The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-06-28

court. Attorney General w. T. Thomp-
SON has found law which indicates
to his mind that If the federal court
is In doubt about Jurisdiction, the suit
shall be remanded to the state court.
He is of the opinion that all of the
rights of the state will be protected
in any event.
The supreme court received the ap-
plicatfon of the Union Pacific for re-
moval, together with bond, but de-
cided to make no order whatever.
This action Of. the court will be fol-
lowed by the filing OF transcript in
the federal court at Lincoln Monday.
Attorney Edison Rich of the Union
Pacific said he believed the transcript
would be ready by Monday. Attorney
General Thompson will resist the
movement and move to remand to the
supreme court.
The suit is anNinjunction suit insti-
tuted by the attorney general and the
Nebraska railway commission to pre-
vent the railroads from violating the
two-cent fare law, the commodity
freight law, the anti-pass law and
from defying orders issued by the
railway commission. No order Of in
junction has been asked for or issued
from the supreme court. Attorney
General Thompson was content to
wait while after he had filed his
suit and had thus given the state juris-
diction instead of waiting for the
roads to obtain an injunction in the
federal courts and thus putting the
state on the defensive.
Accepts Reduced Rates.
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railroad has notified the
Nebraska railway commission that
it has prepared schedule of rates
on certain commodities Is per cent
less than the rates in force on that
road January 1, to go into force July S.
This means that this road will willing
ly comply with the commodity maxi
mum rate law passed by the last legis-
lature. This corporation and the
Northwestern road being under the
control OF the same corporation 1t is
believed that the Northwestern road
will issue similar notice of compli.
ance.
Found in Contempt.
For filing false and mutilated rec
ord Attorney William r. BHtler &
O'Neill was held by the supreme court
to be s~ilty Of contempt of court. He
was let on with the payment of costs
in the proceedings for contempt,
amounting to $3.50. Chief Justice
Sedgwick said 1t was the opinion OF
the court that the defendant did not
at the time Of committing the offense
realize the gravity of his act.

ready to receive bids from towns for
the annual state encampment of the
guard which will be held the first
part Of August Nebraska guardsmen
