however, is May as previously set by
the judges.

torney General Linde stated that the
temporary injunction granted by Judge
Pollock on Saturday, April II, still re-
mains in force. The action is just a
step taken by the railroads to bring
the case from the state into the Fed
eral court as the case directly involves
the construction of an act of congress
regulating interstate commerce in
which the Federal court has original
jurisdiction, regardless of the amount
of controversy.
The action brought by Attorney Gen
eral Linde against the Northern Paci
fic Railway company is civil contro
versy arising under the act of congress
regulating commerce. The matter OF
dispute exceeds the sum of the value
of $4,000, exclusive of interest and
