court in violating the courts injunc.
tion against giving rebates. was filed
yesterday afternoon, Arguments In
the case will probably not be heard
until some Zine in the fall,
The complaint against the Santa
Fe was that II granted rebates TO the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. on
coal shipments after having been en-.
Joined from such practices along with
half dozen other roads. The institu.
tion OF the suit Is the result Of an In.
vestigation on the part Of the inter.
state commerce commission. In Its
answer the Santa Fe admits Il at one
time did give rebates. but that It has
not offended In that respect since the
Injunction was issued. Its arrange.
ment with the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, II says. was perfectly legi.
timate one.
