East Texas Motor Freight Lines v. Frozen Food Express, 351 U.S. 49 (1956)
East Texas Motor Freight Lines v. Frozen Food Express
Argued March 7, 1956
Decided April 23, 1956
351 U.S. 49
Syllabus
On complaint of three motor common carriers under § 204 (c) of the Interstate Commerce Act, the Commission ordered Frozen Food Express, another motor common carrier, to cease and desist from transporting in interstate commerce without a certificate of convenience and necessity fresh and frozen dressed poultry, which it found not to be within the exemption under § 203(b)(6) of the Act of "agricultural . . . commodities (not including manufactured products thereof)." Frozen Food Express sued in a Federal District Court to set aside the order.
Held: fresh and frozen dressed poultry is an "agricultural" commodity within the meaning of § 203(b)(6), and not a "manufactured" product thereof, and the District Court properly set aside the Commission's order. Pp. 351 U. S. 50-54.
128 F.Supp. 374 affirmed.
