Colorado Fuel A Iron company to ee- "casa in the rates paid for such ser
cure, by various and devious metheds. v,co Te increases granted in tho
control of great areas of tho richest coal
land in tho West.
The Union Pacific Coal Company is a
subsidiary corporation of tho Union
Pacific Railroad company. All tho
stock of tho coal company, except
qualifying shares for directors, is owned
by tho railroad company. Tho coal
company secured control of n largo
amount of scrip and used it to secure
cntir of land, which was rich in the
finwt bituminous coal of tho Wyoming
field.
As it is the coal company is anxious
to return the valuable land to the gov
ernment and end tho mattet. But the
matter will not bo allowed to end
there. While there is no rxssible de
fense to the title under which this scrip
land has been claimed, this, though
very valuable, constitutes only a small
part of the coal land now held by the
Union Pacific railroad, the Union Pa
