Consolidated Fuel Company OF Utah
and the Castle Valley Coal Company
of Wyoming in complaint filed with

against the Atchison, Topeka & San

riers in the Rocky Mountain terri

The rates are declared to be eNces-
sive because, principally, the carriers
refuse to make through routes and

per ton on local commodities exists

which comes to them loaded, 80
miles. This is a pretty fancy figure

there should be some adjustment
made
This fact has been placed before

merchant in written form. All
that is necessary for the Connissiol,
to take this matter up is a written
complaint on the part oi any mer-
chant reee wing the consignment The
Commission will then thoroughly in
vestigate the stiff rate and cite the
management OF the Y. & T. to show
cause why ii should not be compelled
to reduce its freight rates.
The rate as figured Out by a local
merchant is six and one third cents
per ton per mile over the Y. & T., as
against five and one quarter mills per,
ton per mile over the Southern Pa
cifc, and yet the Consumer Union
is asking that the Surthefn Pacific
further reduce its freight charge.
Lately there has been placed i'll
