Supreme Court Rejects State Railroad Rate Controls
The U S Supreme Court rules against Minnesota and North Carolina in two related cases over state railroad rate laws. Justice Peckham writes for the court, holding such laws unconstitutional as they deter state courts from adjudicating rate validity and threaten company property and agent penalties. The Young case stems from Minnesota probes to block enforcement, while Wood v Asheville involves a ticket agent fined for charging above state limits. Justice Harlan dissents in Young, calling the ruling era making and damaging to state courts.
