Central Pacific to be Divorced From Southern Pacific
Washington May 28 Attorney General McReynolds will sue to dissolve the Union Pacific merger by forcing the Central Pacific to be divested from the Southern Pacific. The move stems from the Central Pacific dispute and may hinge on future litigation over Southern Pacific stock valued at 124 million dollars. The decision aligns with Wickersham’s prior threat of an anti trust action if the subsidiary is not disposed of.
