senger fares probably will become ef
fective August 20, and advanced
freight rates August-25, according to
a program outlined tonight by A. P.
Thorn, general counsel for the Asso
ciation of -Railway executives. --:
Simultaneously, increases in Pull
man, excess baggage and milk charg
es also will go in force.
. Railroad rate experts ha v. begun
preparing blanket rate schedules in
creasing transportation costs on a
per centage basis. These will he
presented to the 4nterstate eowmerC-
commission five days before the pro--uosed
effective dates. These ' rates
will be supplemented by printed tar
iff containing rates for aU territor-
'ies and on all commodities 4s soon as
tb many details can be worked out.
I'ntil this is dope, local rail offieiaU
"will compute tha new rates and
charges for their territories by add
ing 20 per cent to existing rates.
While this 'method would be un

suggestion of the commission that
the higher charges be put in force
as early as practicable.'1 A. ,
Dy putting the increased, rates into

tion of the $600, 000, 00ft wage award
..from May 1 to September I, when

.This was officially estimated at
$206,000,000. Thus the peopla will
' pay one-third of the increased wages
for railroad employes in taxes.
Ij With the amount guaranteed the
carriers this year and the claims of
