The Hartman Policy.

Within three years after the organiZa- ton of the Union Pacific railroad in 1S97
 MT. Edward II. Hartman became the dominating spirit in that corporation. As chairman of the executive committee ne exercised powers that are well nigh abso- lute. The directors have delegated their power ito manage and direct all the business and affairs of the company % an executive committee of five members who shall act Fin such manner as such committee shall deem best for the com panys interest in all cases in which spe- cfic d., ectons shall not have been given by the board" and in turn the chair man of the executive committee Is ar- thorized to represent that body when it is not in session. Accordingly we find that in 1902 Mir Hartman was "authorized to borrow such sums of money as may be required for the uses of this company
 and to execute in the name and on behalf of this company a note or notes for the amounts so borrowed rhe Investigation showed that in practically all the great transactions of this company, MT. Harri- man, as chairman of the executive com mittee, acted upon his own initiative. and his acts were subsequently, ratified and approved by the executive committee. It may fairly be said. therefore. that the policies and purposes of the Union Pa ciic have been those of MT. Hartman.
 When the Union Pacific was reorganized it owned lS225 miles of railroad extend ing from Council Bluffs, la, to Ogden, Utah, from Juesburg 10 Denver, from Denver to Cheyenne. from Kansas City to

Denver formerly known as the Kansas Paeifie) and various branches extending into the territory on each side of these main lines. Previous to reorganization the Ogden company had control, through stock ownership, of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern railway, and the Ore gon Railroad and Navigation company. These companies were also reorganized and shortly after the foreclosure sale the Union Pacific Railroad company acquired by stock ownership the control of these companies, and has since acquired suD- stantially all their stock The Oregon Short Line owns the line of railway from Granger, Wyo, on the Union Pacific, to Huntington, Ore. and from Salt Lake City to Butte, Mont. The Oregon Rail- road and Navigation company owns the lines from Huntington, Ore, to Portland. Ore, together with a number of impor- tant branch lines in the states of Wash ington, Idaho and Oregon. Prior to the acquisition of the control of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company also owned and operated a line of steamers from Portland to San Francisco and line of steamers from Portland to Japan and Chinese ports. The Union Pacific also owned one-half the stock of the Occi- dental and Oriental Steamship company, which owned and operated a line of steamers plying between San Francisco and Oriental ports.

CHINAMEN CAUSE
 RIOT IN LAUNDRY
A GENTLEMAN CALLS FOR PACK AGE AND SUMMONS POLICEMAN TO AID IN GETTING HIS WASH. AND A ROW FOLLOWS.

Meridian. Miss July 13.-(Specla1)- There came near being a riot on Fourth street tonight, precipitated by Chinamen in Chinese laundy.
 A well-known contractor went to the laundry for his package The Chinaman at the counter refused to give It to him. He called a policeman. The policeman stood guard while the gentleman searched for his wash. He was engaged in open ing package after package when the Chinese proprietor approached him in a threatening manner. h order to protect himself from attack he slapped the China man. In the twinkling of an eye the dozen or more Chnamen in the place made rush for the gentleman. One Chinaman shut and barred the street door while the others grabbed flat irons and made for the officer and the gentleman. The officer whipped out his revolver and held the angry Mongolians at bay while they by degrees made their way to the door and opened It. The affair created no end of excitement and at this hour feeling is so high that there is danger of more serious trouble.
 Judge Jeff Truly was a Meridian vis- itor short while today. He went from here to Chunky, where he addressed a large audience tonight. Hoon. E. \. Thomas will address a Meridian audience for the first time Monday night
 Hon Earl Brewer, also a candidate for governor, addressed a fine audience in Meridian at West End tonight. He made a splendid impression among those who heard him. He delivered his regular set speech.
 Today all the candidates for county offices and Railroad Commissioner Brad ley spent the day at Alamucha, where d neighborhood picnic was given.

 ties which were brought under the union Pacific control to degenrate and decline; as railroads they are better properties today, with lower grades, straighter tracks, and more ample equipment than they were when they came under that control. Large sums have been generously expended in the carrying on of engineering works and betterments, which make for the i'm proYement of the service and the per manent value of the property.
 The control of the Northern Pacific and Burlington by the Union Pacific was prevented eventually by the de- cision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of Hartman vs. Northern Securities company, in which that court held that it would be In violation of the Sherman act for the Union Pacific to control these railways as they were competing lines. The Southern Pacific remains within the control of the Union Pacific.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-14
Conclusion.

The effect of the control of the South ern Pacific by the Union Pacific has been to unify and amalgamate the man agement of these two railway companies and their steamship lines and to ellm- mate competition between them in trans continental business and In business to and from Oriental ports.
 The Union Pacific controls the San Pedro Los Angeles and Salt Lake rail- road, the stock of which Is deposited in the hands of a trustee. This line was originally intended as an independent road. extending from Salt Lake where it connects with the Union Pacific and with the Denver and Rio Grande, to Los Angeles and San Pedro, Cal There is, therefore no competition between these lines and the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. It appears that the Union Pacific also owns $10. 900 par value of the stock of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad company and about S3O,00O,- 900 more is owned by individuals con nected with the Union Pacific; making $40 1000, 0O0 or substantially + per cent of the entire capital stock of the Santa Fe company. Who owns this stock, out side of the S10,000,000, MT. Hartman de- clined to state. Two directors of the Union Pacific are also directors of the Santa Fe company; and there is now a division of the Oriental traffic by the PaclIlC StednSIllp COHlpdny, De- tween the Union Pacific and the Santa Fe systems. It appears that there has also been a division of the fruit traffic between certain California territory and the east, each taking a certain percent age; and that north of San Francisco the Union Pacific and the Santa Fe have joined and amalgamated their interests in the Northwestern Pacific railroad and that joint control has been inaugurated similar tO that of the Alton
 Prior to the acquisition of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific, the Denver and Rio Grande system, operating from Denver, where 1t connects with various roads to the east to Salt Lake and Ogden, was given equal facilities over the Central Pacific and thereby practically formed an other transcontinental line Since the amalgamation of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and the construction of the San Pedro road, this line has been denied equal facilities in the receipt and transportation of freight over, the Gen. tral Pacific and the San Pedro lines Its business, therefore, has decreased and it's ability to compete with the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific impaired. It is on this account the Gould lines are aiding the construction of another line from Og- den to San Francisco.
 The joint control of the Alton railway by the Union Pacific and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad com pany has undoubtedly limited competi- tion between the Alton and the Rock Island between Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City.
 These are conspicuous illustrations of the development of the theory of the community of interest and harmony of management" which MT. Hartman sug- gested when he demanded representation upon the Santa Fe board.
 If the policy of purchasing and control ling stocks in competing lines is permit

stock of the Chicago and Alton Rail road company. On, or about October 4, 1904, contract was entered into be- tween E. H. Hartman, Jacob H. Schiff James Stillman and R. s. Lovett (who were in fact trustees for the Union Pa citic Railroad company, and w. B. Leeds w. IT. Moore, D. G. Reid and J. H. Moore (who were in fact trus- tees for the Rock Island company, and the Central Trust company of New York, trustees. The contract was attended by a contract of January 30. 1906, by which MT. Leeds assigned his interest to w. H. Moore. n G. Reid and J. H. Moore. Under this contract, the stock owned by the Union Pacific and certain of the stock owned by the Rock Island-con- stitutine a controlling interest in the AL ton company-was deposited with the Central Trust company Of New York as trustee, under substantially the following arrangement:
 Each party agreed to deposit 103, 431 shares of stock. The trustee was to vote the shares of stock at the annual meet ing to be held in 1905 in favor of the election as directors, of two persons to be named by hartman and his asso- clates. At the annual meeting of 1906, the shares were to be voted in favor of one nominee, named by Hartman and his associates, and three nominees of Moore and his associates; and at each annual meeting thereafter for the cleo tion of directors and the trustee was tc ' so vote the stock for the election of dl- rectors of the railway company in each alternate year, the Union Pacific was tc have majority of the directors and the Hock Island company the majority; and each other alternate year the Rock Island company was to have the majority and the Union Pacific the minority, thereby giving the control of the road one year to the Union Pacific and the next year to the Rock Island.
 At the time of the last hearing in this matter, this contract was still in force, but notice has been given to the commission that by agreement between the parties thereto. it has been abro- gated and annuled. It would appear, therefore, that the Chicago and Alton railroad is now controlled through stock ownership by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific .- Railway company, which owns a line of railway from Chicago to Kansas City, which is parallel and competing with the line of the Chicago and Alton Railway company between the same points.

Control of the Southern Pacific.

VI VI eitS SCdhhCli 0SliiSa
 In all of it's acquisition of stock control in other railroads, the Union Pacific has either purchased the stocks direct ly or through the Oregon Short Line Rail road company, which it owns and controls, and which for the purpose of this re- port will be considered as the Union Pacific. In the year 1901, the Union Pa cific acquired 750,000 shares out of a total of 1,967, 492 shares of Southern Pacific com pany stock and subsequently, acquired 150,- G0O additional shares, making a total of 9000 coo shares, or 45.49 per cent of the total stock issue of the Southern Pacific com pany. Thereafter when the preferred stock of the Southern Pacific company was issued, the Union Pacific subscribed for it's proportion, to-wit: GOO shares, out of a total of 395,6SS shares, so that at the present time the Union Pacific owns 1OS0,0OO shares out of a total of 2,5.4100 shares.
 Among these lines so owned and con- trolled by the Southern Pacific, is the Central Pacific Railroad company organ ized under the laws of Utah July 19, 1899. which has a capital stock of $167,275, 300 par value, of common stock and $12,800000 preferred stock, all of which is owned by the Southern Pacific company; and the Southern Pacific company also has a lease of its line. It was only the line from ogden to San Francisco, however, which was required by the act of Con gress, hereinafter referred to, to be operated in connection with the Union Pacific.
 Immediately. however, upon the pur- chase of the Southern Pacific company's stock the Union Pacific began the unifca- ton of the two organizations and the exercise of control over the Southern Pacific, which has effected a substantial elimination of competition between these two lines.
 The Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line, have at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Southern acihc company since 1902, voted a majority of the stock presented at such meetings and have elected the directors and other officers. For several years past, the Union Pacific and Southern Paclnc have had a majority of common directors, the same, president, vice-president, director of traffic. director of maintenance and opera ton, secretary treasurer, comptroller, au- ditor, legal department, and other chief officials. Whereas. formerly the two com panies had separate commercial agents in the principal cities throughout the United States soliciting traffic over their respective lines, they now have common agents and solicitors, who represent the unified Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific systems. While the Union Pacific, through the Oregon Short Line, does not own 8 majority of the stock of the Southern Pacific, yet it appears by the testimony that it's control over it Is, for all practical purposes, as absolute as though 1t owned every share; and it was admitted by MT. Hartman that the Union Pacific controls the Southern Pa cfc.
