Supreme Court Upholds Interstate Commerce Commission Powers
The Supreme Court ruled the Interstate Commerce Commission may strike down state rates that discriminate against interstate commerce. The decision cites Minnesota and other state rate cases, suggesting railroads might have fared better if relief had been sought from the ICC rather than courts. It stems from Shreveport merchants alleging the Texas Railroad Commission forced lower Texas rates than those allowed by the ICC, hindering commerce.
