Opposition to Increased Rates.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Opposi-

baggage and pullman rates, asked by
railroads, was developing today.
The railroads, in petition filed
with the interstate commerce COM
yesterday, said they needed
the higher rates to meet the $600,00O,-
900 wage award granted workers.
Opponents of the proposed raises will
try to show that they are unneces-
sary and that increased freight rates
asked several weeks ago are suffi-
cient.

charges that the roads are now rum
ming up big bill of expense to show
the necessity for increased revenue.
The proposed twenty per cent in
crease on passenger and pullman
fares was expected to be attacked by
the United Commercial Travellers.
Farmer organizations will inquire
into the necessity of raise of APP.
proximately forty per cent for carry
ing milk. This would increase the
price of milk without corresponding
advantage to milk producers. At the
National Grange here 1t was said
the raise would not be opposed if
that organization found it necessary
to the roads.
Shippers will ask hearings on the
proposed freight Increases, although
it was not certain they will oppose
them.
1t was estimated that the total Of
increased freight rates now being
sought by the railroads would, il
granted, take from the pocket Of the
consumer between six and ten million
dollars a day.
