Missouri short haul law battle reaches federal review
The Missouri Supreme Court case pits McGrew Coal Co against Missouri Pacific over intrastate coal rate rules. The dispute centers on whether the 1909 short haul provisions unlawfully burden interstate commerce or violate due process and equality protections. Courts have differed on if the statutes apply only to intrastate rates or affect cross border shipments. The issue involves constitutional and statutory interpretations framed by 19th century declarations and 1887 legislation.
