Lengthy Arguments.

Permission TO make this exchange
was sought by the railroad in a supple
mental plan Of dissolution filed today.
After hearing lengthy arguments on
both sides. the court took the matter
under adviscment. No iutimation was
given whether either or both of the
plans submitted, involving year s
delay. would be approved or whether
the court would follow the attorney
generals suggestion and attempt to
dispose of the stock itself through the
medium of receiver.
In substance the position taken by
the railroad and by the government
appeared to be as follows.
"We are anxious to comply with the
mandate of the supreme court and dis
pose Of our Southern Pacific holdings,
but we are unwilling 10 sell 1T for the
price we could get in the present state
Of the market Chairman Lovett o.
the Union Pacific board. told tho court,
Says Time Has Arrived.
"Thc supreme court ordered the
Union Pacific to relinquish its Southern
Pacific stock by July l." responded
Attorney General McReyrolds. That
time practically has arrived, and the
Union Pacific has not complied with
the mandate, The time has come for
this court to take the matter III hahd
and order something done, If loss is
incurred by the Immediate sale of the
stock it will be as the result of wrong
fnl action on the part Of the rail
road.
In his statement to the court Mr..
McReynolds declared that he had been
hopeful that the financial interests
would get together and arrange an ex.
change of stock, whereby the Union

mento, in return for it's Southern Pa

deal. he said, left the government
with no alternative but to institute an
expensive litigation against the South
