PARCEL POST RATE

1t is proposed to increase the rates
OH parcel post cents on packages
weighing over eight ounces and UP
to four pounds in all zones. according
to the terms of Postmaster General
News substitute bill reclassifying
the salaries of postmasters and en-
ployes of the pstal servc.
This was made public today by the
Postma aster General, in giving out at
a conference with newspaper men the
complete recommendations of the
Post Office Department for bill as
an alternate for the Kelly-E Edge bill,
The latter would entail increases of
$500 900, whereas the alternate
would cali for. only s43,000,000, of
which about S3e,U00.000 would be
raised by increased parcel post rates.
The alternate bill calls also for an
increase Of cents on all packages
over five pounds and up to and in
Guiding seventy pounds in all zones
up to and including the third zone.
Mr.. New made il clear that he has
been on record at all times in favor
of increased salaries for the postal
workers, and that, in his opinion, the
money to pay for the increases, may
come from legitimate increases on
second, third and fourth. or parcel
post matter in the main. 1t would
be manifest absurdity' to raise
the rates at this time on hrSt-class

w. R. & E. TO DECIDE
PAY INCREASE TODAY
Directors to Take Up Question of
Adopting Scale Approved by
Capital Traction.

The board of directors of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company probably will decide at
meeting this afternoon whether the
motor1nen and conductors of that
system will receive the pay increase
of cents an hour granted trainmen
of the Capital fraction Company
yesterday.
If the directors conclude to adopt
the now Capital Traction scale it
will have a more far-reaching effect
on the financial condition of the w.
r. & f. than on the Capital Trac-
tion because of the lower earning
power of the former
William F. Ham. president of the
W. r & T., declined to discuss
today the pending meeting of the
directors or what action they may
take. Up to this time, however. the
w. F. & e. has maintained the same
wage scale.
Il do not see how this company can
go on indefinitely increasing ex-
penses with falling revenues as the
result of decreased traffic" said Mr..
Ham. He would not go beyond this
statement
There is a possibility. however,
that If the management of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
grants the higher wage it NAV en-
deavor to offset the resulting loss by
seeking a modification of the present
standards of service before consider
ing change in the rate Of fare
Claim Standards High.
Railway officials have stated at
past hearing before the Utilities
Commission that they regard the
standards of service required here
as among the most stringent in the
country. They are said to feel that
this is especially true in the non-rush
periods of the day, when service is
reauired on basis of 100 seats per
80 passengers at the ma ximum load
ing point on line.
Persons in touch with the situation to-
day suggested that the necessity for
economy that would follow a wage in
crease by the Washington Railway and
Electric might be brought about through
lessening of these car service rules.
1t was estimated today that the two
cent-per-hour increase would cost the
Washington Railway and Electric be-
tween $65,000 and $4,000 a year more
in operating expenses.
At present the company. according to
officials, is earning only 4.24 per cent
return on its physical valuation. The
addition of $4,000 to the expense of
wages would, 1t is estimated. bring the
company's return down to fraction un-
der per cent on valuation.
Officers of the company had hoped
that the falling off in passengers that
has been going on gradually for several
years since the war would stop and that
conditions would stabilize
Figures obtained today. however. show
that during the first three months of
1924 the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric showed a decrease of 492,240 in
passengers carried
