Justice White said carriers cannot act as dealers to bypass published rates, affirming limits on favoritism and discrimination in interstate commerce. The case centers on a contract where Chesapeake and Ohio delivered coal to New Haven under pricing that favored one shipper, with questions of whether a carrier may sell at a loss to fulfill contracts.
