Oregon rail commission cuts close-commodity rates
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company faces a rate cut ordered by the state railroad commission in a Portland chamber of commerce case. The first class fares east of The Dalles are reduced by one sixth of the gap between 25 cents to The Dalles and the existing rate, with examples like Umatilla dropping to 75 cents from 85. The plaintif f may reopen the proceeding, and General Counsel W. W. Cotton declined comment until a full decision copy is received.
