Government seeks dissolution of Central Pacific control
In Salt Lake City federal court the government moves to force Southern Pacific to relinquish control of Central Pacific under a ninety nine year lease, charging Sherman Antitrust Act and 1862 Pacific Railways Act violations. The suit claims a railroad cartel harms trade and favors the Sunset Route, with possible Union Pacific purchase of Central Pacific assets. Local business groups push for delay. California and Oregon oppose curtailing SP holdings. A separate LA report notes discovery of a prehistoric pigmy skeleton from La Brea nearing verification.
