(U. P.) The federal government, by decision of the supreme court, today won its his anti trust suit against the Southern Pacific railway and associated' interests. The court held that the acquisition, ownership and control ' of the Central Pacific line from Ogden to San Fran cisco, by the Southern Pacific, restrains competition in interstate commerce and therefore violates the Sherman anti-trust law. " As a result the court announced the Southern Pacific must divorce itself from the old Central Pacific line. The court decision was six to one. Justice ' McKenna dissented and Judges McReynolds and Srandel took no part in consideration of Oe case. ; v Forcing the dissolution of the two rail roads is unfair, McKenna. declared. The leasing- of the Central Pacific by ' the Southern Pacific he said, had the im plied approval of the government at the time and enabled the government - to .collect $58,000,000 which it otherwise could not have collected, v San Francisco, May 29. The supreme court's decision . today in the Southern Pacific anti-trust suit probably will mean bringing the Central Pacific railway lines between Ogden and, San Francisco under the control of the Union Pacific, it was believed at the Southern Pacific offices here today. i : The ease Is of vast Importance In that it will take from the Southern Pacific some of the most important lines used by It in handling transcontinental traffic, 'Some of the results: of such a physical separation. it was declared, would be: : The Oregon tline, owned entirely - by the Southern ; Pacific, with the ' excep tion of a few; miles north of Klamath Concluded cm Pace Eih Cotomn Sens) :ence In Ball Muddle Following are excerpts of the corres pondence in the' Kenworthy case, which contains 22 mimeographed pages. -October 14W.
