In Restraint of Competition.
Reviewing the above statement of
facts. Mr. Prouty. for the commission,
says;
1T needs but the statement of the
facts to show that no other individual
could do business in competition with
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in
this field unless he enjoyed the same ad-
vantage insthe way of a freight rate.
1T has been intimated in some quar-
tiers that the Santa Fe in the payment
OF these rebates, squandered its reve-
nues in the interest of the fuel COM
pany. That phase of the subject was
not under investigation, but nothing APP
pears in this record to justify that sug
gestion-
1.-THE Santa Fe and the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, as already suggest
ed, We're virtually partners in this coal
business. As partners. they probably
obtained the best price possible for coal
at the various points of delivery and
apparently the division of the price OBJ
tanned was not unduly in favor of the
1uel company.
The testimony also tended to show
that while the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company was operating the mines of
the American Fuel Company at Gallup
cial rate on its supplies.
w lille this testimony was not at all
conclusive. 1t was of a character to re-
quiTe explanation from persons having
absolute knowledge in the premises No
witness having knowledge was produced,
and we have a strong impression that
such special rates were enjoyed by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
Attorney General Must Prosecute.
The opinion of the commission and the
testimony in the case have been sent to
the Attorney General.
The nature of this testimony would
seem TO indicate that Attorney General
Moody has no other choice but to prose-
cute the two offending companies under
the Elkins anti-rebate law.
The story of the investigation of the
Santa Fe rebates is Gnfolded III the tes-
timony heard by the commission. The
Caledonia Coal Company complained to
the commission that the Santa Fe Rail-
road had been giving large rebates by
various devices to the COLORADO Fuel
and Iron Company and also on mine
supplies. and that it had been enforcing
much higher rate on coal shipped to
DeIl.ing and points beyond by the Gale
donia Coal Company.
It was alleged that it FAD been the
practice, acting in combination with the
Colorado company, to manipulate rates
and transportation so that the coal trade
from points in Colorado. in New Mexico
to Ell Paso, points in southern New
Mexico, Arizona and the Republic of
Mexico should be absolutely controlled
by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Attorneys for the commission and for
the Caledonia Coal Company proved the
existence of some sort of an understand
ing between the two companies and pro-
dueed data from the fies of the Santa
Fe Company which compelled W. b.
Biddle the general freight agent OF the
company, to admit that the company
bad been giving a rebate TO the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company.
