The Wall Street Journal says. "It
Is generally believed In well informed
quarters that one of the results of the
Investigation of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific by the Interstate
commerce commission and their at
torneys will be an order from the com
mission to command the Union Pacific
tu hill Its Southern Pacific stock. In
fact, m n result It H possible that
tiio Union Pacific will be ordered by
the commission to sell its Atchison,
St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern and
perhaps even Chicago & Alton stocks
in addition to its Southern Pacific
stock. This would have no material
effect upon the Union Pacific policy.
The Union Pacific ownership of these
stocks is chiefly of an investment na
ture and will be a small matter, as it
could invest in other securities pay
ing an equally good return. Aside
from these two Issues, the chances
are that the interstate commerce com
mission will recommend further legis
lation governing railroad corporations,
attempting probably to define the
scope of their financial operations and
the power which may be vested in any
one official. If the commission orders
the Union Pacific to sell Its Southern
Pacific stock there Is little doubt that
the order will bo contested to the last
ditch by Harriman people, just as the
Northern Securities case was contest
ed In the courts for several years.
An eminent railroad lawyer savs: 'if
the Union Pacific Is ordered to sell
Its Southern Pacific stock there Is no
reason in the world why most of thf
big railroads in the land should not
be compelled to take similar steps In
connection with stocks In subsidiary
lines. The sale of this stock would,
of course, In many cases dissolve tho
entlro system. It appears to be a
question of only making the Invest tea
lion and then applying the principle
which the supremo court may lay
down."
