General Phases of Tentative Plan.

Only the general phases of tentative
dissolution plan were considered yester-
day. Its principal feature. which the
Attorney General is understood to ap-
prove, is that the Southern Pacific turn
over to the Union Pacific the Central
Pacific line which runs from Ogden to
San Francisco. This line. the SGT .21o.OOo
common and S11.4G0,O00 preferred stock
of which is owned exclusively by the
Southern Pacific. would give the Union
Pacific an extension to the Pacific coast
By the tentative proposition, the trans
fer would be accomplished by the Union
Pacific surrendering to the Southern
Pacific part OF the s12G.G00,00o South
ern Pacific stock now held by the Union
Pacific and ordered relinquished by the
Supreme Court \ complication in this
connection is the fact that the Central
Pacific stock is now reserved as col
lateral for the Southern Pacific per
cent bonds.
If this exchange is finally agreed upon
an involved problem faces the nego-
tiators in reaching an agreement as to
the disposition. of the remainder of the
26,GAG,G@ of Southern Pacific stock hell
by the Union Pacific The Attorney
General maintains that no substantial
proportion can go to Union Pacific share
holders

yesterday after a conference of the At

mittee of the Southern Pacific appointed
to look after the roads interests in con-
nectiOn with the dissolution.
Because of the present large holdings
of Southern Pacific stock by the Union
Pacific, the board of directors of the
Southern Pacific is regarded largely
representative of the Union Pacific inter
ests. The Attorney General desires to
deal with men closely representing both
roads III order that he may have the
benefit of the points of view of each
party concerned.
