Supreme Court limits state regulation of private motor carriers
The Supreme Court rules states cannot force private motor carriers to operate for hire on public highways. The decision, delivered by Justice Butler, holds that Maryland and Washington face similar issues and that interstate commerce cannot be unduly restrained. It allows states to impose safety and license requirements but rejects demanding public service for private contracts.
