.WASHINGTON, Ma). 29,-Dis-tuiliition
(if ownership iiml control
of the Central I'liciiic railway by
the Southern I'ncifie company
w.i ordered today by the supreme
court i an opinion delivered by
Justice Day. The decision in the
cac, which was the last of the
railroad merger suits to conic be
fore the court, held that the two
lines wtrr. competitive. Justices
XlcRcyiiolds anil Hrandcis, be
cause of their official connections
prifir to Kon'H ulK)n ,1,c bench, did
not uarlicipatr. Justice Mc
Kenna delivered a short dissent.
The onrt directed that a de
cree be entered severing the con
trol by the Southern Pacific of the
Central 1'acific by stock owner
ship or by lease, but in nccoin
' ilishiii( that cud in so far as com
patible, said the mortgage, lien of
the I'nion Trust company of New
York should be protected.
, The several terminal lines ami
cutoffs leading to San Francisco
Hay which have been constructed
or' acquired during the unified
control of the two systems for
convenient access to the bay, and
tu the principal terminal facilities
about the bay, should be dealt
with, the court declared, either by
way of apportionment or by pro
visions for joint or common use,
in such manner ns will secure to
liotli companies such full, conven
ient and ready access to the bay
and to terminal facilities thereon
that each- company will be able
freelv to compete with the other.
to serve the public efficiently and
to acconiiitisli the purpose of the
legislation under which it was
constructed.
Like Course With Other Lines
A like course should be pursued
Justice Day added, in dealing with
the lines extending "from San
Francisco Hay to Sacramento and
to Portland, Oregon.
The case had been pending
since February 11. 1914, when Un
united States asked the United
States district court of Utah to
restrain the two railroads, the
Union Trust company of New
York and the directors and of
ficials of the Southern Pacific
under the Sherman anti-trust and
the Pacific railroad act. The
United States asserted the lines of
the two railroads constituted
competitive ; systems and asked
that the ownership acquired by
the Southern Pacific of a con-
trolling interest in the Central
Pacific be declared unlawful.
A minute history of the two
roads was given by Justice Day
leading up to what he termed "the
outstanding facts" of the physical
operation of the two railroads.
"The Central Pacific with its
eastern connection at Ogden,
forms one great system of trans
portation between the East and
the West," the opinion stated,
"and the Southern Pacific with its
roads and connections and steam
boat lines, forms another great
transcontinental system for trans
portation from coast to coast.
l'ho Central Pacific constitutes
Rome 800 miles nf transcontinental
line of which it is a part, The
Southern Pneific system 1"!
practically its own line of rail
roads ami stenmhnnt connections
to New York via Galveston and
New Orleans,"
