MERGER (JASE
Called for Trial In the United States
Circuit Court at St .Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., March 18. The fam
ous case of the United States vs. the
Northern Securities company, com
prising the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroads, which has
been in litigation for some time, was
called for trial today in the United
fatates circuit court with Judges Cald
well, Sanborn and Thayer on the
bench.
The case comes to St. Louis for
trial because of the fact that the
United States court at St. Paul, where
the case originated through action
taken by Governor Van Sant. and the
United States court at St. Louis are
in the same circuit and St. Louis is
more convenient for some of the ju'
ists and counsel engaged in the case
than St. Paul. Both sides are rep
resented by an eminent array of legal
talent and the trial promises to be one
of tho most notable ever held In the
United States court in this city.
The issue at stake is equally im
portant as upon the decision of the
court depends the much mooted ques
tion as to whether tne Shorman antl
trust law can be made an effective
weapon In the regulation or suppres
slon of alleged unlawful combines of
capital.
