FREIGHT INCREASE BOOSTS MILK RATE
Producers Taxed One-Fiith Cent
 Jump Prices One,Hali Cent

Boston, Jan. II R,-schodules calling for an increase of 20 per cent in it's milk and cream trans porta,ion rates arc being prepared by the Boston and Maine railroad, 1t was announced today, The new rates will be iiled with the inter- state commerce. commission within few days, effective 30 days there after. An operating loss of more than $700,000 a year on It's milk traffic is responsible for the advance, the road states.
 Investigation has brought ont that the advance will amount 10 less than 1-5 of cent quart in . the retail price of milk. the e,ato- ment says, Milk producers and distributors have been informed of tho proposed new rates and have announced that an increase of F n cent q quart probably will have to be passed on to the consumer
 "Tho railroad submits that 1t can accept no responsibility for such an advance" the statement says, which ig 2jO per cent of the in- crease which tho railroad finds 1t necessary 10 ask"
 The railroads statement says that investigation has shown the expense Of handling milk and cream to be 3i per cent greater than the rail- roads revenues and that the h. crease will cover little moro than half of the operating loss. Further justification of the advance is seen ! in the fact that the present rates for shipment to the Boston market are 121s per cent lower than the average for the New York and Philadelphia markets, established by the interstate commerce com mission.
