RAILWAY MEN MEET
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Negotiations to Dissolve the
Union fic-Southern Pa
cific Merger Under Way.

WASHINGTON. Jan. e.-Eegotiations
TO agree upon the terms OF decree dis
solving the Union Pacific Southern Pa
chc railroad merger in accordance with
the mandate OF The supreme court OF the
United States were resumed here today
by Attorney General Wickersham and
representatives OF tho Union Pacific.
The government 1t s generally be-
licyed here, IN view OF the supreme
courts ruling on Monday, will not be
satisfied now with the plan formerly pro-
posed b. Attorney General 7vickcrsham
by which the Union Paciiic's holdings OF
Southern Pacific stock would be distrib-
uted or sold pro rata to the stockhold-
crs OF both the Union Pacific and South
ein Pacific roads, exclusive of the de-
PENDANTS in the suit, Although the court
had the attorney generals suggestion
before it, it. neither approved or dlsap-
proved II. merely holding that the Union
Pacific's proposition TO distribute the
Southern Pacific holdings exclusively
a among the shareholders OF the Union Pa
cflc would not be an effective dissolu-
ton under the Sherman antitrust law.
With the courts ruling before them,
Robert S. Lorett chairman OF the Union
Ea aci0c's board; Frank A, FanderliD and
Mortimer Shift studied the situation with
the attorney general. All parties TO the
conference were reticent as to plans dis
cussed and the probable outcome.
