East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-22

Washington, May 22.-The sale of
stock by supposed "insiders" of the
Union Pacific and their reinvestment
in Southern Pacific stock during the
last few days is thought to be the re-
suit of the fear that the government
will be successful in their attempt to
dissolve the union ana Southern Pa
cific merger.
The possibility of the government
securing a court order regulating tho
voting of the Southern Pacific shares
now held by the Union Pacific, which
would throw the control to tile re-
naming shares, makes it necessary
for the interests in control 10 have
their hands on a sufficient number of
shares 10 assure their supremacy.
1t is believed that the Union Pacific
people are holding back shares enough
to insure their control, and turning
the rest into the Southern Pacific.

japanese employed on the Kahuka
plantation struck today, making the

explains why Leupp was not heard

A quarrel ensued, one word bringing

men kept advancing toward him, de-
spite repeated warnings, with Shu-

Dixon eight times not to come any

kept backing away. He says this
