Since the government guarantee expires on September 1, the carriérs are expected to bend every effort to put the ad- vances into effect by that date. Increases granted by the commis- sion are designed to offset the $600,- 000,000 wage advance awarded by the railroad lahor board and to pro- vide the 6 per cent net income on the aggregate value o. r railroad prop- erties, as permitted g portation act.

The 20 per cent Increase in pas- senger fares, excess baggage charges and milk transportation rates and the — 50 per cent surcharge on Pullmag fares authorized by the commission will be general thruout the country. Freight rate increases will vary ac- cording to territory, with 40 per cent in the'East; 25 per cent in the South; 35 per cent in the West—that is from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains—and 25 per cent in Moun- tain-Pacific territory—from east of . the Rockies to the Pacific coast, not including Alaska. The commission, in its 36 page de- cisfon, made no attempt to compute the amount of increased revenue the carriers would receive by reason of rate advances.
