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.

Home Furniture Company v. United States No. 324 Argued and submitted May 6, 1926 Decided June 1, 1926 271 U.S. 456
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Syllabus
An order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, made upon petition of two railroad companies, permitting the one to acquire control of the other by stock ownership and leases, with the object of coordinating and improving their operation in connection with another railroad system, is an order relating to transportation within the meaning of the Act of October 22, 1913, and therefore a suit to set the order aside cannot be brought in a district where neither of the petitioning companies resides. P. 459.
2 F.2d 765 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the district court sustaining a plea for the dismissal of a suit to set aside an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission upon the ground that it was in the wrong venue.
