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.
United States v. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corp., 406 U.S. 742 (1972)
United States v. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corp. No. 71-227 Argued March 27, 1972 Decided June 7, 1972 406 U.S. 742
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
Syllabus
1. Two "car service rues" promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), requiring generally that unloaded freight cars be returned in the direction of the owning railroad, are "reasonable" under the Esch Car Service Act of 1917 in view of the ICC’s finding, for which there is substantial record support, of a national freight car shortage, and its conclusion that the shortage could be alleviated by mandatory observance of the rule, which would give the railroads greater use of their cars and provide an incentive for the purchase of new equipment. Pp. 744-755.
2. The ICC proceeding in this case was governed by, and fully complied with, § 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act. Pp. 756758.
325 F.Supp. 352, reversed.
REHNQUIST, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
