WESTERN COAL TRUST
Commerce Commission Makes
Charges against Railroads.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. April 2SAn account of the extent
to which large curporatior5. especially the ran
roads have succeeded obtaining and perpetual
ing monopoly Of the coal supply in certain West
ern states was given to the Senate to-day by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. pursuant to a
joint resolution adopted MasCh :. 1900 instruct
ing that commission to investigate alleged railway
discrimination and monopoes in coal and Oil The
report submitted to-day is the third received pur-
suant to this resolution.
The report affirns that the coal supply of Okla
hona. Utah and Wyoming Is almost entirely in the
control of a somewhat complex monopoly. consist
ing primarily Of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company.
which is owned by the Utah Fuel Company New
Jersey corporation with capital of Slo0000o this
being owned in by the Rio Grande Western
Railway Company, which is itself owned by the
Denver x Rio Grande Railway Company. All these
roads are understood TO be part of the Gould
system.
The report charges that extensive frauds have
been pernetrated by the Pleasant Valley Coal Com
pany to acquire coal lands. which have been
entered upon by dummy entrymen school teach
and others, and that the company has thus
obtained all the coal lands worth having in its
vicinity. The report says: The Interstate Com
Commission finds that the acquisition of coal
lands by such coal and fuel companies had been
attended with fraud perjury, violence and disre-
gard the rights of Individuals
The report further alleges that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company has been getting .bates from
the railroads, which gave it practically MONOPOLY
the said company being from 37l2 to So
cents while the rate to private dealers was
from 70 cents to 81 .
With regard 20 leases in Oklahoma. the report
says that OF 100 coal land leases made fftyeight
were controlled by railways, and il alleges that
the railways. through the manipulation of cars
and other methods. forced all the of leases
a combna ton known the McAlester Fuel
Company. which acted Il selling agent for the
entire product This company, the report af1rms
WIS controlled by a directorate composed Of one
representative Of each Of the contracting parties
As Il result Of this combination. the commission
finds the price Of coal Oklahoma City, 10 miles
from the mines. forced up to 81 and 81 30 ton,
hile the price farmers within radius of two
hundred miles 50 a
With reference TO the fuel monopoly in Wyoming
the report says: 1t does not appear that the
officers of the Union Pacific RI ilway have ever
been personally interested in the development of
any coal property, that they have ever benefited
from operations in coal along the line Of that
road" 1t says further, however. that the Union
Pacific Railway Company does absolutely dominate
the mining transportation and selling of coal
along its line The Union Pacific Railway Company
and the Union Pacific Land Company have been
suothering competition. and II the policy OF with
drawing public coal lands is discontinued 1t Will
lead eventually 10 smotIering all competition.
