Texas Law Upheld By Supreme Court
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.—— The strict regulations imposed on private trucking companies by the Texas state legislature were upheld by the supreme court today in a decision expected to encourage similar legislation by other states.
The Texas statute was designed to remove heavy trucking congestion from state highways and to defend common carriers, including the railroads, from the devastating competition of private carriers.
Under the law the private contract carriers are obliged to obtain permit* from the siate railroad commission before they can operate. The commission also has power to prevent them from establishing minimum rates below those of competing common carriers. Other provisions not under attack required that truck driver.? must have limited working hours and that insurance be carried on all cargoes.
The court's ruling was considered one of the most liberal yet handed down on the subject of* state regulation ot highway*.
