to nut into effect either or both OF
these measures. it should not be over
looked that such legislation would SIM
piy apply to traffic within the state
of Utah, and could not be applied 10
coal shipments originating at mines on
the Oregon Short Line and Union IA
cifie.
# called his attention to the fact that
Ii required the combined efforts OF inc
ccal mines located on the Rio Grande
Western and Oregon Short Line Union
Pacific last wiater to meet the demand
of Utah for coal. and If adverse legisla-
ton should compel the y. G, w. road To
reduce its freight rats to an undesir-
able figure. thai body woule have no
power to compel the o. >. L.-u. i. 70
meet such rates. and the result wouid
be that the product OF those mines
would seek other markets which would
of course, mean a serious coal shortage
In Utah and its attendant disastrous re-
suits.
II further reminded him that notwith-
standing the advance in recent years OF
anywhere from 80 10 $50 per cent in the
cost of maintaining and operating our
railroad, and which applied to all other
railroads. our company had not ad-
vanced its freight rates on coal. but on
the contrary had made very suostan-

years"
Mr.. Derrah further states that the
current freight rates were not specific
ally discussed and he was not asked for
an opinion as to how the Rio Grande
would regard a request for still fur
Their reduction in coal rates.
This is what the News" did say in
quoting Mr.. Derrah:
BY s " Derrah: I'VE cannot re-
duce the freight on coal to Salt Lake.
Operating expenses have increased
steadily for two years. The freight
rate was dropped once. You must re-
member the Rio Grande is a mountain
road, and requires three engines to pull
an ordinary passenger train over Sol
der summit To compare our rates
with rates for prairie hauls, is unfair.
Besides this, If we dropped the rate
from Castle Gate, the Union Pacific
would be unable to meet the cut with
wyoming coal, and would withdraw Its
coal from this market, and alone Te
could not All all the orders, so that
disaster would surely come to the COM
munity."
