Much Competition as Ever

Two attorneys representing the gov
ernment made determined efforts yes
terday afternoon to induce two traffic
managers of transcontinental railways
to admit that a concentration of own
ership means the stifling of competi'
tion in railroad traffic. The attorneys
wera Messrs. Severance and Kellogg,
and the traffic managers were ]. c.
Stubbs. of the Southern Pacific-Union
Pacific system, and J. NJ. Hannaford,
of the Northern Pacific railroad. Both
men contended that despite the con-
solidation of interests that has taken
place between the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific and between the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern, competition between the lines
which are under the same ownership
is as sharp today as ever it was.
John Hannaford, second vice presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific, who Is in
charge of the traffic on that line, said
that i'm the pools conducted prior to
1887 the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific were represented as separate
lines. He had always considered the
Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific,
In connection with the Oregon Short
Line, as competitors of the Northern
Pacific for Portland traffic. The North
ern Pacific could not be an active com.
petitor of the Southern Pacific on busi-
ness from the east to San Francisco,
