Salt Lake, Utah. Feb, ll.-United
Sttaes District Attorney w, w. Ray
filed suit in the United States court
here today to divorce the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroasd.
The government holds that the South.
ern Pacific's control Of the Central Pa.
cific is a combination in restraint Of
trade. 1t charges that, through leased
and direct control Of the Central Pa.
cific the Southern Pacific is enabled
to discriminate against the Union Pa.
cific and Central Pacific, thus sitting
competition in the transcontinental
transportation Of freight and passeng-
ars.
BY allowing the Central Pacific
equipment to deteriorate, the govern.
ment alleges the Southern Pacific is en-.
abled to force the bulk of the transcon.
tinental traffic to It's own direct line,
the Sunset Route. The Central Pacific,
the complaint alleges, is unable to en-.
ter into traffic agreements with the
Union Pacific and connecting lines, and
IL recites that this has practically closed
the Ogden gateway to transcontnental
business.
