COAL COMPANY
MUST ANSWER
Union Pacific Concern to Face
Charge Of Combining With
The Railroads.
JUDGE SUsTAINS DEMURRER
On the First Count Charging Conspir-
acy-Case Grows Out of the
Sharp Incident OF 1906.

When the Union Pacific Coal COM
pany is summoned into court by the
United States it will face n charge OF
violating the act of Congress intended
TO protect trade. 1t will be charged
with combining with the Union Paci-
flc Railroad company, Oregon Short
Line company and individuals to con-
troll the retail price of coal in Salt Lake
City and thus restricting trade and
preventing competition. The case from
which the Indictment sprung was the
famous David ]. Sharp affair on or
about July 20, 1906
The defendant company scored
point this morning when Judge Mar
shall of the United States court hand
ed down a decision sustaining the con-
Germs demurrer to the first count of
the Indictment returned by the
grand jury during the November
term of court, 1907. The first count
charged conspiracy in violation OF the
sherman antitrust law and the
second count combining to prevent
competition, etc. The demurrer to the
second count was overruled. The COM
pany demurred to both, saying the
FIRST count was not substantlated by
law nor the evidence brought out by
the grand jury. A similar excuse was
given to cover the second count but the
court could see the wisdom of the
contention on the first count, only.
