The move would follow consolidation of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Oregon Short Line, and may resemble the dissolved Northern Securities case.

Kentucky Bars the Mutual Insurance License Revocation
Lawyers for the Mutual Life Insurance Company served notice of an injunction to stop Kentucky Insurance Commissioner Prewitt from revoking the companys license. Prewitt said the license had already been revoked last night, and the company would contest the move in court. The dispute traces to a prior hearing over agents loyalty and the administration ticket, prompting claims of coercion and calls for reinstatement of dismissed agents. Governor Jelks later urged Alabama policyholders to back the Policy Holders Committee against administration-aligned tickets.
