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.

Illinois Central R. Co. v. Crail No. 75 Argued January 10, 1930 Decided February 24, 1930 281 U.S. 57
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Under the Cummins Amendment and the common law of compensatory damages, the amount which a coal dealer is entitled to recover from a rail carrier for failure to make delivery of part of a carload shipment of coal is the full actual loss at point of destination. P. 63.
2. Where the shortage was capable of replacement, and was, in fact, replaced in the course of the dealer’s business from purchases made in carload lots at wholesale market price without added expense, the recovery is measured by the wholesale price, including any profit over cost at the mine plus freight, and not by the retail market price, which includes costs of delivery to retail customers not incurred by the dealer and a retail profit not earned by him by any contract of resale. Pp. 63-65.
31 F.2d 111 reversed.
Certiorari, 279 U.S. 833, to review a judgment of the circuit court of appeals which affirmed a Judgment of the district court, 21 F.2d 831, against the Railroad Company in an action for nondelivery of coal. See also 2 F.2d 287; 13 id. 459.
