UnitedAmerican Lines , the common name of the American Shipping and Commercial Corporation , was a shipping company founded by W. Averell Harriman in 1920. Intended as a way for Harriman to make his mark in the business world outside of his father, railroad magnate E. H. Harriman , the company was financed by the younger Harriman s mother, Mary Williamson Averell . Entering into the shipping world with little experience, Harriman s UnitedAmerican Lines entered into agreements with the Hamburg America Line lang de Hamburg Amerikanische Packetfahrt Actien Gesellschaft or small HAPAG small , which was determined to recover after the financial disaster that befell the Germany German company as a result of World War I . After the brief and unsuccessful attempt at transatlantic service by the United States Mail Steamship Company U.S. Mail Line ended, Harriman s UnitedAmerican Line was temporarily assigned control over the former U.S. Mail Line ships in 1921. His inexperience taken advantage of by small HAPAG small and the almost complete end of immigration to the United States drained millions of dollars from the company and led Harriman to sell the company to small HAPAG small in 1926.

CCH P17,064 Prior Judgment for plaintiffs by U.S. District Court Holding The Motor Carrier Act of 1935 does not empower the Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate all employees of common and contract motor carriers, but rather only those whose duties affect safety of operation. SCOTUS 1940 1941 Majority Reed JoinMajority Black, Frankfurter, Douglas, Murphy Dissent Stone JoinDissent McReynolds, Roberts, Hughes LawsApplied Motor Carrier Act of 1935 United States v. American Trucking Associations , Case citation 310 U.S. 534 1940 , was a landmark Supreme Court of the United States United States Supreme Court case which marked a shift from evaluating the plain meaning of statute s to a judicial effort to determine legislative intent. American Trucking Associations had sought to compel the Interstate Commerce Commission ICC to regulate all employees of trucking industries, rather than simply those whose job has an impact on safety. The Fair Labor Standards Act FLSA included an exemption to employees regulated by the ICC under the Motor Carrier Act of 1935. By compelling the ICC to recognize all trucking employees as within its power to regulate, such employees would be exempt from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA. The court decided that ICC s interpretation of the statute, which limited its power only to those employees who have an impact on safety, was correct.
