Senator Gooding, republican oe
Idaho, declared the dissolution al

hopes of the people Of my state
for sufficient and competitive rail-
road service while Judge Robert
Lovett, chairman Of the board OF
the Union Pacific system. insisted
that interests of the entire country
required their unmerging.
The Southern Pacific, with its
own southern trans-continental
route, would always discriminate
against the Central Pacific's north
ern line in disposing Of traffic,
Judge Lovett asserted. The Union
Pacific, he declared, had entered
the case because the development
of the northern line was vital TO Il,
as well as to all trans-continental
shippers.
He likewise characterized the
Southern Pacific application 20 re-
tain control of the Central system
as an important recall Of supreme
court decisions" and an unptece-
dented attempt to nullify a final
judicial ruling.

the ground that Idaho has 20 en-
dure a complete monopoly Oc
transportation in the hands of the
Union Pacific and its subsidiaries.
Freight rates were the highest IN
the country in consequence, he as
serted, and the only hope left to
shippers in the territory was that
the Southern-Central system some
day might build through and com
pete with the Union Pacific. Tho
Central Pacific, II separated, he de-
ciared, would be thrown into asso-
citation with the Union Pacific.
Traffic associations in the middle
west, led by the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce, also put on sew
eral technical witnesses today TO
support their view that the su-
preme courts separation decree
should he put into effect against

time, the minor leaguers concluded
their annual meeting here tonight

tyention ueNt year AT tire sarre time

Of n suggestion by Commissioner

leaguers of his desire to have al
baseball leaders together in the
, same city at one time.
If the major leaguers do not h0ld
a Joint session, however, the minors
will meet in Nashville. Tenn" for
next falls convention. The consti-
tuition Of the association provides
that the annual meeting shall be
held in a city belonging to a minor
league, but this was amended so
that the meeting might be held in
Chicago.
The national association adopted
resolution condemninE the plan of
the majors to increase the player
limit from forty to fifty The 80
player limit would permit each big
league club to have at least twenty
five men in the minor leagues un-
der option. This, tho minor lcaguers
contended, would practically give
the majors control of the player
market. The major leagues, un-
dor the major-minor agreement.
which has five years to run, are
allowed to have eight players in the
minors under option.
With the departure OF the major
leaguers today, all talk of further
