Federal court suit seeks injunction against leading railroads
In Philadelphia the government sought an injunction to halt what it calls an unlawful railroad combination among the Heading, Lehich Valley, Lackawanna, Jerney Central, Erie and Susquehanna and Western lines and their subsidiaries. The petition claims these carriers control about 60 percent of anthracite deposits and produce three quarters of the supply, suppressing independent operators and preventing competition. The Erie and Susquehanna exchanges are said to have swapped lines to eliminate rivals, with similar actions alleged against the Leading company.
