Formation of Northern Securities Company to Evade Federal Decisions
Federal suit filed in Minnesota by the Attorney General to dissolve the Northern Securities Company and its allies Great Northern and Northern Pacific as a sham holding entity. The bill alleges a deliberate scheme to consolidate competing transcontinental railways, strip competitive interests, and monopolize interstate and foreign commerce in violation of the Sherman Act. The government seeks injunctions to prevent stock transfers and require return of exchanged shares.
