Flagg Protests Prop osed Rail Protest against the railroads lat est request for a nationwide in crease in freight rates was filed with the Interstate commerce com mission Wednesday by public utilities Commissioner George H. Flagg and the Pacific Northwest Grain and Grain Products asso ciation. ' - The railroads had -asked for IS per cent - increase. Approxi mately rwornonths ago the rail' roads received a- 9 per cent in crease in the east and 6 per cent in the west. They now arc asking for the rest of the IS per cent boost they sought in the original - applications !, . . :- "The railroads' In : almost f con tinually requesting higher 'end still higher rates have done so without regard to the ultimate ef fects of such higher freight rates - on agricultural and other indus tries, a brief prepared by Flagg -exiice read.. . . "Because of "the several In creases western agricultural and other industries are increasingly unable to ship their products in competition with products closer, to the eastern consuming mar kets." .'- . Flagg said the railroads are get ting their rates so high they are losing . business to competing forms of transportation, including the express agencies. It also was contended that the railroad's earnings do not justify a rate in crease at this time.

Reports on the varied fields in speeches and from "rubbing elbows' were given Wednesday by the sev en representatives of Marion coun ty health department and one me dical-care group delegate: : Several of the group attended sessions concerned with dental health as it related to such fields as schools, nutrition. They stressed the feeling that Injury to teeth is due more to lack of care rather than to the things eaten. They also found a strong urging for fluorination of water supplies to prevent tooth decayT The con vention showed that 82 "communi ties are adding fluorine to their water, 94 more have approved it and 343 are seriously . considering it Studies of the results have de monstrated reduction' of tooth de cay by as much as 73 per cent among children, a cost of from 5 to 11 cents per persons , per. year with the cost of a single dental fill ing equal to the cost, of . fluoride ror sr years.,, u. i ; s Abac at Plagues i i V.

They don't understand that the lowest-priced Cadillac actually costs less than certain models produced by numerous other manufacturers. ; They only know that Cadillac is the world's most renowned motor car and they assume, from this, that it must also be exclusively priced. ; . . Too, some people get discouraged because they can't walk in and order a Cadillac and get immediate delivery as they can with so many other makes of cars. ' This, too, is largely due to t failure to get all the facts and think them through to the inevitable conclusion.

One complaint was with drawn -and discriminatory nrae- tices were corrected in two. . The bureau of labor .dropped two cases because Kimsey ruled It had no Jurisdiction under the law. One of these Involved a cancelled lease between an oil company and a young Negro service station opera tor. -'-yj .-:-v - Kimsey emphasized the import ance of the IS cases in which no discrimination was found by his deputies. - ' Scene Just sacpleloa "These cases of no discrimina tion are as important in the field ox community relations as an ac tual solution of a real discrimina tion problem," Kimsey said. We knew when we took over otjmfrij, tration of the act that some charges mea witn us would be based on suspicion - of discrimination and that It would be our job to prove tne suspicions beyond doubt.' Kimsey said his office has spent as much time and energy on these cases as on any and a definite service has been given the com munity in smoothing out the dif ferences between worker and em ployer arising out of suspicion. HA suspicion of discrimination can wreak as much havoc in a community as a proved fact," Kim sey continued. Kimsey said the time spent in vestigating and conciliating each complaint averaged 62 days., Mostly by Negroes More than 95 per cent of the complaints were filed by Portland Negroes. Two complaints charged religious discrimination. One was not proved.1 Of the 12 cases now pending nine are against a Portland union of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America which was found guilty at a public hearing last August of barring Negroes from membership. Officers el the Portland union, Kimsey. said, have" since resigned in protest of the labor bureau com missioner's order for the union, to 11 UnipossfblQ to Relieve I : J- mmmm"m" ! "...
