Against Railway Pools in Equity Inquiries
Attorney General Knox plans to file a bill to determine if railways violating interstate commerce laws can be restrained by injunction. The move aims to curb rate cutting rebates and break up freight and passenger rate pools, with proceedings possibly against several lines. The effort, aided by the Interstate Commerce Commission and Justice Department, seeks to enforce the law and possibly indict corporations if offenses continue.
