Government Wins Case on Intrastate Rates Across Railroads and Phones
The case involving the Director General of Railroads, Mines and Posts and the Postmaster General Harrison to set intrastate and interstate rates was decided in favor of the government. South Dakota had tried to block a telephone rate change, but the court upheld the director general’s authority to set intrastate rates. The decision aligns with a North Dakota ruling and addresses federal jurisdiction over railroad and wire lines, with focus on telephone rate increases and related investigations.
