No Power to Fix Rates in Interstate Commerce Opinion
The Interstate Commerce Commission, in an opinion by Chairman Morrison, recommends rate reductions to Eureka Springs, Missouri, for freight via the Eureka Springs and St. Louis and San Francisco lines, ruling past reduced rates for distant points are discriminatory against Eureka Springs and interpreting Supreme Court power limits on fixing future rates. The decision notes the commission can declare past rates unlawful and urge reductions but cannot compel carriers to enact or enforce such changes.
