In an in", terview today, the public service com mission expressed, satisfaction over the tentative report of the federal ex aminer relative to the inter-state wool rates case. While tho final order of tho com mission has not been entered, a pro liininiy analysis reveals that the Ore gon commission's contentions have been upheld on nil Important fectures. This, members of the commission said is especially true in rcspoot to reduc tions recommended for. westbound shipments of wool from Oregon ship ping points through Oregon ports. Upon this point the commission pre pared and introduced extensive ex hibits and the oxanltner's finding of 55 per cent of the existing first clnss rate as the basis for tho reduction for westbound shipments supports tho contention for lower rates of tho Ore gon interests.
