Supreme Court to rule on reciprocal demurrage in Southern Railway case
The state court of appeals sent constitutional questions to the Supreme Court in Southern Railway v. Melton. Five justices upholding the Candler act held reciprocal demurrage is compensation, not a penalty, and the commission may issue such rules. Justice Fish dissented, arguing it is a penalty and not delegable. The case returns to the appellate court for final decision, with railroad writeups likely to press to the U S Supreme Court.
