STOCK 111 SOUTHERN PACIFIC Acquisition by Union Pacific Constitut ed Unlawful Combination in Vio lation of Sherman Act What Decree Means Washington, Dec. 2.The great Harriman merger, created when the Union Pacific Railroad Company bought 46 per cent. 'of the stock of the Southern Pacific Railway system, was split asunder today by the Su preme Court of the . iJnited States as a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Then with the--end of the mer ger before it, the court sent forth its portentious declaration that "White the law may not be able to enforce competition, it can reach combinations which render competition impractica ble." Justice Day announced the unani mous opinion of the court.'. Judge Vandeventer took no part in the con sideration of the case today. His per sonal finding as a judge of the Utah Circuit Court, that the two roads were not competitors and therefore no vio lation of the law had resulted from the purchase, was reversed and an nulled. Instead of foreign reasoning of Justice Vandeventer and Judges Sanborn and Adams, the court in sub stance approvedvthe minority holding of Judge Hook that the roads were competitors and that it was just as much a violation of the law for one road to -buy the controlling stock of a competitors as it was for a holding company, as in the Northern Securi ties case, to buy the controlling stock of two j&iwBUSmitaBl!&. - i The CirCuTT'CoTffrTor the District of Utah was directed to supervise the separation of the two roads after hear ings and in emergency to appoint a receiver to sell the stock. The Union i'p.t ific, if the Circuit Court sees prop er, may retain eontrol of the old Cen tral Pacific line from Ogden to San Francisco. Therdecision of the lower court that there- was no violation of the law in the attempt to acquire the Northern Pacific stock and the stock of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, afterwards aban doned and a Certain interest' in the an Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company,! was allowed to stand. . .- U. It is the general belief that the ap plication of the decision to the rail road situation of Jthe . country will be widespread, pla6ing' "a power of the precedent in the .hands of the Attor ney General to prevent consolidation of competing roads. " Department of Justice officials, how ever, were not prepared tonight to discuss the full effectbf the decision. Attorney General Wftkersham, elat ed over the-outcome Issued a state; :r;ent in which he simply declared the case extended principals of the North ern Securities case.4iiid re-affirmed those of the Standard Oil and St. l.ouis Terminal Association cases. Justice Day, in his first opinion, dealt with the lawvfn'tthe case. He -poke of the. Standarj&Oil and Tobac co cases of last year as the final au thority on the 'interpretation of the Sherman anti-trust act, and then pro ceeded to apply ,to tMs merger the principles discuss1 edn those decisions. "We take it, therefore," he said, in this connection, "thitit may be re garded as settled, that a combination winch places railroads ;engaged in in terstate cominefce in'such relation as 'o create a sirigle dominating control m one corporation whereby natural and existing competition' in inter-State ommerce is unduly restricted or sup pressed, is within the condemnation n? the act. While the law may not be able to enforce competition, it can reach combinations which rendered f oin petition impracticable. It is the scdpe of such combina tions and their power to suppress and fine competition or create monopoly which determines the applicability of 'l.e act." Justice Day declared. Justice Day replied to the argument ant a majority, of the stock ha'd not been participated and therefore no 'ontrol had been acquired. He. quot iJd Mr. Harriman, saying that'a com pact, united ownership of 46 per cent. :' a big corporation was sufficient to 'ontrol it. Washington, December 2. The Su preme Court today in an opinion, an nounced by Justice Day, held that the I'nion Pacific Railroad Company, by 'ho acquisition of stock in the South" ' i n Pacific, had,, effected a combina i'on in violation of the Sherman antir 'rust law.

London, Dec. 3. The Imperial Ger man cnanceiior s statement on tne European situation, together with that of Herr "Von Kiderlen-Waechter, the German foreign secretary, confirming that Great Britain and Germany are co-operating amicably in favor of peace, jtp, .regarded in the European capitals as reassuring and as calculat ed to have an effect when the peace delegates Gome to discuss terms. Dr. VonBethmann-Holiweg's declar ation of the solidarity of the Triple Alliance, which it is reported has just been renewed,' -and his announcement of Germany's determination to pursue a-poilcy upholding Turkey in an eco tomic sensa, is likely to influence the delegates of all the countries concern ed, to discuss tt ace conditions in the spirit of moderation already shown in the armistice negotiations. Although there is no change m he actual situation tonight, some misgiv ing is beginning to be expressed with regard to the attitude of Greece. Va none- reasons are assigned for ureek reluctance to sign the armistice. Ac cording to the. '.Greek minister at Pa ris.

The question of the Bulgarians- us ing the Adrianople railway, it is as serted, probably will be dropped, as will also the Turkish counter .demand for permission to send food to the gar lison there. The Adrianople railway is now less indispensable to Bulgaria, because .great supplies of wheat have been- discovered at Dedeaghatch with a mill' capacity of many tons of flour daiiy which can be sent by railway di iect to the troops at Tchatalja. The third clause of the protcol retetin to the blockade of ports on the Black sea and Aegean sea, is not considered vi tally important and probably will not give rise to contention. if any further delay occurs in the completion of the armistice it fs felt here that the blame will rest with the Greeks, who for some inscrutable reason' wish to continue the' war. Bul garia, 'JServia and Montenegro favor peace. Turkey also is believed to be actuated by the same desire. According to reliable information re ceived Here,. Great Britain and Russia, as well as Gernfany, have counseled Turkey to tnake peace, and it is ex pected negotiations to this, end will be gin. soon at Sofia.

Senator Ov erman said today that the thousands of letters which he is receiving from North Carolinians, asking for posi tions, does not worry him in the least. I am glad to receive these letters, said the Senator today. "I only wish I could give them all good places. Un fortunately there will be only a few positions, not near enough to go around." Senator Simmons said today he had been invited to make a speech before the Rivers and Harbors Congress, but he had declined, because, when he re ceived the invitation he was sick at Statesville. Congressman Hannibal L. Godwin today gave out the following state ment: "Major E. J. Hale, of Fayette Ville, has'autliorized me to state that his friends will no longer press him ror a position in the cabinet of Presf dent-elect Woodrow yfJvWilsan - Mafyr Hale" wfll favor- the 'ap pointment of Mr. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, as will all of of his friends. At his own initiative Congressman Godwin stated with this announce ment from Major Hale, the way is now open for the North Carolina dele gation, as a body, to endorse Josephus Daniels. This will be done, in writ ing, at a" meeting of the delegation in a few days. The delegation will urge the- appointment of Major Hale,, as ambassador to either France or Mexi co. Both Senators Overman and Sim mons and the entire State delegation, with the exception of Representative Claude Kitchin, .answered to their names when Congress met at noon to day.
