DISSOLUTION PLANS WAIT
Attitude of New Attorney Gen.

With the installation Of a new Attor-

modified plan which is in process of for.
nation by Union Pacific directors to meet
the objections OF the California Rail-
road Commission. No one has been able
10 ascertain the attitude Of Mr.. McReyn-
olds on the present complex situation. and
for this reason an early settlement Of the
dissolution question is not looked for in
Wall Street.
AS far as the Southern Pacific is con-
ccrned, the directors feel that the Union
Pacific must make the next move In the
way OF Offering new plan. After a
meeting OF the Union Pacific executive
committee yesterday a member said:
There is only one positive point in the
Union Pacific dissolution situation to-day
Neither the Union Pacific nor the South
ern Pacific will ever agree to the re-
quirements of the California commission
The Western Pacific will certainly not
obtain for little or nothing privileges
over Southern Pacific lines in California
FOR which the Union Pacific was ready t.
pay high price. There are certain feat
