ANSWERS OF SCHIFF AND KAHN
Jacob Schiff and Otto H. Kahn, two defendants in the anti merger action against the Union Pacific and others, filed their answer in the U S District Court. They admit many facts but deny conspiracy or restraint of competition. They say Kuhn, Loeb & Co. acted as bankers and they acted for Union Pacific and stockholders as directors, having resigned in February 1906 and thus arguing they should not be defendants.
