UNMER6IN6 PLAN
IS DISAPPROVED
SAN FUANCISCO, Feb. 2. qr
iiix itii htaml on its objection to the
breaking of tho locnl system of the
Southern Pacific within tho state of
California, the Rtnle milronJ coin
mission early today hnmlcd down a
decision which practically defeats
tho plans for nnmerfrtn-r tho Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads
ns arranged by railroad officials and
AUornoy Ocueral Wickcrshnm. The
principal petitions of thn Southern
and Central Pnoifio railroads for
joint use of tracks and terminal fa
cilities have in effect, been denied.
Opposes Dissolution
Tho commission declared tho pro
posed plan of dissolution would re
duce the Southern' Pacific to the po
sition of an inferior line, that there
would be one strong lino and ono
weak line, and that tho Union Pacific
wonld dominate the Southern Pacific.
The comnisMon also flatly stated it
wonld withhold its approval of tha
unmcrsiujr plan unlev? the Southern
Pacific would ajrreo to allow any
corepetiaff road the same privilege or
joint usttfof the Benicia line, and ter
minal facilities upon similar terms
which it proposes to accord to the
Union Pacific. It also suirgested if
the federal authorities rhould in list
on the divesting of the Sonlhern Pa
cific of the main line of the Central
Pacifio to Osrden. it would prefer to
se this accomplished by a lease.
The commission's stand on the nn
mcrging plans was sent to Attorney
General "Wickersham at St. Louis to
day in the following summary:
Summary of Pka
"Oeorjro W. Wickersham, attorney
general of tho United States, St
Leuts: Commission approves appli
cation on tho following conditiens:
"First : Tho Union Pacifio bo lim
ited to tho lino from Sacramento by
way of Kiles to Oakland as an cxclu
bive line.
"Secend: If Southern Pacific
Krauts Central Pacific right to um
the Benicia short line, it shall ac
cord to all of tho competing carrier
liko privilege on similar terms.
"Third: If Southern Pacific
prants to Central Pacific joint use
of terminal facilities and industry
tracks it shall grant to any othr
opmpclinjj lino applying therefore
privileges on similar terms.
"Feurth: Commission approves
000 year lease on line from Tehama
to Oregon.

"Fifth: Commission approves sale
of California portion of lino from
Weed to Natron, Oregon.
"Sixth : Commission approves
trackage rights over Bay Shore cut

"Eighth : Commission impose
coudition that Central and Southern

shall not exceed the rates now in ef
fect between tho same points upon
the Southern Pacific within the state
of California.
"Ninth: Commission provides, by
agreement of thn particn, that its ap
proval shall wot M-re to revive or
extend any franchise of companies
involved. Although the commission
deems Uiis unnecessary, it was done
on application of Oakland and Sacra
mento and by agreement with repre
sentatives of railroads.
Ilailroads Hedged
"Tenth; Commitwiion requires that
railroads involved shall bind them
helves to accept conditions imposed
beforo order becomes effective."
Judge Lovett testified that imposi
tion of conditions would require fur
ther negotiations and would dofc-it
plnu and requested that if the com
mission found such cpurso nocossnry
it indicate the terms upon which it
would approve (hose matters within
its jurisdiction. Accordingly in sup
jrfemoiOtul opjiiiou cominibsion eeth
out terms of its approval.
