ATiNG IN MINNESOTA TAKE
INITIATIVE.
SUITS STARTED IN St. PAUL
RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED /.
CLAIM THAT LAW Is coNFls.
cATORY.

st. Paul, June 2. - Stockholders of
the various railroads operating in Min.
nesota brought action yesterday In the
federal court fere to secure an order
restraining their lines from operating
under the commodity late law effective
today. The state is made q party to
the suit. This is understood to be
only an initial step in the procedure
to secure temporary injunction
against the lines and their executive
officers. the state railroad and ware.
house commission and the attorney
general, covering the effectiveness of
the passenger rate law, the commodity
rate law and certain rulings made by
the state commission.
Says Laws Are institutional.
The test is made on the ground that
the laws are unconstitutional as tend
ing to permit the conflscation of prop.
erty without due process of law.
The papers have been prepared by
attorneys representing the individual
stockholders and it is said that the be-
ginning of the litigation will be sur
prise to the railroad attorneys as well
as to the state officials. The stock
holders profess to have found that the
enforcement of the laws would make
it impossible for the railroads to pay
dividends.
Cut Down Incomes.
Stockholders identified with the
Great Western decided to take steps
to prevent Western states from enforc-
ing laws arbitrarily reducing freight
rates OH staples and commodities,
which would cut down the net incomes
