Supreme Court To Decide This Day on Lumber Freight Rates
The Supreme Court heard arguments on the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate lumber freight rates. Southern railroads and the Commission clash over whether rate hikes are valid, tied to a broader question of the commission’s reach. If upheld, the ruling would affirm the commission’s authority and benefit Southern lumber shippers with potential rate relief. The case traces to 1903 with yellow pine associations challenging the rate increase, a bond posted, and appeals through federal courts.
