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.

Midland Valley R. Co. v. Barkley No. 375 Argued March 9, 1928 Decided April 9, 1928 276 U.S. 482
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
Syllabus
A railroad, in a time of coal-car shortage, distributed open-top cars to tipple mines, which can use only that type, and boxcars to wagon mines. The owner of a wagon mine, shipping interstate, refused boxcars and, relying on § 22 of the Interstate Commerce Act, sued the railroad in the state court for breach of its duty to furnish cars under the local law. Held that the action would not lie, since the question at issue was the reasonableness of the carrier’s practice of car distribution, which was an administrative question for the Interstate Commerce Commission. P. 484.
172 Ark. 898, reversed.
Certiorari, 275 U.S. 514, to a judgment of the Supreme Court of Arkansas which affirmed a recovery in an action against the railroad for failure to furnish coal cars.
