Syllabus

In a permit to operate as a contract carrier under the "grandfather" clause of § 209(a) of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, it is within the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission -- under § 209(b), requiring that the Commission specify in such permit "the business of the carrier covered thereby and the scope thereof" -- to specify the shippers or types of shippers for whom the carrier may haul designated commodities. P. 91.

45 F.Supp. 793 affirmed.

Appeal from a judgment of a District Court of three judges dismissing the complaint in a suit to set aside an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
