IN CREASE ON SHORT HAUlfS. Approved by Mr.. McAdoo?Plan to Raise $24,000,000 to Meet \\ c Advance and Pay Railroads. Washington, Oct. 26.?:New express rates involving average increases of about 10 per- cent, applied mainly on short hauls, will be initiated shortly by the . American Railway Express Company, with the approval of Direc tor General McAdoo, to raise $24, 000,000 added revenue, half of which will go. to the express company to meet contemplated wage advances, and the other half to the railroads for transporting express matter. The interstate commerce commis sion today approved the methods of applying higher^- rates, proposed by the express company, but suggested some plan shGuld be worked out be tween the company and the railroad administration to give all the added revenue to the company, instead of dividing it with the railroads accord ing to terms of the existing contract. Director General McAdoo tonight announced, however, that the sug gestion would notf be followed on the ground that the railroads are entitl ed to a proportionate share of any new revenue on account of the higher cost of hauling express shipments. The railroads now receive 50 1-2 cents on every dollar received by the ex press company for transportation. Consequently the express company will not proceed-immediately to raise charges, but these rates will he sub ject to revenue by the interstate com merce commission on complaint of shippers. ? The new. rates, would he a minimum of 17 cents a hundred pounds higher oh first-class shipments and T2 cents On second-class in so-called first zones or^ short hauls, generally less than 100 miles. For longer hauls, first and second class sates would be advanced 12 and 8 cents a hundred pounds, re spectively, as maximum. In addition 10 cents a hundred pounds, regard less of distance, wouid be added to commodity rates. The express ocmpany has estimat ed that of the- $23,673,000 which: the proposed rates should produce, $17, 0^7,000 or more than two-thirds would come from transportation in the first zone. The entice $11,780,000 which the express company would receive from the increased, revenue is to go to pay higher wages to employes who did not share in the previous wage advances.

SABOTAGE IN RUSSIA. ? A Powerful Weapon Which Has Overthrown Governments. Moscow, July 26 (Correspondence of* The Associated Press)?Sabotage is the favorite w \pon of the Russian. ? He uses it more effectively than the rifle and understands it better. It was sabotage which overthrew Emperor Nicholas. The Kerensky provisional government succumbed to sabotage. In neither case was there an extensive military character to the movement which gave Russia a new government. And now the weapon which the Bolsheviki and their supporters of the extreme left used on previous govern ments has been turned against them. In the food situation, on the railways, in various government bureaus, in public service organizations of alb sorts, among bankers, business and professional men, and even among peasants the government encounters hindrance and obstruction of a type which cannot be punished and stamped out. Commissar Tsurupa, who is in I charge of the national food supply, recently stated in a speech that 1,500 persons in his department alone had retained positions for months and pre tended to work, when they were in reality doing all they could to hinder the food administration. Trotsky, Lenine and other Bolshe vik speakers and agitators have made the most of the sabotage directed against them by loudly proclaiming in ail sections of Russia that the disor der they inherited from the Kerensky regime and the opposition directed against them by enemies within the government; as well as outside, has prevented the soviet republic from bettering'the food situation and get ting commerce and industry back into normal channels. This view was accepted by the. la boring masses very generally for some time, but after eight months of the Bolshevik republic it is apparent "that the laboring men are no longer wil ling to "accept abuse of various anti Bolshevik factions as a complete ex cuse for the deplorable lack of food. The loss of the Ukraine grain sup ply and the. cutting off of the Siber ian wheat stores by the Czecho-Slo vaks stand forth so plainly that the dullest workman reads the hand writing on the wall. Without grain fields he understands there cannot be ?,'rain. And the promises of 4 bread through' grain crusades made by arra ?d forces do not impress him when ht realiz^s that the portion of Russia re maining within the jurisdiction of tie soviet: republic . does not' contain en?ugK grain to feed the republic's population, even if every bushel were tinder government control and care fully distributed.
