Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill looked about and finally fixed upon D £ the rich, the prosperous Burlington system. But there were two * obstacles in the way of acquiring this system. The first was that if the Northern Pacific had it the Union Pavifie would be threatened with ruin. For the Burlington system almost paralleled the Union Pacific svstem in several great States, and if the Northern Pavitic owned it all the freight of that region in- tended for the Pacific coast would be diverted from the Union Pacitie to the Northern Pacitic. That is, ownership of the Burling- ton by the Northern Pacifie would mean the loss by the Union Pacific of perhaps the larger part of its most protitable business, The second obstacle was the way in which the Burlington was Tt was not controlled by a little group of capitalists or by eculators.

And there they are not called by any such high- sounding name as “operation, HUNORY. The Burlington holders murmured; but they were feeble and seattered and had been betrayed by the leaders whom they had trusted and depended upon for years. But the Union Pacific crowd was not feeble or defenseless. It boldly attacked the bandits with bandit tactics. It “bought into” Northern Pacific with a view to get- ting control or at least a voice in the management. The two rival bands are still fighting. But whichever way the battle goes, the unhappy Burlington holders are to be despoiled. ee eee eee Tt is not necessary to draw the moral of this moral tale, is it?
