Harriman Rail System Upheld
St Louis March 10 The government suit to dissolve the Harriman line faced a new turn as a Utah federal court denied a bid to separate Central Pacific from Southern Pacific. The ruling, with Justice Sanborn concurring, questions whether Sherman law can reach pre enacted proprietary relationships and notes no proven harm to shippers under Central Pacific’s control.
