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
