Postal carried only about one-twe1fth of the govern ment business, carried at approxi- mately 40 per cent. of the commercial rate and claimed by both companies to be g. loss of 50 per cent of the operating costs. In this connection the board says 1t is informed that tn- structions were issued by officials of the Postal directing their subordi- mates to avoid government business whenever it could be done.
 After citing figures to show the enormous cost in wages and material ocCasioned by the increased scope of

MaChinists Would Have Ice
 Plant Money Used For Ice

Local No. 30, International AssoCia- ton of Machinists, voted to appoint a committee of three to draw and pre- sent to the next meeting of the Com mon Council a, petition that the money appropriated for the Municipal Ice Plant be used to purchase ice to be sold to the people of the city at cost, and that after the season the city would still have the money to con struct the ice plant.
 Nothing to say about the ice sit uation," was the reply made by Mayor Clifford B. Wilson to a representative of The TiTnes-F'armer in response to a question today.
 The mayor was busy affixing his signature to the testimonials to be presented to all Bridgeport men reg istered with the Welcome Home com mittee, and either did not care to or would not, vouchafe any information on the ice question.
 Mayor Wilson said that he was planning to go to Boston tonight and stay there until the 1o2nd Ambulance train reached shore. This IS the only Bridgeport unit of the Twenty Sixth Division, and the mayor will be on one Of the destroyers that will steam out to meet the boys on the transport. The mayor said he could obtain no definite information in th.S city so that he thought it best to go to Boston, and wire Bridgeport as soon as he had ascertained exactly what time the local soldiers would be in.
 4 large contingent of citizens are expected to leave for Boston, imme- diately on the receipt of a wire from Boston. From present indications it appears that the mayor will make the trip to the Hub alone.

General March said, T don't recall another instance where Amer ican soldiers did not want to go into a fight. They always have said lead us to it "
 General March did not indicate what the latest reports showed as to the present state of discipline among the American force.
 A report from Murmansk dated March 2S said the Onda bridge on the railroad south of Murmansk had been rebuilt, restoring conmunica- ton with the southern-most post of the Allies.
 While the actual situation of the small commands of the expedition in North Russia is not known, General March said the re-opening of com munication to the South over the Onda bridge solved any military ques- ton, since it afforded a direct line for supply and endorsements. Com munication between Murmansk and Archange1 is being kept open with the assistance of ice breakers.

No Vital Change Made in Covenant Except on

 The covenant as the commission left 1t did not include any section granting Japan's request for the racial equality. and neither was a section introduced covering the re- quest of France for an international military general staff. Both Japan and France announced that they re- served the right to bring up the amendments they desired before 8 Qlenary session of the conference. The French delegation on the League of Nations commission voted for the adoption of the text of the covenant when the commission en- dorsed it last night, but made reser- vations as to two points, first, the organization and effective control of the manufacture of war material, and (Continued on Page Two.)
