Supreme Court Rules Joint Traffic Association Bid Illegal
The United States Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the Joint Traffic Association railroad group is illegal as a restraint of trade under the anti trust law. The decision, delivered by Justice Peckham, follows the TransMissouri ruling and holds railroads as semi public and subject to congressional regulation. The Kansas City Live Stock Exchange was cleared of anti trust claims, with Justice Harlan dissenting on the broader implications for rings and syndicates.
