Attorney General Wright believes a merger of Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line could violate Georgia law and be enjoined. He cites the Jacobs decision and U.S. Supreme Court cautions on restraints of trade, arguing public welfare must be shown but may justify injunctions to prevent a railroad consolidation. Governor Candler has not released Wright's opinion.
