Joint amicus brief of the United States and Â鶹´«Ã½ Trade Commission in support of rail shipper plaintiffs. The brief urges affirmance of the district court decision that interpreted a provision of the Staggers Act of 1980 to allow admission of evidence of alleged collusion among rail carriers. The court’s interpretation is correct and consistent with the antitrust laws’ goal of protecting competition.
