Santa Fe Fellowship With Kansas Attorneys on Pittsburg & Gulf Boycott
Kansas City Feb 17 Paul Morton Santa Fe vice president met with Kansas City attorneys to discuss the temporary injunction and potential permanent injunction to prevent withdrawal of freight divisions from the Pittsburg & Gulf. Morton denies a boycott and frames action as serving Santa Fe’s own business interests and traffic growth on the Gulf lines. He cites wheat prospects, Kansas enterprise, and plans to locate cornstalk and cotton mills along the line to spur production, cattle feed, and shipbuilding materials, while exploring new manufacturing sites in southern Kansas.
