Federal Authority Upheld,

Washington.-In refusing to grant to
Attorney General Young of Minnesota
a writ OF habeas corpus releasing from
the penalty imposed by the United
States District Court for the district
of Minnesota on charge OF contempt
Of court In instituting a proceeding in
a state court for enforcement OF the
railroad rate law after the Federal
Court had prohibited such course,
and in affirming the decision OF Judge
Pritchard Of the United States Circuit
Court for the western district OF North
Carolina discharging from imprison-
ment James H. Wood, ticket agent
Of the Southern Railway at Asheville,
after he had been sentenced by the
Ashevilie police court to serve term
On the rock pile on the charge Of col
lecttng for ticket on that road a
greater price than was permitted by
the state railroad law. the Supreme
Court Of the United States Monday
added another to the series Of decisions
which have rendered notable the pres
ent term Of that court.
In both cases the right Of the states
to flx rates for railroad transportation
was the issue, and both involved con-
flicts between the federal and the
state courts. The decision In each
case was opposed both to the states
and to their courts.
The opinion OF the court in both
cases was announced by Justice Peck
ham, and with the exception of Justice
Harlan, all the other members of the
court stood behind him In the all
nouncement Of the courts finding
Justice Harlan read dissenting
opinion in the Young case, In which he
took the view that the suit was prac-
tically a proceeding against the state
and therefore not permissible under
the eleventh amendment to the consti.
tuition. He therefore characterized the
opinion as an era making history of
the country, said it had the effect of
closing the courts Of the state against
the state itself and predicted that the
result would be disastrous.
