Ado Haises Hates Ado Haises Hates Passenger Fares to Be Three Cents a Mile

Rail freight and passenger fares boosted by 25 percent
Washington May 27 Director General McAdoo ordered a 25 percent rise in railroad freight rates and a 3 cent per mile passenger fare increase. The move, issued under the railroad act, aims to boost railroad revenue by an estimated 400 to 200 million dollars next year. Rate changes cover most freight and passenger traffic with limited exceptions. Special excursions and certain privileges are discontinued and some surcharges rise. Rates on boats and interurbans are adjusted accordingly and the Commerce Commission may review. Payrolls increase noted as part of broader public-interest measures.
