INJUNCTION POWER
SHOWN BY MEASURE
Senate Holds Debate on
Bill Reported From
Judiciary.

After the morning business today the
Senate took up an important bill report
ed from the judiciary Committee by
Senator Overman, intended TO regulate
the issue OF temporary injunctions BY
the Federal and district circuit courts.
This matter has been brought into
prominence BY the action Of a number
Of lower Federal courts in issuing tenn
pOrsry injunctiOns to prevent the en-
fOrcement Of State railroad laws and
10 prevent State officers from attempt
ing 10 carry out those laws.
The bill as reported prohibits the
issue Of temporary injunctions IN cases
involving the constitutionSlity OF a State
unless three Federal judges pass upon
the case and at least five days notice
OF hearing IS given 10 the governor and
attorney general Of the state that is
concerned, as well as the other defend
ants
Senator Overman spoke briefly on the
point OF the bin, alluded 20 decisions
In a number Of States in which a single
Federal Judge had eJOined the enforce
ment or a state law, and told Of the
feeling aroused because OF this. and
said IL would tend 10 aIlay public feel

on the bench in such cases. He said
the Dill has the unanimous support Of
