GEORGE McDUFFEE, Sheriff. Dated at Heppner, Oregon, April 10, 1923. 50-2 UNION PACIFIC CHIEFPROTESTS Does Not Favor Grouping of Western Railroads Pro posed By Hale Holden. JUDGE LOVETT'S STATEMENT Declares a Re-Merger of Harriman System to Be the Only Fair Basis of Competition With Northern Lines, - San Francisco, April 2, 1923 "Consolidating all railways west of Chicago and the Mississippi River Into four systems as proposed recently to the Interstate Commerce Commission by Hale Holden, president of the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, would create many unnatural alliances and would greatly strengthen the so called Hill group of raliroads and greatly weaken the so-called Harriman group," said Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific System, at today's hearing before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Henry C. Hall. The commission's tentative plan com prising seven instead of four systems was characterized as affording the basis and ground work which should be departed from only with great cau tion. The Holden plan grouping the Union Pacific with tha Chcaern Mil. ,i, c of r..i 1 demned, the witness explaining that the commission's plan of. placing the Chicago & Northwestern with the Un ion Pacific was the only logical group ing, the ChlcagorMilwaukee & St. Paul being a competitor and the Chicago & Northwestern a connection and natural ally. "Should the Hill lines . merger be ap proved," Judge Lovett said, "a re-merger of the Harriman lines, Union Pa elfic and Southern Pacific, should be authorized to meet the strong combin ation which would be effected by the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington. The retention of the Cen tral Pacific by the Southera Pacific with the same conditions Imposed by the commission in the recent hearing, is satisfactory to the Union Pacific, as they protect with reasonable adequacy the rights of the Union Pacific," he said. Continuing he added: "Another striking effect of the way the Holden plan treats he old Harriman system appears when after assigning to the Southern Pacific the Rock Island, it also puts with the Southern Pacific the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas systems, with which the Southern Pacific does but little business, and with which It would have occasion to do even less after acquiring the Rock Island and also the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient which the press dispatches report Is about to be aban doned the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf and a half interest in the Denver & Rio Grande Western and the Denver and Salt Lake. The latter feature is es pecially dltfniflcant because it would Indeed effectually 'bottle up' or as Pro fessor Ripley expressed it, 'short cir cuit' the Union Pacific, since it would give the Southern Pacific a line of its own through from San Francisco to Chicago by way of Ogden and Denver paralleling the Union Pacific from Og den both to Omaha and Kansas City and paralleling also the lines allocated to the Union Pacific from Omaha to Chicago and elsewhere east of the Mis souri river. "The plan is more kind to the Santa Fe system, for it takes away from the Union Pacific group, where the commission's tentative plans places It, the Chicago & Northwestern, which in connection with the Union Pacific Is the door and gateway for most of the competition out of Chicago with the Santa Fe for Pacific coast traffic, and turns it over to the Santa Fe to gether with the Chicago, 8t. Paul, Min neapolis & Omaha, which is the prin cipal connection and almost the sole reliance of the Union Pacific for traf fic coming to its line at Omaha from St. Paul, Minneapolis and that terri tory. It gives to the Santa Fe the Canadian Pacific-controlled lines, the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Saint Marie and the Spokane International, thereby taking away another valuable connection of the Union Pacific at Spokane. "Thus the plan sends the Santa Fe as far into the northwest as Snokane, Washington. By going through Can ada and stopping short of Puget Sound, however, its capacity for harm to the business of other lines of the northwest would not be great, for while almost In sight of the promised land Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, it is 'given no entrance therein, but is held safe ly on the east side of the Cascade mountains at Spokane. The Santa Fe Is also given the St. Louis Southwest ern, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the New Orleans, Texas Mexico, the Western Pacific and a half interest In the Denver & Rio Grande Western, nd the Denver and Salt Lake. II takes away from the Santa Fe, how ever, the Colorado and Southern and the Ft. Worth and Denver City, which the tentative plan of the commission put with the Santa Fe consolidation, and transfers them to the group em bracing the Burlington and other strong Hill lines." Judge Lovett made it plain that he had no objection to the commission's authorizing a consolidation of the Hill Unas, but that if that were done the commission should also authorize the reconstitution of the Harriman group, the Union and Southern Pacific, to meet the strong combination that would be effected by the consolidation of the Hill lines. : The Holden plan, however, does not contemplate a consolidation of the k Union and Southern Pacific, but in stead weakens both by loading them down with lines with which they' have no natural affiliations and makes them competitive with their natural allies, notable in the case of the Union Pa cific by placing the Chicago & North western In a rival group. The Holden plan also would run counter to the legislation under which the Union Pa cific and Central Pacific were con structed as one continuous line by as signing to the Southern Pacific a half Interest in the Denver & Rio Grande Western and Denver and Salt Lake, which with the lines of the Rock Is land from Colorado Springs and Den ver to the Missouri river and Chicago would make it to the interest of the proposed Southern Pacific group to tear down instead of build up the Ogden route of the Union and Central Pacific. "In addition" he said, "both tho are sent far afield into territories where they have never been, where they have no business or connections and where apparently there is no shadow of reason for them to go. The Union Pacific is sent down into Ten nessee, Alabama, Louisana, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma with lines to New Orleans, Laredo on the Mex ican border and to El Paso, and again into northern Michigan. The Hill lines, lowever, ae treated very conserva tively in this respect and the only new territory in which they venture is from Fort Worth to Houston, Texas, and over the Kansas City Southern and an other short line to New Orleans." With reference to Mr. Holden's sub stitution of the Chicago, Milwaukee ft St Paul for the Chicago & Northwest ern for consolidation with the Union Pacific, Judge Lovett pointed out that the former is a competitor of the Un ion Pacific for traffic to and from the Puget Sound country, while the Chica go & Northwestern is a connection. The substitution would not only disrupt existing routes and channels of trade but would run counter to another re quirement of the law that competition be preserved as fully as possible. Again, the consolidation of the Union Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul would be a linking of the two weakest Puget Sound lines, while the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, which are the oldest and strongest lines in that territory, would bo con- solldated under the Holden plan. Such j an alignment would certainly not be j in the interest of giving, the Puget Sound country the best competitive J service. ! Concluding this portion of his testl- j mony Judge Lovett said, "The consoli dation of the Hill lines with their sub-1 sldlarles into a single system would so ; far overshadow Its competitors and any other railroad system proposed In the United States in size and financial strength and possibilities that one might Infer that a desire to meet this objection had something to do with the jumbling of the International-Great Northern, Texas and Pacific and St. Louls-Franclsco systems with the Union Pacific, and of the Missouri Pa cific, Toledo, Peoria Western and the Missouri Kansas t Texas, and var ious otner lines with the Southern Pa cific, In order that there should b other systems equal in mileage and investment to the Hill combination, however unequal in solidarity, finan cial strength and prospects and In traffic and operating relationships." Judge Lovett complimented highly the manner in which Professor Ripley and the commission had worked nut U. S.
