Brandeis Opinion Questioned in Merger Hearing
Senate subcommittees questioned Louis Brandeis's potential bias as justice candidate. Liggett of Boston testified he hired Brandeis to judge a merger between United Cigar Stores and Riker-Hememan Drug Stores, claiming Brandeis leans toward anti trust enforcement. Attorneys Snow and Liggett argued Brandeis deemed the merger lawful, while opponents warned of sympathy with antitrust limits. Federal District Attorney George Anderson said he believed the merger illegal, though he called it a difference of opinion. The department of justice remained wary that the merger could harm competitors and violate trust laws.
