General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Syllabus
1. The special remedy given by the Urgent Deficiencies Act of October 22, 1913, for reviewing orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission by suit against the United States applies only to orders dealing with subjects within the scope of the Commission’s duty to regulate commerce. P. 181.
2. This special remedy is inapplicable to a certificate issued by the Commission to the Secretary of the Treasury under § 209, Transportation Act, 1920, stating the Commission’s finding of the amount required of the United States to make good to a railroad company its guaranty of operating income during the six months following the termination of federal control, and stating also the aggregate amount theretofore certified, and thus showing (in this case) an overpayment by the government. P. 182.
22 F.2d 865 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the district court dismissing, for want of jurisdiction, a bill brought by the Railway Company to annul two certificates issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
