HAVE DEMONSTRATION
By Associated Press.

MONTPELIER, France, July 13.-
Marching workmen and their sympathiz-
ers, singing anarchistic airs, stopped to-
night in front of the barracks and ac-
claimed the soldiers, whom they invited
to join in the procession of demonstra-
ton.
The troops were confined, however, and
were not allowed to mingle with the

SAYS STATE LAW is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 13.-Judge
Jones of the United States circuit court
ruled today that the new state law, under
which removal of a suit by railroad
company from state to a federal court
revokes the license of the railroad COM
pany, is invalid and in violation of the
constitution of both the state and the ma
ton.
1t abrogates, the court held, the con-
tract between the corporation and the
state, and also is in violation of the state
provisions that corporations
shall have the same rights to sue and be
sued as individuals.
The court also gave reasons for grant
ing temporary injunctions to restrain op-
Grafton of state rate regulation laws, his
object being to allow the railroads oppor-
tunity to prove their allegations that the
laws are unconstitutional.
