State railroad rate laws invalid in federal clash
Washington March 23. Supreme Court splits on state power to fix railroad rates.

Justice Peckham writes that heavy penalties shield state laws from challenge, denying equal protection and access to judicial review. Dissent by Justice Harlan warns of dangers to state courts and sovereignty.
