Wickersham Sees Doom for Coal Trust in Court Ruling
Justice Lurton's ruling upholds the lower court on most points and declares the Temple Iron Company and the 65 per cent contracts unlawful. The decision targets six railroads and their coal companies, including the Philadelphia and Reading and the Erie, for monopolistic control of anthracite output and prices. It notes the long, concerted effort to restrain competition and signals potential relief to the public from the coal trust breakup.
