I C C Passes on Jurisdiction in Canadian Rail Shipments
The Interstate Commerce Commission again avoided ruling on its authority over Canadian railroads handling U S shipments. In a case from Aetna Powder Co. versus American and Canadian lines, the panel rescinded joint rate orders for routes from Renta Indiana to Concord Junction Massachusetts fully within the United States. The commission said it would not decide jurisdiction, noting routes moved entirely within U S borders. Canadian roads argued Canadian law exempted them from shipping explosives.
