The SCHEDL PASSENGER Increased-Charges For Pullman ES FOR INCREASED FARES AL, 20 Travel and New Rates on Ex- ‘cess Baggage and Milk Will Become Effective on the Same Date—Freight Rates Are to Becoms Operative August 25— Railrcad Tariff Experts Are at Work Upon Schedules to Be Submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission. ‘Washington, Aug. 2.—(By the A. P-)l —The new passenger fares probably Will become effective August 20 and the advanced freight rates August 25, according to a programme outlined - to- night by Alfred P. Thom, general coun- sel for the Association of Hailroad exec- utives. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of pasenger fares, the increased charges for Pullman travel and the new rates on excess baggage and milk will be put in force. Railroad .rate experts have begun the Dpreparation of blanket rate schedules in- creasing the transportation on a per- centage basis. Until this” work is done, local officials will compute the new rates and charges for their respective territories on the basis of the existing rates plus the percentage increase au- thorized by the commission. ; Ly putting the increased rates into ef- fect prior to September 1, the Grain on the {reasury under the guarantee pro- visions of the transportation act likely will be ended before the expiration of the government's guarantee of earnings to the roads. Officials estimated today that by September 1 the guarantee pro-| visions would have cost the government approximately $650,000,000 for the six months since the passage of the present railroad law. The government has been obliged to continue the $75,000,000 monthly rental payment which was in effect during fed- eral control as well as to meet deficits, not covered by the rental amount, sus- tained by the individual carriers. In- cluded in. the charges which will fall on the treasury in these deficits is that portion of the §$600,000 000 wage award covering labor costs from May 1 to September 1, when the guarantee ex- pires. This was officially estimated at $206,000,000. Thus the American people will pay one-third of the ,increased wages for railroad employes this year in taxes. ith the amount guaranteed the ear- riers this vear and the claims of the lines for compensation under their con- tracts with the railroad administration, the roads will have cost the govern- ment approximately a billion and a half dollars since the president took over the properties, December 23, 1917. Operation_of the roads after Septems ber 1 under the mew rates will yield, &g- cording o accountants and tariff ex- perts of the carriers, an annual return of about:$1,580,000,000. The need for increases in intrastate rates was set forth in a report forward- ed today to various state railway and public_utility commissions by the three state commissioners who sat with the interstate commerce commission during its hearings and* cousideration of _the rate case. WILL INCREASE COST OF s COAL 75 CENTS TO $1.35 PEE TON ‘Washington, Aug. 2.—Railroad rate increases authoried by the interstate comerce commission “should have no ap- preciable effect on the prices of the vast maority of things which the ‘or- dinary consumer purchases,” according to an analysis of the possible effect of the advanced rates made public tomight by W. Jett Lauck, economist for the railroad labor organizations. A the same time Mr. Lauck asserted that ‘there would have been nd occasion for €0 large an advance” if the roads had been tter managed, made free ' of “water” in capitalization, and were' “not themselves the victims of profiteers- to the extent of $500,000 a year,” in puf- chase of supplies and equivments. Coal, Mr. Lauck said was one eom- modity the price of which would be * rectly and appreciably -increased” to. the consumer by the rate advance, the amount being from 75 cents to $1.35 per ton.
