SOME ALLEGED YI0LATERS

The Pennsylvania System, the New
York Central and the Southern Rail
awy Said to Be Marked for Imme
diats Attention by the Department,
Of Justice.
Chicago, Jan. ia dispatch from
Washington to the Tribune says:
The precedent established by the
dissolution Of the New Haven rail
road system is expected to produce 8
revolution in future railroad control
The following lines, among others
will be attacked, and will be expected
to take prompt action to conform tc
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law:
The Pennsylvania system.
The New York Central system.
The Southern railroad.
Tn Pennsylvania partly conformed
to the law when it transferred the
Baltimore and Ohio to the Union Pa
cif1c in exchange for the Southern
Pacific. But it is declared to own
other parallel lines which justify the
charge of suppression of competition
This likewise is the case with the
New York Central, which owns and
controls 30 per cent of the stock OF
the Lake Shore and Michigan South.
epn and 80 per cent Of the stock OF
the Michigan Central Railroad com
pany.
The acquisition of the Mobile and
Ohio by the Southern Railroad com
pany Is pointed to as evidence of its
violation Of the Sherman law.
There are other systems through.
out the country which are said to be
on all fours with the New Haven, but
the three noted above are conspic.
uous illustrations, and are the ones
to which the government will give i'm.
mediate attention.
It Is the expectation of the admin
1stratlon that within the next twelve
months there will be general observ-
ance OF the antitrust law.
