New York, Feb. 15-The hearings in the
government suit for the dissolution of the
late Z. II. Harrimans merger of the
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and other
railroad properties was resumed to-day
before Examiner Sylvester 0. Williams.
The governments action is a suit in
equity. It was instituted on January q.
1909 by the then Attorney General Bona
parte, and was based upon the report of
the Interstate Commerce Commission of
July L, 1907. It is the contention of the
government that the merger is in re-
straint of trade and violation of the
Sherman act, since it prevents COMPETE
ton between lines which, If under sepa-
rate control, would be in competition. II
is charged that such a monopoly Of the
transportation business IN the West has
existed since 1901.
Great masses of testimony, by which
the government seeks TO prove its con-
tention, have already been taken. and
the query will end early in April
Traffic Manager Qui1zcd.
To-day's proceedings were taken up
with the examination Of John c. Stubbs,
the general traffic manager of the Harri-
man lines. It was conducted by p. f.
Dunn. of San Francisco, and n. H.
LOOMS, of Omaha, counsel for the de-
fendant roads. Frank B. Kellogg and
c 4. Severance. who handled the prose-
cution of the Standard Oil case. have
charge Of the governments interests.
Mr.. Stubs went into the conditions of
tp7s ~
vent of al-rau routes from coast to
coast. He told of the old methods of
transporting goods from the-East 10 Calf
fornia by way of Panama and Cape Horn.
and said that the shippers became so
welded TO those routes that when the
railroads came 10 compete for the trade
they had 10 evolve a system by which
merchants who guaranteed the railroads
ali OF their business for a year received
advantageous rates.
The witness was cross-examined at
length BY Mr.. Severance concerning the
amount Of business carried by the rail
and water route as against the all-ran.
Position of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Stubbs said that the success. Of the
Sunset Line stimulated the other lines
east OF Chicago to better efforts. The
Union Pacific, he thought, did not need a
stimuiant at that time. although il was
handicapped by The indifference of its
Eastern agents"
The witness. asked about rate making.
testified that rates for the transcontinen-
tai lines had been fixed in conference for
the last sixteen years. The general policy.
he said, was to make the rates to all
points on the Pacific Coast uniform.
Mr.. Severance asked Mr.. Stubbs if #
was not true that at present competition
Is reduced 10 service and soliciting busi-
ness. The witness admitted that these
were-veTy large factors. but that he would
not care TO say that they were the only
elements entering into modern railroad
competition.
The days session closed with Mr. Stubbs
still on the stand. He was asked by his
counsel if it were not true that the bulk
of cotton west-bound moved through Og-
den. He was not certain on this point
but promised to look the facts up and 10
answer when the hearing is continued
tomorrow.

A great many people are ready to
rejoice with President Taft now that
he has found an issue for his party to
rally about in the coming campaign.
Socialism is to be the rallying CRY
from now on. But the socialists are
as far from Mr.. Taft on most matters
as the east is from the west any way
and it is hardly probable that he can
persuade the democratic party to dis
band yet awhile.
