Retail merchants associations all over

there is a movement on foot to have each

Both men contended that despite the con-
solidation OF interests that has taken place
between the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific and between the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern. competition
between the lines which are under joint
ownership is as sharp today as II eyer was.
The examination of Mr.. Stubs covered all
points connected with the history and
trafie arrangements of the Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific, Central Pacific and
many OF the allied lines which are now
under the control OF E. II. Hartman
Mr.. Stubs asserted from first to last that
the Union Pacific never had been an &C
tive competitor of the Southern Pacific on
California business for the reason that 1t
had no outlet beyond Ogden over its own
rails direct to California. Such compe-
tition. he said, as had existed between the
two roads in the past is still in existence.
The Union Pacific, he claimed, is but
link in the transportation between the Mis-
souri, river and California and not a sepa-
rate and Independent line. In his opinion
II never had occupied the latter position
so far as through trafHc was concerned.
When asked IL he did not believe that a
railroad which has a large surplus, and is
paying 10 per cent dividends. is In a po-
sition to favor the public with lower rates
than it has in effect at the present time,
Mr.. Stubs, with considerable feeling, said
that IL the Union Pacific was the road
under consideration he would urge the
members OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and their attorneys to remember
that while the Union Pacific may be pros
porous now. Its stockholders had expert
enced many lean years" and that there
was no human guarantee that the present
satisfactory conditions in railroad trafhc
throughout the country would be indef-
nitely maintained,
Upon the suppression of competition Mr..
Stubs declared It was not possible for
this to be done, no matter who owned the
parallel lines under consideration. Subor-
dinates with regulations to make or to
sustain would work for the interests of
their lines against all other lines and COM
petition must therefore inevitably follow.
He asserted that James J. Hill, while prob
ably the leading railroad man in the coun-
try, could not abolish competition between
the Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern because of the personal spirit of the
men he employs 'Tf Mr.. Hill takes that
spirit out of his men," said Mr.. Stubs
with much emphasis, "he might as well
hand the management of his railroads over
to a 500 clerk"
Mr.. Hannaford expressed similar views
regarding competition.
The only other witness OF the day was
NJ. C. Markham, traffic manager Of the
Missouri Pacific.
Mr.. Markham declared that in his opinion
the Union Pacific was not a link in trans
continental transportation, as contended
yesterday by the attorneys for Mr.. Harri-
man, but as long as the Portland gateway
is open it is a Pacific coast line in itself.
The witness said that before the consolida-
ton the Union and Southern Pacific lines
we're competitors for the California fruit
trade and for passenger business also

South Dakota instituted suit against North
