ATTACKS MERGER
State Of Washington Fighting the
CombinatioH.
BRINGS ACTION IN TIE SUPRtNf COURT
Ease Declared Not Parallel with That
Of MiDnesota's Action Of Last
Resort the Only Avenue Open
Conspiracy Is Charged.

Attorney General Stratton OF the
state of Washington has entered, in
the supreme court of the United States.
a motion for leave to file a bill of
complaint against the Northern Securi-
ties company in behalf of that state.
The briefs were accepted by the court.
Former Attorney General Griggs APP
peared for the Securities company.
This is the case of merger which MIN
ncsota tried to enjoin. but which ac-
ton was denied that state by the SUI
preme court on the ground that one
of the railroad companies In the deal
was a citizen of Minnesota. The Sc
curities company Is Incorporated in
New Jersey, but neither the Northern
Pacific nor the Great Northern Is a
citizen of Washington.
In connection with his motion for
leave to file his bill of complaint. Mr..
Stratton submitted copies of his bill
and a brief in its support. To avoid
the objection under which this court
refused to entertain the bill of the
state of Minnesota against the North
ern Securities company. the state of
Washington has made the Great
Northern Railway company and the
Northern Pacific Railway company de-
PENDANTS.
The bill asks for a general order of
restraint and injunction. and is n gen.
eral recital of the acts of merger which
II IL claimed are in contravention of
the laws Of the state of Washington
prohibiting the consolidation of COM
peting lines or railroads.
The combination Is characterized as
a conspiracy. and in the brief the
legal reasons in support of the action
ire set forth, among them being the
one that unless the supreme court as
sumes jurisdiction the state Is with.
out n forum to which the controvers,
may be presented.
