Reading Railroad Antitrust Suit Seeks Nullification of 1892 Leases
The Attorney General files a bill in equity naming Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and allied lines in a contest over 1892 leases. The suit argues these agreements violated Pennsylvania law, seeks voiding of contracts, dissolution of control, and a perpetual injunction to prevent further operation of leased lines and properties. It details interlinked leases among Reading, Lehigh Valley, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Port Reading, and related coal and canal interests.
