APPROVAL OF PLAN
TO BREAK MERGER
Dissolution of Union Pacific
Combine Is Sanctioned by
President Wilson.

President Wilson last night approved
the plan negotiated by Attorney General
McReynolds and the railroad attorneys
for the dissolution of the Union Pacific
merger under the Sherman antitrust law,
as directed by the Supreme Court of the
United States and so as to avoid a re-
ceivership for the great combination.
q. Carroll Todd, special assistant to the
Attorney General, left last night for ST.
Paul to represent the government and to
announce its approval of the proposal
when it is presented to the United States
court there Monday. He was accom-
panied by II. w. Clarke of counsel for
the railroad, who will submit the plan to
the court.
The government will qualify it's approv-
al of the plan. it is said. by asking the
court to grant a reasonable time within
which the Attorney General may make
objections to the proposal if further
study develops it will not meet the re-
Guirements of the Sherman law in all
aspects.
This latest attempt of the many made
to dismember the. combination provides
for the disposition of the entire S126-
$4,000 of Southern Pacific stock held by
the Union Pacific.
Terms Specified in Plan.
While no official announcement has been
made, it is understood the plan, as one
step. provides for the exchange of s3s,-
292, 400 of Southern Pacific stock for the
Pennsylvania holdings in the Baltimore
and Ohio, which are approximately of the
same value. The remaining SSS, 600 of
Southern Pacific will be disfranchised and
placed in the hands of a trust company
as trustees. Against this stock will be
issued certificates, with no voting power
to the shareholders of the Union Pacific
The plan then provides for the sale of
these certificates within a definite time
and their exchange for the stock under
such conditions. ii is declared. that it will
be impossible for the stockholders of the
Union Pacific to acquire a substantial
proportion of Southern Pacific stock
This new plan is somewhat similar to
one of the proposals submitted to the
court a month ago. 1t is said however
to be more definite in form and surround
ed by greater safeguards to prevent the
Southern Pacific stock from going to
Union Pacific shareholders or remaining
under the control of the Union Pacific
railroad for an unlimited time.
Due in Court July l.
Under the terms of the Supreme Court s
mandate the plan must be presented to
the judges of the United States court for
the eighth circuit by July I. although
there is no limit of time within which the
court must enter decree of dissolution
II the court approves the plan the al
tentative of receivership will be avoided
