St Louis Terminal Rail Road win in federal court
In St Louis on June 16 Circuit Judges Sanborn and Smith filed an interlocutory decree directing the St Louis Terminal Railroad to file new contracts with its constituent roads in line with a Supreme Court ruling in the ouster suit. The decree omits the bridge toll ban proposed by the government and mirrors a prior Arkansas district judge’s decree objected to by the government.
