Supreme Court curbs rail merger in Northern Securities case
The Supreme Court ruled that combinations restraining intercity rail competition may be illegal even if not strictly forming a holding company, reversing lower court decisions. It upheld the government’s view that dominant ownership to suppress rivals can violate the Sherman act, setting a precedent for future railroad consolidations. Justice Day noted the decision targets anticompetitive control, while Attorney General Wickersham framed it within existing trust-busting principles.
