SOUTHERN PACIFIC
TOELECT BOARD TO
DISSOLVE MERGER
Directors to Act With Wick
ersham in Accordance
With the Supreme
Court Decree

Washington, January 11.-Steps will be
taken Immediately by the Southern Pa
cific to elect a board of directors distinct
ly allied with that road to represent it in
the negotiations with Attorney General
Wickersham for the formulation of a plan
dissolving the Union Pacifc-Southern Pa
cific merger in accordance with the decree
of the supreme court. This fact developed
today after a conference of the Attorney
General and the protective committee of
the Southern Pacific appointed to look
after the roads interests in connection
with the dissolution.
Because of the present large holdings
of Southern Pacific stock by the Union
Pacific. the board of directors of .Le
Southern Pacific regarded as largely rep
resentative of the Union Pacific interests.
The Attorney General desires to deal
with men closely representing both roads
that he may have the benefit of the points
of view of each party concerned

ney General, james N Wallace, Albert

Attitude on Pottery

In this connection considerable favor
able comment is heard in Washington
among the representatives and senators
over the action of Mr.. Underwood in in
timating to the representatives of the pot
terry and china interests that there will be
no change in the tariff on the products
of these industries. 1t was made clear to
the committee, 1t is stated, that the vast
difference between the wages of foreign
and American workers in those indus
tries warranted the imposition of the
present tariff.
Mr.. Underwood acknowledged the show
ing of facts as presented by the men who
appeared before the committee was suf-
hcient and intimated there would be no
change. Mr.. Underwood said that so far
as he was concerned that the governing
principle" of the democratic revision
would be based on the idea of competi-
ton. He did not ampify the idea, but left
his hearers to think it over.
Satisfaction over this attitude of Mr.
Underwood was expressed both among
democrats and republicans. The protec-
tionists were pleased of course, to save
any brand from the burning. The demo-
Gratis were satisfied because they con-
strued the democratic leaders attitude
as being positive refutation of the dismal
prophecies uttered by their opponents
thar the democratic party is intent upon
destroying American Industries.

on colonial legislation, which, in turn,
had been based on ancient English
precedent. There is very little UNI

Government Owned
Railways in Alaska

one OF the most significant features
OF President wilson's message to con-
sress was his accommodation for the
government construction, ownership
and operation of railroads in Alaska
After characterizing that territory as
rich store house that should be un-
locked. the president said:
- One key to it IS system of rail-
ways. These the government should
itself build and administer. and the
ports and terminals it should itself
control. in the interest of all who wish
to use them for the service and devel-
plo
But the construction of railways is
only. the first steps only tf1rlIsting
the key to the storehouse and throw
inb back the lock and opening the door.
How tempting resources Of the country
are to be exploited is another matter,
I to which shall take the liberty OF
from time to time calling your atten-
worked out by we'll considered stages.
not upon theory. but upon lines of
: practical expediency. Tt is part of our
general problem of conservation. We
have a freer hand in working out the
problem in Alaska than in the states
of the union, and yet the principle and
object are the same wherever we touch
1t. We must use the resources of the
country, not lock them up.
Now what rank heresy is all this !?
To think that president of the United
States should SO far forget the special
interest influence which has always
dominated that ONCE as to actually
advocate the public control. of ports
and terminals and the public owner
ship OF railroads..
Does not woodrow Wilson know that
the success of such .. policy in Alaska
would lead eventually to the adoption
Of the same policy for the country at
large? And if the government is to
control the ports and terminals. how
can the L. & \. railroad and others
like it continue their present unfair
and ruinous discrimination against
shippers at Pensacola and elsewhere?
< More than THAT; what viii railroad
Of footing both the stockholders and
the public do for future loot? The
recent failure Of the great Frisco sys-
tenn and the scandals attending it fur

railroads. Does President Wilson want
TO break up that order of things? Has
he no regard for the sacredness of
vested capital or the rights of corpora

no feeling for the people of My Dear
