Minnesota versus the railroad trust at Supreme Court
The Minnesota suit against the Northern Securities Company, the railroad trust, begins in the United States Supreme Court. The case questions whether railroads may combine to fix rates and share earnings, echoing a six year old precedent that halted a similar traffic contract between Northern Pacific and Great Northern. The decision will test monopoly limits, public competition, and the potential impact on economic development in the South and broader U.S. rail policy.
