POSTPONE EDATE
 OF CHANGES IN
 RAILWAY RATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. - New freight rates and passenger fares will be made effective on August 26 instead of August 20 for passenger fares and August 25 for freight tar ifs, railroad officials announced to- night.
 At the same time it was announced that the American railroads would ask the Canadian railroad companies for permission to make the new rates effective on transportation from the United States to Canada.
 Decision to postpone the putting into effect of the advance in the charges authorized last Saturday by the Interstate Commerce Commission from the dates announced yesterday, came after tariff experts had inform ed A. P. Thom, general counsel for the Association of Railway Execu- tives, that it would be impossible to have the schedules ready before Aug ust 21 Under orders of the Inter- state Commerce, Commission the new schedules must be filed five days before becoming effective. Ap- plication of the new schedules to transportation to Canada, officials said, would mean that shippers will pay freight charges under the new tariffs for their classification terri tories unless the shipment passes through more than one group before crossing the line, in which case the inter-territorial rate, to be advanced 33 1-3 per cent, would apply.
 Canadian railroads will apply to the commission for authority to make the new charges effective on trans portation from the dominion into the limited States
