railway as a part of a common
system, entirely under control of
the A. T.. & s. F. Ry, as to all
matters pertaining to its traffic, rates
charges n its operation, and in all
other particulars.
That when the line was built from
Pecos the rates were made in combf-
nation with the T. e P. Ry., and the
freight carried wholly by that route,
but on being connected from Amaril-
10, abou 1899 the freight was princi-
pally carried from that connection, be
ing a shorter route from Kansas City,
Kansas points, Colorado points, North
Texas and Indian Territory points,
Chicago, st. Louis and the East. But
the rates from and to most, if not
from all, points north and east of FIT.
Worth and Amarillo were made or
the combination through Pecos, Texas
by adding to the rate to Pee either
a local rate from Pecos to points ON
the PecOs Valley Railway or by an
arbitrary one over the Pecos rate,
which system, after said lines of rail-
road were completed to Amarillo, was
an unjust i unreasonable system
n subjected the said localities on
he said line of railroad complaining
herein and the shippers from and to
those points to an unreasonable pre-
JUDGE and disadvantages; and the rat.
es, if reasonable heretofore which
compliments deny, therefore, became
unjust and unreasonable in violation
of the first section of the act to regu-
late commerce n constitute an I'M
reasonable prejudice n ~disadvan-'
age to the shippers and localities
complaining; and We're in violation OF
the fourth section of the act prohib-
iting a greater charge for the shorter
han the longer distance. The circum
stances and conditions being substan.
TALLY similar as applied to shipments
s~outnbound to Roswell, Hagerman, Ar
tesla, and Carlsbad from Chicago, from
Mississippi River crossings, Missouri
River crossings and other points TAX
ing similar bases of rates to Pecos,
Texas.
Complainants allege that the bases
of rates from Missouri River Cross
ings, Mississippi River Crossings,
| Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul.
and from Fort Worth, Dallas, Calves
ton, Texas and similarly situated
points, to Roswell, Hagerman, Artesia
and Carlsbad n other points on the
Pecos Valley lines in New Mexico,
should not be higher than the bases
of rates from ST. Louis, Chicago and
Kansas City and similar points to
Texas common points, Colorado COM
mon points, and places taking similar
rates and to FL Paso, C and Anna
rillo, because the business done at
points On the Pecos Valley Line must
be done in competition with the bust
ness done in Texas and Colorado adj
joining New Mexico on the east and
south andonthe north. Furthermore,
the defendants lines of railway which
carry freight to and from points on
the Pecos Valley Lines, also, serve
the Texas and Colorado common point
territory, AMARILLO, Pecos and Ell Pa
so, and that the conditions of perform
ing such transportation are substan-
TALLY the same.
