Proposed Senate inquiry into Louisville and Nashville railroads
Washington August 6. Senator Lea introduced a resolution for a Senate inquiry into the relations among the Louisville and Nashville, Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis, Nashville and Decatur, and the Lewisburg and Northern roads. The probe would determine control, joint action, and subscriptions to block competition, plus any political uses or campaign support tied to these lines. The aim is to prepare potential Justice Department action under the Sherman and trust laws and possibly affect the Western and Atlantic railroad’s status. The inquiry may span about sixty days and could influence Georgia’s lease and release of Western and Atlantic property.
