Supreme Court Upholds Limit On Rail Coal Transport
Washington May 1 The Supreme Court ruling confirms the Hepburn rate law limits on railroads hauling coal from their own mines into interstate commerce. The decision, written by Justice White, voids earlier circuit judgments and remands cases from Delaware and Hudson et al. The opinion clarifies ownership of stock in related firms does not extend to control of transport, except when directly transporting the commodity. The ruling affects several railroads including Delaware Lackawanna, Reading, and Pennsylvanian, tying ownership to transportation rights and reinforcing the commodity clause limits.
