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. Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Co. No. 660 Argued April 8, 9, 1936 Decided May 25, 1936 298 U.S. 492
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
1. Legislative approval of a construction placed by this Court upon an Act of Congress is evidenced by failure to amend. P. 500.
2. The mere fact that all the shares of a railroad corporation and all the shares of a manufacturing corporation are owned by a holding company does not make transportation by the one of the products of the other unlawful under the commodities clause of the Interstate Commerce Act. P. 499.
United States v. Reading Co., 253 U.S. 26, distinguished. Existence of power in the holding company to control the railway company, not exercised in the present case, did not make the railway company the alter ego of the holding company.
11 F.Supp. 435 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the District Court of three judges which dismissed a bill brought by the United States to enjoin the Railway Company from hauling the products of certain manufacturing companies in alleged violation of the commodities clause of the Interstate Commerce Act.
