Syllabus

<p>Carriers — Interstate Commerce Act — Shipments between Points in Same State.</p> <p>A shipment of grain over a single railroad between two points, both within the same state, is not an interstate shipment, so as to bring it within the terms of the interstate commerce act, and authorize a federal court to compel such shipment, by mandamus, at the same rates charged other shippers of a like commodity, because the line of road between the two terminal points passes through other states; nor is it rendered an interstate shipment by the fact that the grain was received at the initial point from a carrier by which it was transported from a point in another state, and was there stored in an elevator for further shipment, where it was not taken by the first carrier under a through bill of lading. 1</p>
