Schaff v. J. C. Famechon Company

No. 91

Argued January 16, 1922

Decided February 27, 1922

258 U.S. 76

Syllabus

A decision of a state court, denying a carrier's right to make a charge for refrigerator cars not provided for in tariffs filed at the stations where the shipments originated, and based wholly on an interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Act and the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission, without questioning their validity, does not deny the validity of an authority exercised under the United States, and is therefore not reviewable by writ of error under § 237, Jud.Code, as amended. P. 258 U. S. 80.

Writ of error to review 145 Minn. 108 dismissed.

Error to review a judgment of the Supreme Court of Minnesota which denied the right of a carrier to recover charges for refrigerator cars employed in interstate shipments.
