Chairman of Southern Pacific
Says Dissolution as Ordered
Will Check Growth of
Railways on Coast.
Washington, Nov. 22. The South
ern Pacific, if allowed to retain con
trol of the Central Pacific lines in
the west, will embark Immediately
upon an extensive program of expan
sion and betterment, Julius Krutt
uchiiitt, chairman of the Southern Pa
cific board, testified before the Inter
state Commerce commission.
On the other hand, the witness de
c tared, if the merger of the two Is
dissolved, as the supreme court has
ordered, the growth of railroad facili
ties along the Pacific coast will be
at least temporarily checked.
Both arguments were advanced to
support the application before the
commission by which the Southern
Pacific hopes to retain the Central
Pacific under a lease, notwithstand
ing th4 court's dissolution order, un
til such time as the general proposals
for consolidation of all the major rail
roads In the country are worked out.
Position .Attacked.
The appearance of Mr. Kruttschnitt
closed the direct testimony for the
merger corporations, but left the way
clear for arguments from the host
of interveners representing the west

H. A. Si'andns, counsel for tha

Southern's application, attacked itr.
Kruttschnitt's position In cross-exam-inaiion,
and also recalled for ques

Mr. Kruttschnitt said the "cloud,
