ASK PERMISSION TO INCREASE EXPRESS RATES

Permission to increase the express rates to absorb the wage award for the railroad labor board at Chicago, estimated at $43,800,095, was asked from the interstate commerce commission this week by the American Railway Express company. The express company also asked authority to increase 20 per cent its rates on milk and cream to meet the railroads on the same commodity.
