Abstract
Statement regarding the Southern Governors' Commodity Case (aka State of Alabama et al v. N. Y. C.R.R, 1937), explaining that the petition filed by rail carriers to block the implementation of uniform freight rates had been denied by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The statement references the Class Rate Case, a recent Supreme Court ruling which upheld regulations set by the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding shipping rates.
