Assurances From Representa
tive in Washington.
Salem, Or., June 10. The 25 per cent
freight rate increase order, issued some
time ago by Director General McAdoo or
the government railroad administration,
will be materially modified for the pro
tection of Pacific coast Industries before
it goes Into effect the last of this month,
according to the Interpretation put by the
Oregon public service commission upon a
telegriam received today from Max The-
len, representative at 'Washington, D. C,
of the California commission, who also
baa been delegated to represent the Ore
gon commission In this connection. ..
Thelen's telegram is in reply to. a
message sent a few days ago by the Ore
gon commission In which the suggestion
was inade that the government and state
commissions - cooperate in . determining
the proportionate Increase in freight
rates for the Northwest. His, message
says:
"Tour suggestions much appreciated.
Plan for cooperation between govern
ment and state commissions today- ap
proved by Prouty. who will submit , to

Order 28, mentioned in the telegram
