PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 15. En
ragod because Jewish meat dealers
had raised tho price of Kosher meat
and then attempted to preveut the
operation of n cooperative meat mar
ket tlioy had startod as a means of
relief, 25 Jowish women In South
Portland today wrecked the Kosher
meat market of H. D. Knudelman,
knocked down Knudelman and Rab
bi G. Ilalporn, who slaughters for
him, and poured salt and kerosene
over the meats.
A riot call was turned in and a
score of pollcemon wero eent to the
scone. Tho disturbance was over,
however, by the tlmo tho bluecoats
arrived and Knudelman contented
hlmsolf by swearing out warrants
against seven of the women who par
ticipated In tho affray.
Recently a Gentile moat firm start
ed iu tho district and undersold the
Kosher mnrkct, until recently the
Jews banded together and bought
their rival out. Tlioy then promptly
raised the prico of meats 4 cents a
im u ml to mako up their losses and
tho Jowish women opened a co
operative moat store.
Tho womon alleged Knudelman
thou porsuadod the Union Meat com
pany not to sell to the cooperntlvo
store and when no meat wns deliv
ered today the women organized and
descended on Knudolmati. Ho was

EXCESSIVE RATES
ARE TO BE REDUCED
Decision Is Rendered in Case Filed
Against Espee by Medford
Traffic Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Feb. i.',. The in
terMntc commerce conuuiiori today
granted the Southern Pacific rnilroad
permission to continue to charge less
for the freight haul between San
Frnncinco and Portland than to in
tennedinte points. It further pro
vided that the rates to intermediate
points which now are excessive shall
he reduced.
This new ruling by the interstate
commerce commission tomes as the
direct result of n fight made hy the
Medford traffic bureau to have
freight rates lowered between San
Francisco and Medford. According
to the men who have directed the ef
forts to have the.e rates lowered to
an equitable basis the foregoing dis
patch from Washington menus that
the contentions of the bureau have
heen .sustained in n great degree nud
that Medford will enjoy lower rates
from San Francisco. Until the en
tire deci.xion and order Is received,
however, the amount of the reduction
is unknown.
The decision today covers n case
affecting the long and short haul

case against certain excessive rates
will probably be decided late today or
