Supreme Court rules Union Pacific illegal merger with Southern Pacific
The court holds the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific formed an unlawful interstate commerce combination by stock acquisition. It orders dissolution of the plan, prohibits voting or dividends on the stock, and sets a three month deadline to present a dissolution plan with possible receivership if not approved. The ruling targets the antitrust violation and the attempted control of the rival line from New Orleans to the coast.
