TOUCHES ON STATES RIGHTS.
gated Rights the State Is as Supreme -
as Though There Were No Union

Fort Smith, Ark, May 3.-In the in
junction case of the Kansas & Texas
Mining company against. the striking
miners, the cross injunction issued by
the state court was yesterday made
perpetual, Judge Rowe Overruling the
motion to dissolve, and holding that
rights of the state were paramount to
the federal authority in such cases.
The opinion states: "SOme appear
to think that the result of the
civil war settled the question of
state rights, but such is not
the case. In her undelegated rights
the state is just as supreme as though
there were no union" This virtually
throws upon the federal court the duty
Of protecting the mining property and
furnishing protection to the miners
who are anxious to return to work.
