Supreme Court Rules Carrier May Limit Baggage Liability
The Supreme Court upholds that railways may require disclosure of baggage value and charge extra for high value items, while passenger secrecy or lack of regulation prevents automatic liability. The decision affirms the lower court ruling in a case involving a Russian countess and lace valued at $75,000, noting normal baggage limits apply without special agreement. Justice Harlan wrote the opinion with Justices Field Miller and Strong dissenting on the lace valuation.
