ICC Clears Rail Battle Moves In New York Central Fight
The Interstate Commerce Commission refused to intervene in the proxy struggle for New York Central Railroad. The agency said intervention would not advance justice and gave no further reason. Central had asked the ICC to require Robert R. Young and Alleghany Corp. to file a formal application regarding their bid to gain control, noting the act forbids acquiring control of more than one carrier without consent. The petition warned that control of Central could also give unlawful control of Pittsburgh Lake Erie Railroad and the 4 Indiana Harbor Belt Line.
