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.

Missouri Pacific Railroad Company v. Norwood No.193 Argued March 10, 11, 1931 Decided April 13, 1931 283 U.S. 249
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
Syllabus
1. Affidavits filed in support of an application for a temporary injunction cannot be considered in determining whether the complaint states facts sufficient to constitute ground for relief. P. 253.
2. The complaint, attacking as unconstitutional two Arkansas statutes regulating the size of freight train and switching crews, fails to allege facts sufficient to distinguish this case from others in which this Court has sustained the same laws. Chicago, R. I. & P. Ry. Co. v. Arkansas, 219 U.S. 453; St. Louis & Iron Mt. Ry. Co. v. Arkansas, 240 U.S. 518. P. 254.
3. A purpose to prevent the exertion of the police power of the states for the regulation of the number of men to be employed in freight train and switching crews will not be attributed to Congress if not clearly expressed. P. 256.
4. Congress has not prescribed, or empowered the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix, the number of men to be employed in such crews. P. 257.
5. The Arkansas statutes in question are not in conflict with the Railway Labor Act. P. 258.
42 F.2d 765 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the District Court of three judges dismissing a bill to enjoin the enforcement of statutes regulating the size of freight train and switching crews.
