Nebraska Maximum Freight Rate Case Reversed by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Harlan, held Nebraska's 1898 law fixing maximum freight rates unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. The law targeted intrastate freight, discriminating against railroads and interfering with interstate commerce, leading to railroad victory. The decision affirmed the Eighth Circuit’s ruling that the act was unreasonable and harmful to railroad interests.
