OTHER CARRIERS MAY GET IN LINE Expected to Follow Example " of New Haven Road. - SOME ALLEGED VlOiATERS 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. 13.—A dispatch from ‘Washington to the Tribune says: The precedent established by the dissolution of the New Haven rail- road system is expected to preduce a revolution in future railroad control. The following lines, among others, will be attacked, and will be expected to take prompt action to conform to the provisions of the Sherman anti- trust law: The Penrsylvania system. The New York Central system. The Southern railroad. Th Pennsylvania partly conformed to the law when it transferred the Baltimore and Ohio to the Union Pa- cific in exchange for the Southern Pacific. But it is declared to own other parallel lines which justify the charge of suppression of competition. This ljkewise is the case with the New York Central, which owns and comtrols 90 per cent of the stock of the Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern and 89 per cent of the stock of the Michigan Central Rallroad 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 f{llustrations, and are the ones to which the government will give im- mediate attention. It is the expectation of the admin- Istration that within the next twelve months there will be general observ- ance of the anti-trust law.
