Court has case lawy ers plea presented in railway case

New York November 14 after seven hours of argument in the United States circuit court Judge Hough said he would not render a decision on the petition of the Interstate Commerce Commission to compel I Harriman to answer questions from the commission. Senator Spooner for Harriman and Milburn spoke for the government and defense. The arguments covered privileges and powers of the commission as well as Harriman profits and union pacific dividend details. The proceeding was conducted by U S District Attorney Stimson and Frank R Bhellogg for the commission.

Harriman stock deals before Judge Hough

Counsel for Harriman argued the Union Pacific stock purchases followed executive committee recommendations and board approval, with stockholders ratifying. Milburn put the profit at not less than 32 million after losses from a price slump, saying this refutes claims the deals harmed interstate railroads. Kellogg countered that market values were Wall Street quotas tied to the alleged pool. The exchange touched on credit, usefulness of roads, and the commission’s right to inquire into railroad funds. Judge Hough then asked questions.

Milburn Asks What Are You Going to Do About Me

Judge Hough pressed both sides as Milburn asked what action would be taken. Kellogg said the inquiry sought to test Harriman’s stock dealings and the development of the Great Western territory, focusing on whether Harriman profited from stock sales to a company where he was a director. The exchange touched on railroad competition and interstate commerce.
