Supreme Court VIII Pass OH Case
Tried in Local Courts. as%o..

MINNEAPOLIS nne s" s.. Paul ' and Duluth have
been restrained from selling railway
tickets on any Of the lines running into
the three mentioned cities.
Writs were secured in the federal
court by the eight foreign incorporated
roads running into these cities and in
the Great Northern, 500 and Mime
apolis & st. Louis roads.
These writs enjoin the defendants
from selling any on-transferable rail
way transportation and they have been
served upon all of the ticket brokers
in Minneapolis and probably in the
other two cities by this time, The rail,
they have secured the writs upon the
showing made that the brokers are
violating the law Of the state, held to
be constitutional, to the effect that no
one can sell railway Transportation
without first having secured license
from the secretary of state.
Offices Still Open.
What effect these orders have had
on the business, of the, brokers is not
stood that altho the local brokers are
still keeping their places open they are
not selling transportation. on the roads
running into Minneapolis. They are
said to be selling parts of excursion
tickets good over roads east of Chi
cago. %,
The move is a part of long fight
on the part of the railway companies
to run all ticket scalpers out Of bust
ness. It is provided in the statutes
that no one can secure a license to sell
railway tickets without the endorse
ment of a railway company and that
provision enables the companies to keer
the scalpers from securing license
but until now it has not prevented
them from selling transportation JUS
the same as tho they held licenses.
One conviction for selling tickets
! without license was secured in this
city by County Attorney AL j. Smith
and the case was taken to the supreme
court as a test. The lower court was
affirmed and now the brokers' associa
tion has appealed the case to the United
