Knox argues merger harms interstate commerce in Northern Securities case
In Washington on December 15 Attorney General Knox argued before the U S Supreme Court that the merger of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways destroys competition and restrains interstate commerce. He outlined four great questions settled by the court, asserting Congress can forbid such combinations and that intent need not be shown when restraint is the necessary effect. George B Young defended for Northern Securities, arguing the case concerns ownership and property, not railroad operation, and urged uniform federal regulation.
