Express Rates Hike Adds 35500 to AR Express Income
The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized the American Railway Express Company to raise express rates by 12 percent. The unofficial estimate shows an annual income increase of 35500 dollars. The decision ignores a recent wage award of about 43000000 dollars to employees, with possible future rate adjustments to reflect higher wages and a 20 percent milk and cream transportation surcharge where competition exists.
