Ogden Man in Supreme Court Suit Over Interstate Rail Rule
Washington Alay reports a petition for writ of certiorari in the case of W. O. Johnson v Southern Rail Company. The dispute centers on the 181 act requiring railroads to equip cars with automatic couplers and whether dining cars not equipped were in interstate commerce. Lower courts ruled for the railroad, saying dining cars moved by freight engines were not interstate cars. The elicit or general argues Congress may decide if an empty dining car in transit is subject to interstate control. The case tests federal authority over cars used in interstate service and the status of a dining car in movement between points like Promontory Utah and San Francisco.
