Roy f. Kelley Of Portland, and the

Of client who was claimant under
tn compensation act, there have been
persistent efforts on the part of kee-
lev and others to discredit the work
of the commission by circulating seri-
Gus charges with regard to its opera
tions. Consequently Commissioner W.
A. Marshall has sent to she governor
a request that a thorough investiga-
tion Of the charges be made. In his
letter To the governor he says in part;
al know, and It has been proven by
the contract in which Keeley secured
the agreement Of widow, a benefi-
ciary under the compensation law, that
she would give to Kelley as her at
torney 40 per cent Of what award she
might receive for the death Of her
husband, that the motives of Mr.. Kee-
ley are purely selfish and result from
a desire to be revenged upon the com
mission.
al nevertheless recognize the fact
that consistent campaign is being
carried on to injure the work of the
commission. This has created distrust
in the minds of other citizens to whom
the compensation law applies. and be.
cause Of this l believe that the issue
should be met by a thorough going in
shgation in such manner as you may
approve.
"If an investigation be held, ] roit.

announced that he would ask com
