BOAT RATES PUT UP

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-Increased
transportation charges on practically
on all railroad and steamship lines OF
the country will become effective at
midnight tonight.
Nearly every railroad has filed
commerce commission making effec-
tive the general increase of approx
mately 33 1-3 per cent in freight rates
of 20 per cent on passenger fares and
excess baggage and milk charges and
Of so per cent in charges for pullman

of Mexico will increase their all-water
rates from 20 per cent to 40 per cent
on freight and from 20 per cent to
33 1-3 per cent on passenger traffic as
a result of a decision last night by
the shipping board.
One day notice is required to make
the new water rates effective but a
number Of lines filed schedule carry
ing the authorized increase in time to
put them into effect.
Heavy on State Rates
Hearing on petitions of carriers for
higher rates on interstate traffic
where state commissions have refused
to approve the increases sought, have
been authorized by the interstate COM
merce commission, which under the
transportation act. has jurisdiction
over intrastate rates.
The first hearing Of this kind will
begin Sept. 8 in Chicago when the re-
quest Of Illinois railroads for intra-
state increases equivalent to the inter
state advances will be taken up. The
Illinois state commission refused the
increases sought by the roads.

! cent boost in fares was to go into eff
feet at midnight.
Tickets purchased at old value will
be of no value after Wednesday night

that purchase tickets Wednesday

| day or later will be carried to the
destination. But once there, the 90

are exhausted. Commuters tickets
purchased after Aug. "a, however, will
