REPLY FILED TO
CLUBS COMPLAINT
Determination Charges Against the
| Union Electric Co., Denied by
! Company In Reply.

The Union Electric Light and Pow
er com pany has filed reply to the
complaint made against 1t Of discrim-
ination by the Engineers Incitation
Club of st. Louis before the Missouri
state public service commission. Ev-
er yimportant item in the complaints
Is denied.
The club charged that the rates OF
the company were unfair and dis
icriminatory, and that the Union Elec-
trio held collusfve contract with
the Keokuk Power Co.. from which a
part OF the energy sold by the Un-
/ ion Electric is obtained. and that dis.
elimination has been practiced In
such sale between consumers. 1t was
also alleged that this contract would
enable the Union Electric to drive
competitors out OF business.
The company denies all Of these
statements. The answer states that
the company does furnish electricity
to many small residential consumers.
even at loss to itself, and that II
any right Of complaint would exist
against it, it would be on the part of
the large consumers. The consum-
ers who enter into contracts for .
prescribed quantity Of current for
long hours are stated in the reply to
be the most profitable ones to the
company.
The commission will shortly set a
date for hearing the parties con-
cerned. II it is decided to make an
extensive inquiry. the experts of the
commission will be directed to go
over the books Of the Union Electric
and follow up whatever qualifications,
il any, 1t may have with other COM
panies generating electricity, and
possibly make physical valuation
