state statutes SWEEP Aside.

In effect, the opinion of the United
States supreme court holds that where
there is conflict between state and fed
eral statutes the state must be swept
aside. Stripped of legal verbiage, 1t
develops from the opinion that when
state deliberately sets out to pre-
vent its citizens from seeking redress
in the federal courts, by providing pen
alties which are so excessive as to be
designed clearly to restrain them from
such recourse, they are plainly uncon-
stitutional

of the United States Monday upholds
the United States court OF Minnesota
in fining Attorney General Young Of
that state for contempt in trying to
enforce the Minnesota 2-cent railway

Attorney General Ksdley Of Mis-

General Young in the action before
the supreme court and decision is ad-
verse to Hadley's contentious.
There was a strong dissenting Opin-
ion by Justice Harlan, which some
lawyers in congress thought but little
short Of sensational. but the opinion
of the court is expected to have a
marked and decisive effect upon state
legislatures and those who In ad-
herence to state laws overlook the
strong hand of the federal govern
ment in the regulation of interstate
affairs.
