ACTION IN RATE. CASE
Minnesota's Attorney General s
Summoned TO Court.
ne VIOLATED An INJUNCTION
Ordered to Show Cause Why He
Should Not Be Punished for
Contempt 1919

Attorney General Young's challenge
has been accepted. Contempt proceed
tngs have been instituted against him
for violating Judge Lochfen's injunc-
ton in the rate cases and Mr. Young's
plan to secure an early decision Of the
supreme court on the question Of the
jurisdiction OF the court to issue the
Injunction is in operation.
The proceeding is In the form of an
order to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt. It Is
based on Mr.. Young's action in COM
mencing asuit against the Northern
Pacific road for the enforcement OF
the legislative commodity rates, in di-
rect violation of Judge Lochren's in
junction issued on Sept. %.
The attorney general has not been
placed under arrest nor detained in
any way. He will simply have to ap'
pear before Judge Lochren on Oct. .21
to show cause why he shall not be
punished for contempt in violating the
injunction. He will have to admit the
violation of the injunction and the
court will then probably impose a fine
with directions that Mr.. Young be
kept in the custody Of the marshal un-
til the fine is paid.
The attorney general will then be
able to apply to the United States SUI
rreme court for a writ of habeas cor
pus. In this proceeding the point will
be raised that by making the attorney
general a defendant in the rate cases
the suits are in fact brought against
the state, and hence are in violation OF
the federal constitutional provision
which exempts states from liability to
suits.
For this reason, the attorney gen
eral will contend, the court had no
jurisdiction against him and if the SUI.
preme court sustains his position on
this point the suits will be dismissed
as to the attorney general and the
contempt proceedings will fail, as the
action complained Of would be the
violation of a void Injunction
