A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No branch of the hiw is more important than that discussing the relative rights and duties of shippers and carriers of interstate freight, and no branch of the law is less generally knoAM i than that relating to those rights and duties. The purpose of this book is to help those who may be called upon to advise as to such rights and duties to an understanding of this interesting phase of the law. In approaching the subject the experience of an active practitioner was drawn upon to determine what would be most useful, not only to the legal profession, but to traffic men, whether in the employ of the carriers or of those bureaus organized all over the country to aid and advise shippers. From tliis experience, it was thought that where the state of the authorities justified, the law should be given as nearly as might be in the language of the courts having final authority to annomice that law. For this reason, in those questions that have been definitely determined, liberal quotations have been inserted. Many questions, however, affecting the subject of this book have not yet been determined. Where this is true, the opinions of the Federal courts, and of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and in some instances the State courts, on subjects analagous to that imder discussion, have been referred to and discussed. In tliis way it has been sought to deduce the principles of law. The A ct to Regulate Commerce has been annotated not only with the decisions of the courts but also with the opinions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This will enable any one desiring to investigate a particular provision of that act to trace the construction thereof by the references that have been made thereto by the tribunals whose duty it is to enforce this great statute.
