Ocean pool ruling limits rail jurisdiction at sea
The Interstate Commerce Commission holds that traffic billed from inland United States points to Europe via Baltic ports is all-water transport not subject to interstate rule. Independent water carriers in the Baltic pool are exempt from certain Interstate Commerce Act provisions. The Cosmopolitan Shipping Company and others challenged pooling, but the commission ruled it has jurisdiction over foreign commerce and can regulate through traffic via rail and water when shipments involve ocean carriage.
