M 4, - : 4 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. TUESDAY, JUNE 20, ; 1922. SPROULE STATES S. P. AND U. P. TO STAY FRIENDS 3. "Th : Southern Pacific and Union ' - Pacific have been -. close' and , friendly connections from the time "the sverland reute was opened. they continue so at the present time and any competent management of too-Southern Pacific will continue .those friendly . relations " because they are to the self interest - of both companies and also to public r.; advantage.'' " , William Sproule, ' president of the . Southern Pacific' Railway; company, who arrived in Pontafi4 Monday, made this statement in discussing fears of the Union Pacific that this friendly . ; relation might be broken by toe Centra: . Pacific, fallincr into unfriendly control and that the Union Pacific might thus be injured. .. ? f . ' " " This comment also tef erred to the Union Pacific's ; attitude that If tbe Southern, Pacific" as it novr exists has . attached to Jt tee Rook Island system or any ether, such new relation might - ' alienate the Southern Pacific's friendly interest from the Union Pacific. , , VOX SEEKlsq KOAD8 , SprouJe- pointed out that the Southern - Pacific ha not"! sought, and is not seeking, ownership of other lines, but. - merely asks that thft Southern Pacific lines as now in existence be allowed to remain unbroken, "that, the public "' may have the advantage of its' un t broken public service as a common - carrier rather, than substitute for It a disrupted service under two car - rlers." .. ; , . ;i With further reference to the eon--. nection of the Central Pacific (operated under the same management as the Southern Pacific since, 1870) with-the ".Union Pacific at Ogden to form the ' Overland Route; ;Mr. Sproule said: "There can be no such thing as .closing a- gateway or restricting its 'use. The Southern Pacific could not of its own motion divert a ton of freight or a passenger from the Union Pacific, and neither could the Union Pacific's divert from the Southern Pacific, if the i shipper or passenger stipulated for movement over the Cen- r tral Paciflo- or Union Pacific, or both. IAW COYJEBS HOTJTE8 "Today every shipper routes his . ' freight over the line he designates, demands- a bill of lading showing that routing, and It is given him freely. .This the ' law requires, and it could not be withheld if the railroad wished to withhold It." - Noting1 that the supreme court did not Justify its recent decision order ing separation of Southern Pacific and "Central .Pacific lines by; any reference to the Pacific railroad acts, the South ern Pacific executive said the Pacific - railroad acta require simply that- the line from Omaha to Ogden and. Ogden to San Ifranclsco should be operated as one continuous line without discrimina tion of pne road against another,; no matter who operates them. He con- ttnued : ! "That the Southern . Pacific ' has at . all times performed its duties and ob ligations under the Pacific railroad arts was acknowledged by Union Pa . olfic ' officials in their testimony, in : eourt. . CITES ACT OF COICGRE8S - I "It was clearly contemplated by con gress that tbe through line might he operated la separate ownership toy ' two companies, for congress by the act of May s. 1870, fixed the common terminus. and point of junction of the Union Pacific with the Central Pa """ cific at a point-near the station at Ogden within the limits of nine seo tions of land described in the act. and -j Portland's Continues SPOR em"S Three Hundred Pairs S-9r'Six Different Styles -S-8t Qjs ' "sizes and widths are complete GJs NO LESS : Front $7 to $9 Values Reduced to Thh Price- NO LESS JsTo- .4419 Brown r horsehkle dark brown calf aproov ' rubber heel.

Calling attention to the fact that the Central Pacific 1s and has been for 'so many decades, operated as part of the railroad system of the Southern Pacific j that the whole operation has been a unit b-uilt up to serve the peo ple of the Pacific coast," Mr. Sproule continued : '- "Every device suggested for tearing asunder this system U In the nature of a -mere makeshift. EXPtJlIjrS SITUATION " . "The fact is that if such were tinder taken, it would be necessary first for this company to get xid of the Cen tral Pacific, With or, without a buyer. The Central Pacific would then have to connect up. its separate lines and re arrange its terminals In order- to con nect up Its service. The -. Southern Pacific wouid - have to find means of connecting its - separate terminals and separate lines in order to complete its service." "Both would Involve expenditures from which the public, would derive no benefit. ;T ; After it was : aJl done they would have no better line service than before, but would have to deal with two lines instead of one. Then, to run the roads now operating organizations would have to be created." for the pres ent operating-divisions and,; train runs would become misfits. The breaking up Of the lines would be without any relation to present division and train arrangements. This would seriously affect the yard, engine and trainmen and undo for them much-that has re quired years to achieve. OPPOSES SUGGESTION : ', "The suggestion made by-'Carl Gray, president of the 1 Union Pacific, ' that in order to comply with the Pacific railroads: act the Central Pacific mutt be torn from 'the Southern pacific is without merit and especially so with due regard to the public Interest. ; "The Pacific railroads act requires simply that tbe Una from Omaha to Ogden and from Ogden to San Fran cisco be operated as a physically con nected line, not in the sense of owner ship, but as a matter of-not breaking the line ' by putting obstacles in the way which would prevent unobstructed movement. They were to be operated .without, discrimination as one railroad against another, no matter who oper ates them. "When the Union Pacific In Mr. Har rlman's time got control of the South ern Pacific tbe position of the Central Pacific, now discussed, remained un changed. The traffic was handled during that control as It has been handled since that control ended. FAITH IS SEPT "It is to be ngted that when Mr. Harriman controlled both Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific he never attempted to take away the Central Pacific portion of " the Southern Pa cific from the latter and attach it to the Union Pacific. "The Pacific railroads act was in tended to provide, for that kind of operation which the laws have since made universal. ; The court did not justify its recent decision by reference to the act. neither did it take cog nizance of the transportation act of: 1920. The decision was expressly placed upon the court's . construction of the Sherman anti-trust act and that alone. ' "Full faith has been kept with the Union Pacific, the government and the people. As to the closing of the. gate way, that is a mere figure of speech. The laws have robbed -the railroads of the power to close a gateway. The Southern Pacific' as now constituted mid not or its own motion divert a n of freight or one passenger from thV Union . Pacific, neither- could the Union Pacific of its own motion : only the shipper or passenger can do it." GLTJB DEPARTMENT ASKS OREGON REPRESENTATION Oregon City, June 20.

It was scheduled to be by round and George Gardner was to referee, but after it began, all rules were forgotten" and ; bare fists flew until S. Mortori, ex- jraiyw nu newspaper - piuueiier, ap peared ant demanded that Potter end it. Both men had black eyes - and puffed lips as mementoes. The. trouble " started in the police court when Harrison was arrested be cause of a temporary license on a de livery car, to . which HofmUler , ob jected. .Bad blood is said to have ex isted before this between the men. During the-court proceedings the lie was passed and an invitation to battle given and accepted. Word of the com ing battle spread, and more than 200 men, women and children gathered for It.

In : the New York federal court: restraining any" one from filing claims against the vessel, pending the outcome of petition to limit the amount of liability. The court did jiot render an opinion, as the attorneys requested: five days la which to file briefs. t , The libel grew -out of a wreck on May 25 in the Columbia river between the Iowan and" "Welsh Prince, in which seven sailors' were killed; and others Injured.
