Supreme Court rules Panama Canal libel case out of federal reach
The Supreme Court unanimous decision holds federal courts lack jurisdiction over the Panama Canal libel case against Press Publishing Company of New York since the offense could have been pursued in state court. The ruling interprets the Carmack amendment and upholds constitutional other provisions, including initial carrier liability and striking down Alabama contract labor law. The decision touches on banking law, land titles in Kentucky, and state deposit guarantees, while affirming the Texas ruling on Hendrix’s transfer and testimony issues.
