Regarding the final result, few
railroad men and shippers will even
hazard an opinion. The railroads
contend that conditions make it alb

their revenues, while the decisions of

This information is to be ready for

the supreme court will act on the
motion of the railroads for a new

The decision of the commission in
the cases affecting points west of
Denver were not final, but were, in
a measure, dependent upon the show

the time the decisions were rendered

the Kindel case is expected to affect
all inland territory west of Denver,
