The Supreme Court ruled the 1908 agreement where Delaware, Lackawanna and Western sold seven million tons of anthracite to its own coal company violated the commodities clause and Sherman act. It directed a New Jersey court to bar transport under the contract and left open a new suit to test the railroad’s coal purchases. Justice Lamar stressed the need to disentangle ownership and control to preserve buyer freedom and competition.

The court refused to forfeit lands for noncompliance and denied settlers' applications for entry or trust declarations. The ruling preserves government rights for future actions on lands already sold.
