Florida Court Approves
Seaboard-ACL Merger
Jacksonville, Fla.—A three-
judtfe federal court approved
Wednesday, June 8, the merg
er of the Atlantic ('oast Line
and Seaboard Air Line Rail
roads.
The court, in a lengthy
opinion, denied an injunction
sought against the merger by
the Florida East Coast Rail
way, the Justice; Department
and raliroad unions.
The court previously had
sent the case back to the In
terstate Commerce Commis
sion for further study but the
Supreme Court said the fed
eral court should make the
decision.
The Justice Department
bad opposed the merger on
Whitten Village
Employees To Meet
Che regular monthly meet-
of the Whitten Village
Employees’ Club will be held
on Juno 16 at the Parents’
club house at 7:15 (Please
note the change of time for
this meeting only.)
Recreation Program
Adds Adult Tennis
As part of the city recrea
tion program, adult tennis
classes 'will begin Wednes
day, June 22, at 8:00 a. m. at
the Clinton High School
courts. Mrs. Frank Ramage,
(vho is in charge of the girls’
summer program and the
tennis program, will teach
the classes.
grounds it would create a mo
nopoly and was against the
public interest.
The railroads said they
would save more than $20
million a year with the merg
er and this would enable
them to improve service, re
duce rates and eliminate
many grade crossings.
The ICC approved the
merger in 1963 but the three-
judge court ordered the com
mission to re-study, it giving
more weight to the effects of
the Clayton Anti-Monopoly
Act.
It was then that the high
court sent it back for further
review.
The Justice Department
contended the ICC gave pri
mary consideration to the
fact that the merger would
save money, despite the fact
that both railroads were in
good financial shape.
In its 38-page opinion, ex
pected to be appealed to the
Supreme Court, the three
judges said: “Since the ICC
correctly applied the proper
standards and thus exhibited
the familiarity with the com
plex problems in the trans
portation industry which Con
gress anticipates the ICC
would achieve from its par
ticular experience, we must
and do sustain its order.”
On the panel Were Judge
Richard T. Rives of the 5th
U. S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals, and district judges
Bryan Simpson and William
A. McRae, Jr.
