The Supreme Court heard arguments in the Interstate Commerce Commission case against New York New Haven and Hartford and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. C&O is charged with granting a pronounced rebate to New Haven for supplying 2,000,000 tons of Virginia coal under contracts from 1897 to 1902 at 32% per ton.
