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.

Western Paper Makers’ Chemical Company v. United States No. 312 Argued May 4, 5, 1926 Decided May 24, 1926 271 U.S. 268
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
Syllabus
1. The determination by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the question whether a rate is reasonable or discriminatory is conclusive if supported by substantial evidence, in the absence of any irregularity in the proceeding or error in applying the rules of law. P. 271.
2. The Commission is not hampered by mechanical rules governing the weight or effect of evidence. The mere admission of matter which, under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceeding, would be incompetent does not invalidate its order. P. 271.
3. The Commission has power to require the abandonment of through routes which, under a revision of through rates on a commodity, would violate the long and-short-haul clause of § 4 of the Interstate Commerce Act. P. 272.
7 F.2d 164 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the district court dismissing the bill in a suit to enjoin or modify orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission establishing through rates on rosin. See 7 F.2d 164.
