Rate dispute and railway rate ruling revisited
The United States Supreme Court reversed the commerce court and upheld Interstate Commerce Commission power over long and short haul rates. It affirmed zone based rates for Pacific coast and intermountain routes and rejected blanket or zone rate bans amid a five percent freight increase debate. The decision touched oil lands patents validity and a pepper attack case in Altoona, plus a Brooklyn tunnel collapse, Tampico currency chips, and a Bethlehem woman’s tragic death lifting a stove.
