HARRIMAN MERGER HEARING

Testimony Seems to Prove Contention of the Government. Pittsburg. Pa., Jan. 29.—The taking of testimony in the Pittsburg hearing of the government’s suit to dissolve the alleged $500,000,000 Harriman railroad merger has been concluded. The next bearing will be held in Cincinnati on Feb. 9. The testimony seemed to bear out the government s contention that competition between the Southern Pacific railroad and the Union Pacific is not as keen now as it was prior to 1901.
