Nebraska Senator Norris Seeks Sherman Antitrust Probe of NY Central
Senator Norris introduced a resolution asking the Attorney General to inform the Senate whether the New York Central system violates the Sherman antitrust law by controlling four lines between Chicago and Buffalo and two between New York and Buffalo. He cites ownership of Lake Shore, Nickel Plate, Michigan Central, Western Maryland, and Western Transit Company, plus Lake Shore control of Pittsburgh and Lake Erie, arguing a four-line interstate transportation network unfairly coordinated under one umbrella. The measure seeks action to dissolve or block the consolidation and prevent further steps reducing competition.
