Medford Rate Case
to be Considered

slon will be represented at a confer
ence which may be held In Kansas
City early in May for consideration
of several cases affecting Interstate
commerce, it was stated in Salom
Thursday. Clyde B. Aitchlsou, chair
man of the interstate commission
has not fully decided to call the con
ference. It was said. He has written
to the Oregon commission that vari
ous cases are pending, which have
arisen out of the action of the Cali

transtate class rates and apparently
affoctlna- Interstate commerce. He
suggested that the Oregon and Cali

Transportation company against the
Southern Pacific company, relative
