Supreme court denies Minnesota bid to curb railroad merger
The U S Supreme Court denies Minnesota leave to file a bill challenging the merger of Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads on lack of jurisdiction. Justice Shiras explains that indispensable parties are outside the court’s reach and public interests must be represented, not just stockholders. Minnesota officials indicate continued state action under Sherman act guidance.
