The Pacific coast fares could see notable increases, though passenger cuts are favored by some.

Judges Rule On Steel Monopoly And Tennessee Coal
The court’s unanimous ruling found no monopoly was achieved by the steel trust, noting that mere associations and social gatherings did not realize illegal power. It concluded the practices were abandoned as futile, without evidence of intent to resume. Justice McKenna discussed the Roosevelt approval of the Tennessee Coal and Iron acquisition as a public welfare measure, not a legal endorsement. The majority praised genuine competition and rejected claims of predatory pricing, while acknowledging paradoxes in government positions. (Continued on page 5.)
