Commerce Court Shorn of Power by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court upheld the Interstate Commerce Commission’s exclusive control over the federal rate system, ruling the Commerce Court cannot review factual findings or substitute its judgment. Chief Justice White stated the court inherited limited powers only to review questions of law, not to rewrite rate regulations. The decision reverses Commerce Court rulings in Procter & Gamble and related cases and preserves ICC authority over rail rate decisions.

Senator Kern Questions Lorimer Corruption Ties in June Hearing
Washington June 7 Senator Kern of Indiana spoke three hours supporting a Lorimer corruption inquiry. He alleged Minnesota legislators Holstran and Charles A White took money, cited a $190 bill display by William Blair, and questioned safety deposit boxes after Lorimer’s election.
