Another Advance Granted

An additional increase of 1917 per
cent in class and commodity rates
has been granted the American
Railway Express Company by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in a decision announced yesterday.
1t is to offset wage Increases csti-
mated at s44,25s.sOS a year.
The express company made re
quest for a Is per cent increase,
but the commission did not find 1t
justified. This makes a total in
crease in rates of 26 per cent, al
lowed to meet wage increases this
year. Rates on milk and cream
are not included in this increase
but the express company has the
privilege of equalizing such rates
with competitive rates applied BY
railroads.
The wage increase to certain
classes of employees was awarded by

Following the last formal ad-

DR. Rosewster said that the pres
