"A decision of common pleas court
Judge Abraham S. Borden in
awarding damages under the emery
ency price control act of 1912. held
today that state courts had the
authority to enforce provisions of
federal law.
Judge Borden awarded 1925 dam
ages to Theodore Lapinski, who
charged his landlord, Joseph Copa-
cino, compelled him 10 pay SO
month over the federal rent ceiling
for period of seven mnoths.
Judge Borden said that IF state
courts are to accept as binding the
decisions of the supreme court Of
the United States, it must be con-
cluded that rights arising under
an act Of congress may be enforced,
as of right, in the courts of the
state where the jurisdiction as pre-
sclibed by local laws is inadequate
to the occasion. Changing times and
conditions, bringing a multitude Of
new problems, have vindicated this
as the wiser rule, for without it,
remedies afforded by congressional
action would frequently be impos-
sible Of performance without chang
ing the entire judicial system OF
