Norman H. White contends that steamers paralleling railroad routes are contrary to the Sherman Act. He finds it odd that the case would be pursued by the Roosevelt administration and then dropped by President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham. White would like to hear Taft’s or Wickersham’s views on the matter.
