Important Decision Filed by the Interstate Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission filed a decision in the Little Rock and Memphis Railroad Company v. St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern and East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia Railroads. It holds that current English law logic would allow through passenger service with through rates east of Memphis and west of Little Rock, but Congress has not provided machinery to form a through route or divide a through rate, leaving that part of the act ineffective without carrier cooperation. The Commission urges amendments to fix this, echoed in its second annual report.
