EXPRESS RATES
TO Be INCREASED
UNDER new ORDER

Washington, Aug. 14.-Authority
to increase express rates 12h per
cent. was granted the Americas Rail
way Express Company yesterday BY
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
The increase, by unofficial esti-
mates, will add $35,5O0,O0O to the an
nual income of the company. The
commission decision, however, does
not take into consideration the re-
cent award Of the railroad labor
board of increased wages approxi-
mating $43,O00,O00 to express COM
pany employees, and it is expected ap-
p!ication soon will be made by the
company for an additional advance in
rates to meet the wage scales.
Rates on milk and cream, under
he commission decision, are fur
ther increased to correspond with the
advance of 20 per cent. for the trans
portation of such commodities aur
thorized the railroads, except where
there are no competing railroads be-
tween the affected points. In the lat
ter case an advance of 12h per cent
was authorized.
In touching ON the fact that tht
express company had been allowed
orly about half of the increase asked
which was 25.16 per cent, the com
mission expressed the opinion thai
the full amount awarded should b.
retained by the express company 1t
self and that none of 1t should b.
allowed to the railroad carriers.
