February 8, 1041 PAGE TWO THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE. F CC ORDERS COAST PHONE RATE SLASH W A tTTWrtVON. Fh. B (AP ,' .The Federal Communications commission ordered the Pacific TalesraDh com pany and Its aubsldlariei today to readjust ine lu-caueu in terstate Pacific icale of tele phone ratei by March IS to con form with other Interstate rates for like service and equal dis tances. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., and its subsldtar . ies, the commission said had failed to show why subscribers of the Pacific system "should be compelled to pay from 9 to 40 per cent more for 'interstate Pa cific calls than for "other in- terstate' calls." . "These 'interstate Pacific' rates are unreasonably high, and furthermore produce undue and unreasonable discrimination and prejudice throughout the Pa- ' elfic system'! territory." the commission said. "The only ' proper method of correcting the situation is to reduce the 'in terstate Pacific' scale to the level of the 'other Interstate' scale of rates." The proceeding grew out of complaint by the department of public service of the state of Washington filed In June. 1939. The commission defined "Pa cific territory" as meaning the territory served by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., and its subsidiaries directly ' thrnnsh hlr own or leased fa cilities and including ine siaiei ' of Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia, Nevada, and that part of Idaho generally north of the 1 Salmon river.

It editor, Lee Coe, is a reg istered democrat, and is not a communist.

"The Labor Newdealer, like the CIO itself, is a purely Ameri can Institution, dedicated to the American principle of improving the living conditions of working men and women and upholding the constitution and the bill of rights. "The red-baiting charges lev eled at the (CIO council) conven tion against the paper and the CIO have been leveled against the CIO before and probably wm be again. We resent them. Such charges are intended only to smear and disrupt our CIO unions and confuse the real is sues facing the American peo ple." LOCAL MEN ATTEND HEARING ON BILLS W. Yeoman and D. C.
