power of the Securities company IS
used in a lawful manner and for lawful
purposes 1t is immaterial who owns
its stock"
The decision further. declared that
the Union Pacific and the Illinois Cen
trail are not competing but connect
ing lines and that the Union Pacific,
under its charter and the laws of
Utah, has a clear right to own shares
of stock of Illinois Central which 1t
purchased in 1906, and that 1t has the
essential right to vote that stock at
meetings of the stockholders of the
Illinois Central, unless the right Is FOR
hidden by the laws or public policy OF
Illinois Central The court said in
conclusion on this subject;
such prohibition does not exist ull-
less it affirmatively appears. 1t Is
not established by the mere lack Of
legislation upon that subject"
Office Of Injunction
In concluding his decision, Judge
Ball said:
1.-THE usual office of a preliminary
Injunction is to continue the status quo
until the final hearing. To sustain
this preliminary injunction and thus
to prevent the Union Pacific and the
Railroad Securities company from vot-
ing their STOCK at the coming election
will be to change the status quo be-
fore the right Of these corporations to
own and Vote,such stock has been fully
and finally determined by the court
With those conditions barred out, the
meeting might result in an entire
change in the management of the Illi-
nois Central. To dissolve the injunc-
ton and let the action of the court
in regard to the ownership and voting
power of this stock await the final
hearing, means no more than the
continuance of the present manage
ment with the change of one director
only and he. eight of the director de-
PENDANTS swear, with an able compe-
tent man neither controlled nor con-
nected by or with the Union Pacific,
The balance of convenience and in
convenience is clearly with the de-
PENDANTS.
II am of the opinion that the de-
PENDANT company and the Union Pa
cific have ownership of the shares of
stocks they hold in Illinois Central in
Guiding the right to vote that stock at
the coming meeting of stockholders
and that such right to vote is not for
hidden by the statutes of this state or
by decisions of our supreme court nor
by the public policy of Illinois Cen
trail.

ton is allowed"

ASK TIME
TO COMPLY
WITH Law
WABASH ROAD IS IN NEED OF
OPERATORS
MI ST CLOSE STATIONS WITHOUT
EXTENSION
Proposition Has Serious Aspect as
Far as Small Places on the
Line Are Con-
eerned


by Associatef Press
WASHINGTON Feb. 20--A PROPOSE
ton very serious to many thousands of
people residing at and in the vicinity of
small railroad stations throughout the
country Is presented to the interstate
commerce commission in an informal
petition In which the Wabash Railroad
company asks for an extension of time
Tor going into effect of the nine-hour
law. which applies to railway em-
pioyes who have the direction of move
ments of trains. 1t is declared in the
petition that unless the order of extern
sion is made, either by the commission
or by the congress, the only alternative
would be the closing of large number
of stations on the Wabash road.
1t is pointed out in the petition that
in order to comply with the provisions
of the law the company would have to
employ an additional telegraph ope-
rator at each of 240 stations on this
line.
Need More Operators
THUS far the company says that it
has not been able to secure the serv-
ices of efficient and competent operat-
ors in such numbers as will enable II
to comply with the act.
Other railway companies have taken
substantially the same ground as the
Wabash. They maintain their absolute
inability to secure sufficient number
of competent telegraph operators to
man their wires as the law after the
4th of March requires.
1t is pointed out that in complying
with the law their only recourse Will
be TO the transfer of operators now IN
their employ to stations of greater inn
portance and larger traffic, thus prac-
tically closing many small stations
where now the operators perform the
duty of ticket agent, freight agent and
felegrapher The seriousness of the
situation presented by the railroads Is
realized fully by the interstate COM
,nerce commission, which will endea-or
MERGE commission. which will endeavor
before the laws become operative.
