Can't Sell Grand Army Return Tickets Enjoined by Court
Justice Hagner issues a sweeping ruling banning thirty three local brokers from selling Grand Army special excursion tickets issued by the Pennsylvania Southern Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. The court finds the tickets void for anyone but the original purchaser and confirms the roads argument that the contract is binding and fraudulent if violated. The ruling also holds the anti trust claim unsupported since the joint agency did not fix rates.
