ARRAIGNMENT OF SANTA FE
Flagrant, Willful and Continued Violation
of federal Law ii Okarged,
ALSO VIOLATES AN ORDER OF COURT
Interstate Commerce Commtaalon
Files Decision Covering; Agreement
Between Railroad and Colorado
Feel aad Iron Com pan 7.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. "Flagrant, will
ful and continuous violation of the law dur
ing; the last five years," Is the way the
Atchison. Topeka St Santa Fe Is arraigned
In a decision promulgated today by the
Interstate commerce committee on the
alleged unlawful rates and practices" of
that road In the transportation of coal and
mine supplies, Involving also the Colorado
Fuel y& Iron company. The main points
of the decision, summarizing the way In
which It Is alleged the law has been vio
lated and disregarded, are as follows:
' The act to regulate commerce requires
carriers to publish and adhere to their
tariffs. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Hallway coinpuny has for the lust Ave
cars wilfully and continuously violated
thin provision of the law In the respects
hiiove stated.
February 19. 1903, the so-called "Ellllns
Mil" was enacted, providing that carriers
mould In no case transport traffic untU a
tariff had been published, and that the
puhllHhed tariff should be observed, and
providing a penalty of not less than $1,000
nor more than ;!O,O0O for each offense.
. The provisions of this statute extend
both to the railroad company which grants
and the party which receives the conces
sion. Both the Santa Fe and the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company systematically and
continuously violated the provisions of that
act In the particulars mentioned -from the
day of Its passage down to November 27,
11)04, when the tariffs under which the
coal moved were reduced In all cases 11.16.
It would seem that the El Paso & South
weetorn railroad was also In violation of
the same statute during that period, but
that company was not a party to this
proceeding and has not been heard.
It should be further observed that on
March 25, 1902, the United States circuit
court, In a suit begun at the instance and
request of the Interstate commerce com
mission enjoining the Atchison, Topeka &
rtnnta Fe Railroad company to observe In
all respects Its published schedules or rates.
That company from the date of this in
junction down to November 27, 1904. was
apparently in continuous disregard of that
order of court In Its failure to maintain,,
these coal tariffs.
Mining; Company Had a snap.
The alleged infractions of the law were
first caled to the attention of the committee
toy the claim of the Caledonia Coal com
pany,' operalng a coal mine at Gallup,
iy. M., that the Santa Fe road waa dis
criminating against It in favor of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. A eon
tract of the Santa Fe with the Caledonia
company expired in 1898 or 1899, and was
not renewed, and when It attempted to And
a market for its steam sizes of coal. It 1
charged, "It ascertained, apparently, that
coal both from the Trinidad region and
from the mines at Gallup were being sup
plied at a price which about equalled the
freight rate alone from the point of pro
duction to destination."
The decision says that "tio other Indi
vidual could do business la competition
with the Colorado Fuel and Iron company

In this field unless he enjoyed the same
freight rate advantages; that when other
Individuals endeavored to make contracts
In competition with the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company they were compelled to pay
the published rate and therefore were un
able to furnish the coal, and that under
this arrangement the Santa Fe company
and Colorado Fuel and Iron company virtu
ally entered Into a partnership In the
handling of this coal. In the execution of
which the published schedules of the Santa
Fe were utterly disregarded!.
Cabinet Considers Matter.
At the Conclusion of a long cabinet meet
ing today Attorney General Moody and
Secretary Morton remained with the presi
dent for a considerable time, the latter
finally accompanying the president from the
executive office to the White House when
he went to luncheon. Railroad rate legis
lation was under discussion, but beyond
the fact that the report of the Investiga
tion made by the Interstate Commerce com
mission of the charge that the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad had granted
rebates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany formed a basis for a part of the dis
cussion, nothing was learned concerning It
As he left the executive offices Attorney
General Moody said, the report of the com
mission had not reached him yet, although
he had understood It had been forwarded
to the Department of Justice. He said he
could not, therefore, make any statement
concerning It. It is understood, however,
that under an act of congress officials of
a railroad who testify before the Interstato
Commerce commission in an Investigation
are rendered Immune thereby from prose
cution for such offense against the law,
as may be disclosed by their testimony.
WhetVr officials of the same corporation
who do not testify also are immune from
prosecution for the offenses charged Is said
to be a serious question of law. Secretary
Morton was one of the cflclals of the Atch
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad who tes
tified before the commission during Its in
vestigation of the rebate charges.
Private Car Line Hearing.
E. H. Ferguson of Duluth, Minn., rep
resenting the Retailers' and Shippers' as
sociation, continued his statement before
the senate committee In Interstate com
merce today. He made especial complaint
of the secret routing agreements of the
railroads operating In the fruit centers of
the west. This arrangement enabled the
railroads to select lines without consulting
the shippers and Mr. Ferguson said that
loss and inconvenience often resulted to
perishable goods. He charged discrimina
tion by the railroads In the interest of the
Armour private refrigerating car line com
pany, saying that the charges of that com
pany were' often double those of the rail
road lines themselves. This he said was
due to the exclusive contracts which the
Armour company had been able to procure
and he asserted that the organization and
success of the beef trust were traceable
to these contracts. In reply to questions
Mr. Ferguson expressed the opinion that
the railroad officials were interested in
the private car companies, but that the
railroad companies themselves secured no
benefit from the arrangements with the
companies.
