Plan Ten Unmerge Ready for Court Approval
President Wilson approves the plan negotiated by Attorney General McReynolds and railroad attorneys to dissolve the Union Pacific merger under the Sherman law to avoid receivership. The plan disposes of Southern Pacific stock valued at 126 million dollars, exchanges most for Baltimore & Ohio holdings, and places remaining stock in a trust with nonvoting certificates to prevent control by Union Pacific shareholders. Court presentation is due by July 1 in the Eighth Circuit with potential objections to be filed if further study shows Sherman act conflicts.
