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

LABOR NEWDEALER
PORTLAND. Feb. 8 (AP
Portland's Labor Newdealer,
weekly newspaper which the
CIO state Industrial union coun
cil repudiated last week on a
charge of communism, replied
Friday it "does not espouse conv
munism. The statement in part
aid:
'The newspaper is not com
munistic and does not espouse
communism, nor is it published
or edited by soviet sympathiz
ers. It editor, Lee Coe, is a reg
istered democrat, and is not a
communist. He is responsible to
an editorial board composed sole
ly ox CIO members elected denv
ocratically by the Labor New-
dealer Publishing association.
"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."
