Van Deventer Halts Arkansas 2 Cent Rate Law Injunction
Judge Van Deventer in the US circuit court granted a temporary injunction in favor of St. Louis Iron Mountain Southern and three other railroads, blocking Arkansas from enforcing the 2 cent fare law and restricting rate changes on interstate traffic. The order requires bonds about $100,000 per defendant and detailed accounting of tariff differences, with penalties possible if the injunction is abrogated on final hearing. The decision holds congressional supremacy in interstate matters over Arkansas state regulation.
