COURT GIVEN
PLAN TO CUT
UP A MERCER

ST. Paul. Mimi, June 3e.-The plan
for sdissolving the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific merger which At
torney General McReynolds, with the
approval of President Wilson, has
agreed upon with officials of the rail
road, was submitted to the federal
court here today. 1t allows until Jan
/, 1916, for the complete dissolution
of the combination adjudged Illegal
by the supreme court
All previous plans are superseded
by this latest one, which proposed that
the Union Pacific shall exchange $685.
100000 of its $126,OOO,000 holdings in
the Southern Pacific for the Pennsyl-
vania railroads entire holdings in the
Baltimore & Ohio-virtually an equal
amount-and that the remaining $685.
100000 shall be sold 10 the general
| public through trust company.
! No present stockholders in the
! Union Pacific continuing as such might
/ buy any of the Southern Pacific stock
! so sold and each purchaser would be
/ obliged to make affidavit that he was
| not acting in concert or agreement
with anyone else buying Southern Pa.
cific to secure a new control for the
Union Pacific.
The transaction would begin on
Nov. l, 1913, and if not complete by
Jan. l, 1916, the court would direct the
disposition of any Southern Pacific
stock remaining untaken.
The court will be asked, before zap
proving plan, to allow time for any
one, whether an interested party OF
not, to interpose objections.
The government expressly stiprc!ates
| that should any illegal conditions arise
from the exchange of Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio stock either un
der existing law or future legislation
or future Interpretation by the courts
Of present statutes, the government
would have the right freely to assail'
the arrangement.

net discussion and conferences witt

exchange of Pennsylvania and Balti
