Craig law. requiring all foreign corpora
tions doing business in North Carolina to
comesticate themselves here. The object
was to prevent them from transferring
cases from State TO Federal courts Yes
terday Judge Purnell, of the United States
District Court, declared the Craig law
null and void.
The town of Durham and the Durham
and Northern Railway, which is part OF
the Seaboard Air Line sued the Southern
Railway Company in the state courts.
The Southern transferred the cases TO
the Federal courts. The town and the
Durham and Northern made motions TO
remand the cases TO the State courts. on
The ground that the Southern Is now a
North Carolina corporation. having filed
Its charter here; and. further that there
is no local prejudice against the Southern
Judge Purnell refused the motions TO re-
rand. He holds the Craig law null and
void, in that Notwithstanding the decIa-
ration on its face, IL is well known that
It's purpose Is 10 affect the jurisdiction OF
