THE SEAbOARD AIR
LINE RECE|vERSH|P

Washington, Jan. 3.-The passing
of the Seaboard Air Line into the
hands OF receivers cannot have any
effect, so the railroads believe. upon
the Judgment OF members oc the
supreme court, who are even now
considering the alleged confiscatory
nature of the recent railroad legisla-
ton in various states. According to
m lroad lawyers the troubles OF the
aboard are traceable directly to
what they term the unfrlendly and
unreasonable attitude OF southern
state legislatures. SO far formal at
tacks have been made In the highest
court of law against the laws OF Min
nesota, North Carolina and Nebras-
ka. In few days suit will be
filed to test the Virginia law. Prac-
tlcally the same points are involved
in all the eases.
