State railroad rate laws invalid ruling United States
Washington March 23 In denying a writ of habeas corpus for Minnesota Attorney General Young the Supreme Court held Minnesota and North Carolina rate laws unconstitutional as threatening confiscation of property and denying equal protection. The decision, announced by Justice Peckham, finds state rail rate limits too harsh and blocking access to courts, with Justice Harlan dissenting in Young. The ruling affirmed that federal courts may halt state actions when rates are confis torious, and that penalties for disobedience would deter challenges.
