Legal dispute on shipper rights in interstate coal shipments
L. J. Storey Commissioner argues that the character of a shipment determines whether it is intrastate or interstate commerce. He contends parol evidence cannot contradict written bills of lading and that a shipment marked for outbound transport may still be state commerce if the intent and route do not indicate crossing to another state.
