AMERICAN EXPRESS GETS
LARGE INCREASE IN RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Grants Half of Advance Re-
qucstcd by Company.
RAISES INCOME ss5,5oo, 900
Permission Given Petitioner to Make
New Tariffs Effective Upon One
Days Notice by Filing Blanket
Schedules in Washington.
IBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, August l3-Au-
thority to- increase express rates
l. IL per cent was granted the
American Railway Express Company
today by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The increase by unofficial estimates
will add S35.500,000 to the annual in
come of the company. The commits
sion's decision, however. does nos
take into consideration the recent
award of the railroad labor board OF
increased wages approximating $43.-
100000 to express company employees,
and it is expected application soon
will be made by the company for an
additional advance in rates to meet
the new wage scales.
Rates on milk and cream under the
commissions decision are further In
creased to correspond with the ad-
Vance of 20 per cent for the trans
portation of such commodities au-
thorized for the railroads except
where there are no competing rail-
reads between the affected points. In
the latter case an advance OF 1912
per cent is authorized.
In touching on the fact that the
>->P' SSo SohiplHy Hdu Dcen allOwed
only about half of the increase
asked. which was 25.16 per cent. the
commission expressed the opinion
that the full amount awarded should
be retained by the express company
itself. and that none of it should be
allowed to the railroad carriers. The
commission suggested that the pres
ent express company contracts with
the railroads under which 5O2 Der
cent OF It's gross earnings go to the
roads for the carrier services. should
be modified to accomplish this pur-
pose.
Permission was granted the COM
pany to make the new rates efrec-
tive upon one days notice by filing
blanket schedules with the commits
sion, but the company is required
TO reissue its tariffs within ninety
days of the effective date in the repu
lar manner.
Nothing in it's decisions, the COM
mission said. is to be taken as fore
casting the determination of the ap-
plications OF the Adams. American.

ton into the American Railway Ex-
press Company. or on the proposed

WASHINGTON, August ia pleb-
!scite TO determine the future of Rus
sian Poland is one of the peace terms
drawn up by the Bolshevists ccinci-
dent with the first proposal OF an
armistice by the Polish government.
The right of unrestricted propaganda
in this district during the year which
would intervene before the pleb!scite
also would be demanded.
These and the othe. terms of peace
which arc believed to have been
formulated for submission at the frs,
meeting between the Soviet and Po-
iish em!ssacies. were received here to-
day in official circles. While not re-
garded IS final because OF the events
favorable TO the Bolshevist cause
since thei. formulation. the terms arc
accepted in Washington as illustra-
tive Of the intention OF the invaders
10 impose peace conditions OF a dras-
tic nature.
The other terms as received here
include the right OF the Soviet gov
ernment to unrestricted transmission
OF all code messages across Poland
between Russia and Germany; the
turning over OF all salt and coal
mines in Poland for operation by the
Soviet government. and the right OF
unrestricted travel for all Soviet Ma
tionals across the Polish frontiers
without the Polish wise on passports.
One Obnoxious Provision.
The provision for a plebiscite in the
portion OF Poland formerly belonging
to Russia. together with the stipula-
tion that the Bolshevists be granted
permission to disseminate propa-
sonda without restriction in that ter
ritory for one year before the vote.

be especially obnoxious to the Poles.
The granting of such demands would,
in the opinion of officials here. GER
tain!y result in the loss TO the War
saw government of Russian Poland.
for all Polish national feeling in that
region, it is considered. would be
blotted out by the Bolshevist propa-
ganda.
officials were inclined to believe
that the peace terms to be submitted
at the Minsk negotiations. now in
progress. will be even more severe
than those tentatively prepared for
the Baranovitch conference. which
ended abruptly when the Polish arm
istice emissaries replied that they had
no authority to conclude peace. The
recent successes OF the Soviet forces

even more drastic terms. =

RALEIGH, y. c., August 13.-Rati-
fcation advocates temporarily held
the advantage in the North Carolina
fight over the Federal suffrage amend
mcnt as n result of developments to-
day. which included a special message
by Governor Beckett, urging ratifca-
tion, and a favorable report on a rat
ification resolution by q committee Of
the upper House of the Legislature.
Although the victory of suffrage
supporters in committee appeared
overwhelmingly-a vote OF to for
favorable report being recorded
the action merely marks the begin
ming OF an expected bitter contest.
The suffrage leaders were given new
hope by the Governors plea, but the
executives statement that he person
ally was against the Federal amend
ment served to bolster UP antagonists
OF the suffrage movement in the low
er house
Antis Claim Victory.
While leaders of the suffrage group
in the Senate wfre confident of ulti-
mate victory in that chamber. they
said frankly no such ratio of afflrma-
tee could be maintained on the final
roll call. Antisuffragists claimed de-
feat OF any ratification measure in
the lower house. from which sixty
three OF tho 120 members signed a
telegram to the Tennessee Legislature,
asking 1t TO kill the suffrage resolu-
luton.
Action on the resolution in the
Senate probably will come Tuesday.

may check the resolution without It

Situation BADLY Mixed.
From partisan political stand

mixed. The suffrage resolution was
introduced in the Senate by Senator

in the lower house the Republicans
