Two cases Of interest to the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. and to Colo
ardo people generally. have just been
decided by the United States Court OF
Appeals at St Louis. Some time ago
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
at Pueblo, filed a bill for injunction and
damages against the Southern Pacific
company in an effort to restrain the
railroad company from putting into
force freight on merchandise from
Pueblo to san Francisco and other Pa
cIfic coast points alleged to be extor-
ton, viz. SLIGO per 100 pounds from
Pueblo to San Francisco. The matter
was laid before thet Interstate COM
merce cimmission, and after a hearing
the commission ordered the Southern
Pacific TO give a rate of 40 cents per
100 pounds on steel rails and fasten-
ings, and 3Tl5 cents per 100 on bar iron,
cast iron, water pipe, billets, etc. The
commission declared that the rate from
Pueblo to San Francisco should not be
in excess of seventy-hve per cent of
that in effect bet.reen Chicago and San
Francisco. The Southern Pacific for a
time obeyed the order, but later raised
the rates to GO and 20 cents. Then the
iron company went into court with the
bill for a mandatory injunction. and in
addition asked for 100000 damages.
