Railroad firms have asked the In terstate Commerce Commission for authority to increase freight rates an additional 15 per cent, with proposed hold-downs to maximum increases of 19 cents per cwt. on fresh fruits and vegetables and to 12 cents per cwt. on lumber and forest products and sugar. This proposed increase is in ad dition to the five to seven per cent general freight rate increases granted the railroads by the ICC on their request earlier this year. At a conference held in Portland on October 16 at the request of Oregon Public Utilities Commis sioner Charles H. Heltzel, repre sentatives of grain producers and handlers said they would oppose the proposed 15 per cent increase.
