MERGER SUIT
Railroad Case from Min
nesota Remanded to
the State Courts
SUPREME COURT
Decision Says the Circuit Court
Should Not Have Entertained Ju-
risdiction-The Opinion of the
Court Was Unanimous-The Suit
Was by the State OF Minnesota
Against the Northern Securities
Company, the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railway COmpa-
nieS.

Washington, April 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court today decided
the case Of the State Of Minnesota VS..
the Northern Securities Company and
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railway companies, involving the
validity Of the merger Of the two rail-
road companies, holding that it was
without jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion Of the court below.
Justice Harlan who delivered the
opinion. said that the circuit court
should not have entertained jurisdic-
ton in the case. the effect being to
remand the case to the State courts.
Judge Harlan called attention to the
fact that the proceedings was for the
purpose OF enforcing both the State
laws and the Federal antitrust act
saying that the circuit court could not
have taken jurisdiction if only the
State statutes had been involved. TAX
ing up the Federal law and and analy-
Zlng its provisions he said that il
was clear that the case did not belong
to any OF the classes provided for by
that law.
The contention that the cause in
volved proprietary interests Of the
State was not allowed to influence the
opinion. On that point the court said
the injury was at most only remote
and indirect. The court also refused to
hold that Minnesota's dignity or rights
as a State would be affected under ar
ticle ". OF the Federal constitution by
permitting the stock of corporations in
the State to be held by an outside cor
poration like the securities company
Justice Harlan said the court couId
not think that the articles of the con-
stitution had any bearing whatever on
the question. He said in conclusion
For the reasons stated, We are opin-
ion that the suit does MOTTO use the
words OF the act Of 1S75-really and
substantially involve a dispute on con-
troversy within the jurisdiction OF the
court circuit for the purpose of f.
nal decree. That being the case, the
circuit court. following the mandate
Of the statute, should not have pro-
ceeded therein. but should have re-
manded the cause to the State court.
The decree of the circuit court is re-
vised and the cause is sent back with
directions that will be remanded &c
