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.

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company v. Robinson No. 450 Argued February 26, 1914 Decided April 6, 1914 233 U.S. 173
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
Where the state court, by its ruling, denies the carrier the benefit of the Interstate Commerce Act, a compliance wherewith was set up in the pleadings and supported by testimony, this Court has jurisdiction to review under § 237, Judicial Code.
The effect of the Carmack Amendment was to give to federal jurisdiction control over interstate commerce and to make federal legislation regulating liability for property transported by common carriers in interstate commerce exclusive.
The shipper, as well as the carrier, is bound to take notice of the filed tariff rates, and so long as they remain operative, they are, in the absence of attempts at rebating or false billing, conclusive as to the rights of the parties. Great Northern Ry. v. O’Connor, 232 U.S. 508.
An oral agreement cannot be given a prevailing effect which will be contrary to the filed schedules. To do so would open the door to special contracts and defeat the primary purpose of the Interstate Commerce Act to require equal treatment of all shippers and the charging to all of but one rate, and that the rate filed as required by the act.
36 Okl. 435 reversed.
The facts, which involve the construction of the Hepburn Act and of the Carmack Amendment, are stated in the opinion.
