Utah Stat- Press Association - Recently the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad filed an application with the Interstate Commerce Commission to compel establishment of joint rates via its line between Ogden and Colorado junctions on traffic moving to and from Union Pacific territory in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington In analysis this move on the part of the D&RGW appears to be nothing more than an attempt to move in on the territory the Union Pacific has built up and served. It would mean the obliteration of the long haul privileges the U. P. has been awarded for the investment of millions of dollars in providing equipment, facilities and service for this area. The Union Pacific or any other railroad is dependent largely upon traffic from the territory it serves for the revenue necessary to the continuing development of the area.

The problem of rent decontrol varied so much from one city to another that the general powers of the federal government could not possibly rectify the the situation in every community. Since that time public meetings have been held in many cities for the purpose of allowing the city councils to hear the arguments for and against the decontrol of rent before they take action.
