Which Hurt 27.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The breaking .,
an equalizer bar of the forward trucL :.
the dining car, causing the truck to brest
down, resulted in train leaving m
rails on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad at Greens Farms
Conn, on November 10, according To =
report of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission, made public to-day.
In the accident twenty-seven passengers
were injured. The train was running six,v
miles an hour on straight and sound
track. At that point no speed restrictlons
were operative. The evidence taken ind
Gated that the airbrakes were in good
condition, having been tested only few
minutes before the accident.
Chief Inspector Belknap says in his Re.
pert that the breaking Of the equalizer
bar allowed the spring to come out ami
the truck to- break down and, by tha
equalizer bar wedging in the crossover
switch. threw the rails out OF align.
ment and allowed the wheels to drop OF
the rails. There was a defect in this
equalizer bar, but it was so slight thar Il
could not have been discovered by dill
gent inspection. 1t was impossible to de-.

in 1906, had no power to penalize railroads
for failure to furnish cars for interstate
shipments. In this connection the court
declared unconstitutional the Minnesota
reciprocal demurrage law. authorizing the
recovery by shippers of 81 day for every
day during which the railroad failed to
furnish car for the movement OF freight
The changes thus affected revolutionize
the practice in many states. The court
to-day pointed out that previous to the
passage Of the Carmack amendment the
court had upheld an Iowa statute under
which a contract limiting the damages
In case of loss had been annulled and
had also approved a Pennsylvania case
in which 1t was held that the public pol
icy of the state was opposed to such
contracts.
AS a result Of the passage or the Car
mack amendment, however. the court
speaking through Justice Lurton. held
that Congress had manifested its inten-
ton to deal with the subject of carriers
liability for interstate shipments, and that
being the case, the state laws must give
way. Consequently, its decision at once
annulled the Kentucky and Nebraska law
holding such contracts void.

10 choose the governing board of di-
rcctors. After such distribution as Is now
proposed the stockholders OF the Union

troll not only the Union Pacific Company,
but the Southern Pacific Company as
well
Before the decision OF the United States
supreme Court on the Union Pacific APP
plication TO dispose OF its Southern Pa
clnc stock exclusively TO Union Pacific
stockholders was announced I'm Wall
Street the stock was particularly strong.
due TO the belief that the decision would
be favorable. Then the rllmor came that
the ruling would be adverse On this
news Union Pacific dropped from 1924 to
1911 between sales. The price then raj
lied TO 1917, only to break TO 1881 on the
announcement OF the decision, and finally
closed at this figure Southern Pacific
opened at JOG and closed at 1914.
After the close OF the market Wall
Street took time TO reflect somewhat and
reached the conclusion that the ultimate
dissolution plan Is now more confused
! than ever There appears TO be no clew
now az to what plan the Union Pacific
will follow. other than the suggestion OF
| Attorney General Wickersham that Union
Pacihcs Sl26, 600 Southern Pacific stock
might be offered TO both Union and
Southern Pacific stockholders. Moreover.
! the courts decision makes II practically
certain that in any Offering OF the South
ern Pacific stock for subscription the pre-
| ferred shareholders of Union Pacific will
| be included.
An Offering OF the Southern Pacific
stock held by the Union Pacific on equal
| basis TO the common and preferred stock
| holders OF the two roads would give a
holder OF a share OF Union Pacific COM
mon or preferred. or OF Southern Pacific
stock. the right to subscribe to 1921 per
cent OF a share of Southern Pacific stock,
with present market value of about $25.
| SO far as the Union Pacific company is
concerned the courts decision makes
little difference IN the ultimate result. In
compelling the management of the COM
pany 10 include Southern Pacific stock
| holders In any plan for distribution OF
| Southern Pacific stock the court, how
ever. has taken from the Southern Pacific
stockholders the equity in lands and sur
plus attached to the 100000 OF Southern
Pacific stock for which the latter com
pany's stockholders may subscribe.

PR0GRESSIVE'S TRUST IDEA
Senator, Bristow Offers Indus
trial Commission Bill.
tFrom Tho Tribune Burcau. |

Washington, Jan. 6.-The first Of the ma
tIonal measures proposed by the Progress
sive party was introduced in the Senate
to-day by Senator Bristow, in accordance
with the general purpose OF the party TO
formulate a legislative programme. IT is
q bill to create an industrial commission
OF seven members, who are to exercise
the same Jurisdiction over industrial cor
porations whose gross receipts exceed S,-
00o,0C a year as the Interstate Commerce
Commission exercises over railroads. The
commission is also to act as receiver for
corporations which violate the antitrust
law. There are other radical features the
wisdom OF which Senator Bristow assert
ed he was ready TO prove
The measure did not prove half so radi-
cal as some persons had expected. nor did
II startle the more conservative states
men, In view of the fact that the opin-
ions OF the Supreme Court In the cotton
corner and Union Pacific merger cases
accentuated the effectiveness Of the pres
ent antitrust law and made 1t for the
time being, at least, the centre Of atten-
ton
Senators frankly admitted that few
more decisions would put a quietus on
the talk Of drastic regulation of trusts,
and the measure presented by the Sena-
tor from Kansas proved an anti-climax.
The bill gives the commission authority
to investigate the financial conditions Of
all corporations coming within Its scope
and requires them to bring their indebt-
edness down to not exceeding 10 per cent
more than fair and reasonable valuation
Of the property on hand.

states had ceased to have authority to
annul contracts between railroads and
shippers limiting the liability for the loss
OF interstate shipments.

VICTORY FOR GOVERN MENT
Proposed Dissolution, Supreme
Bench Decides, Would Not
Comply with Sher-

Iron The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan. Gas an addendum
to Its opinion ordering the dissolution OF
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
merger the Supreme Court OF the United
States awarded the government fur
Their victory to-day by rejecting the plan
of dissolution proposed by the railroads.
The court held that the disposition OF
the entire stock holding of the Union Pa
cifc Company I'm the Southern Pacific by
transfer to the stockholders OF the Union
Pacific Company would not so effectually
end the combination as to comply with
the decree made by the court.
In issuing its order the Supreme Court
did not set forth definitely methods to be
pursued in the dissolution OF trusts or
combinations held to be I'm violation OF
the Sherman law. but took the broad
ground that the main purpose OF the act
Is 10 forbid combinations and conspira-
cies in undue restraint of trade or tend

The dissolutions OF the Northern securi-
ties Company and the Standard Oil Com
pany were cited as precedents for to-
days order or the latter case the court
stated that the distribution of shares and
stocks of the subsidiary companies among
the shareholders Of the Standard oil Com
pany Of New Jersey was 10 end the COM
bination which had been decreed TO be in
violation OF the law. The same purpose,
Il held. would not be achieved by the
plan proposed by the Union Pacific for
the distribution of the Southern Pacific
stock.
Justice Day announced the conclusions
of the court. as he delivered the opinion
on December ? holding that the ownership
Of the Southern Pacific stock by the Union
Pacific Company was n violation Of the
sherman antitrust law. Government Of
ncials who heard Justice Day were con
WINGED that a complete end Of the merger
must be agreed upon and that any pa
per" dissolution would be rejected.

Court OF Utah. In which the suit orisi-
mated. for that court to enforce the de-
cree OF dissolution directed by the Su-
prcme Court.
The railroad attorneys and Attorney
General Wickcrsham are expected TO re-
sumo negotiations at once for the ending
OF the merger. and some persons hero
think the railroad attorneys will assent
TO the governments proposal to allow the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific stock
holders TO share in the purchase OF the
stock. Such a plan would not require the
stock 10 be dumped on the open market.
