Judges Suspend ICA Rate Cut on Live Stock Transfer
In a United States Circuit Court ruling from St. Paul on June 20 judges Seaborn Hook and Adams granted an interlocutory decree suspending and enjoining enforcement of an Interstate Commerce Commission order. The order had reduced charges for moving live stock from railroad terminals in Chicago to Union Stock Yards from $2 to $1 per car. The court held the ICC set an unreasonably low rate, but found the segregation requirement means each segregated rate must be judged on its own merits under federal law.
