JUDGE HOOK C0MBATS
VIEWS Of COLLEAGUES
Says Decision on Hartman
Merger Leaves Little of the
Act of Congress.

The governments petition to enJoin the
Union Pacific Railroad Company from
continuing to control the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company was today dis
missed by the United States circuit court
of the eighth district. Judge Elmer B.
Adams wrote the majority opinion. which
was concurred in by Judge sanborn and
tice) Van DeVanter. Judge William c.
tice Van Devanter. Fudge William c.
Hook wrote a dissenting opinion.
Judge Adams prefaced his opinion With
the statement that the government must
prove that the restraint in trade alleged
in the bill must be substantial In char
acter as the direct and immediate effect
of the combination. The government.
he said, failed to prove this.
He found that tho suppression Of com.
petition between the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific was 80 infinitesimal
that is was unimportant. In connection
with this feature Of the decision Judge
Adams cited the recent Standard on deci-
sion in which the rule OF reason was
first laid down by the United States SUI
preme Court.
Judge Hooks Dissent.
Judge Hook says in his dissenting
opinion that the decision OF the court was
on two main grounds:
/. That the combination Of competitive
traffic of the two systems was not . sub
stantiaI percentage OF the total trafnc,
and.
2. That trade was not restrained by the
combination. because the Union Pacific
was an intermediate through route and
depended for competitive traffic on con-
Meeting carriers. which. unaided, could
not make a through joint rate
This decision 30 greatly narrows the
act Of Congress that very little IL left OF
it when applied to railroads." said Judge
Hook
The opinion states that under one or
both of these tests the Union Pacific
could probably have lawfully purchased
control of all the great railroad systems
in the United States
