The ICC decided that the merger would result in savings, improved service, and more efficient use of the railroad\u2019s facilities.  These benefits were outweighed, however, by the potential loss of jobs and lessening of competition.  The ICC later reopened its investigation, focusing on the amount of savings the merger would produce.  This time, the ICC approved the merger, concluding that the proposed savings were more important.  Several railroads filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the ICC failed to give proper weight to the decrease in competition the merger would produce.  The district court affirmed the ICC decision.  The Supreme Court heard this case on direct appeal.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","question":"\u003Cp\u003EWas the ICC\u2019s approval of the merger improper?\u003C\/p\u003E\n","conclusion":"\u003Cp\u003ENo.  Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, writing for a unanimous court, affirmed.  The Supreme Court held that substantial evidence supported the ICC\u2019s decision.  The savings, service improvements, and conditions agreed to by the merging railroads far outweighed the loss of competition.  The court also upheld the ICC\u2019s decision on the ratio for the exchange of stock that would take place during the merger.  Justice William O. Douglas did not participate.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","advocates":[{"advocate":{"ID":39860,"name":"Richard W.
