Fce'er.il Circuit Judges Sustained In the Railroad Rate* Cases From Minnesota and North Carolina? Justice Harlan Files Dissenting Opinion?He Says Results Will be ??tastrous. Washington, March 23?In refus? ing to tract to Attorney General Young of Minnesota a writ < f habeas corpus re least ig nlm 'rom the pen? alty Imposed by the United States cir? cuit ourt for tin district of Mlnne soti on the charge of contempt of court In Instituting a proceeding m a State court for the enforcement of fie raMroad rate law aft;r the fideral ou.t had p.\>hih!ted sucn a course, and In affirming the decision of Judge Pritchard of the United States circuit court for the Western district of Notth Carolina, discharging from Im? prisonment James H. Wood, a ticket agent of the Southern rah way at Ashevlll*. after he had been sentenced by the Aahevllla police court to serve u rm on ?he rock pile on the charge of collecting tor a ticket on that road a greater price than was permitted by the State rsllrcad commission, the supreme court of the United States ad Jed another to a series of decisions which have rendered notable thei pres en' tern: of that court. In both eaaas the right of the States to fix rates for railroad transportation was the leave, and bot*? involved con? flicts between federal ai?d State courts The decision in each case was opposed both to the States and' to their courts. The opinion of the court ll both cases was announced by Jus? tice Peekham. and with the exception of Justice Harlan all the other mem ben of the court stood behind him In the announcement of the court's fln*1 Ing. Justice Harlan read a dis? serting c pinion In the Young case In which h.- f**k the v^ew that suit was prictlcally a proceeding against the State and therefore not permissi? ble under the eleventh amendment to the constitution. He therefore char? acterised the opinion aa era-making In the hJutory of the court, and said It had the effect of closing the courts of a State against the State itself and predicted that the result would be disastrous. The two cases were <o similar that both practically were decided In one opinion. The principal pronouncement was made In the Minnesota case. Justice Peckham's opinion as out? lined Is la port as follows:1 v 'Tho court haf decided: That by reason of the enormous penalties pro? vided In the rate laws, by way of flms jfdJnst the companies and Im? prisonment of ths'.r agents end em prevented from ever luestienlng the va-'dlty cf those laws, and the risk of ?ornscat'on of property and Imprison? ment of agents In case fhe companies failed In their deftne* was too much to indertake In older to obtain a de? cision on the question of such va? lidity. "Such laws are the r afore held un? constitutional as they prevented tin companies fr< m resorting to t ie courts, and therefore deprived them of the equal protection of tho laws. . 'The questkn of th-. sufficiency Of the rotss to enable the company to obtain some return to ?ta ?lockholders for their Investment, hss f>r many years oeen held to be one for the cou ts to decide as It woull b* a vio? lation of the, constitution of *he Uni? ted States to fx rates so low as to be confiscate ry If enforced. " Pbe lews providing ratio* for trans? portation of pasengors and freight In th t two cases under consideration ha 'e nenr. held by the courts below to 1?-- so low as to substantially coi'fls cat< ry and should therefore not be enforced un*ll af?er further trial The courts had Jurisdiction to make such an order." 'The proceeding 1c Young's eise grew out of an effort by the Minne? sota federal court on May 31 last ti restra n Mr. Young snd nlher State facials from cxecut'tifc or ^ewptsng to execute the rate law. Certain stock holden of the Northern Pacific Rail? way ""company filed aa suit at that iliee. asking for on Ir.Junctlcn to pro? hibit the State officials from carryl \g the law into effect. "The 'njunctlon was granted on the ?m???.d ?hat the lew w:ts ccnflscator. and Its promulgation was Immediately foilowel by the commencement of an action by Attoiney Gererul Young In tho Ramsa> count/ State district co?irt In which that c mi t war asked to dir ?et the Issuance cf n writ of mandamus com man ;lng Ii?'? Xoithern Pacific company to comply with the rate law. The S'dte c mrt immediate? ly issued the writ In compliance with Mr. Yo'ng's petlhon. 'Mr. Young was xummoncl before the federal court to give an account of his dHlu-tce of the rourt'a inlunc tlon, and he was subjected to a fine of $100 for contempt of eourt ar.d at th l same time ordered to dismlsH tho ca?e In the State court. * Refus.'ng elthei to Day the fine or to dismiss the case. Mr. Young brought the case to the supreme court of the company were In effect United Statfs on a petition for a writ Of habeas corpus. He based his peti- j tion on the grounds that the United States circuit oourt was Without Juris? diction in the original'7 proceedings because there wea no diverse citizen? ship and that the suit Instituted against him a3 attorney general was in effect a suit against the State arid not against him. "The North Carolina ease, that of Sherih* Hunter of Buncombe county, versus Agent Wood of the Southern railroad, attracted much attention during the greater part of last sum I me?, and was for a time the cauj?e of a ?'ery sharp conflict between th 2 I courts of the United States and those J of North Carolina. Wood ?was in I dieted, found guilty and sentenced to serve a term of 30 days on the rock pile at Asrheville on the charge of sell? ing railroad tickets for more than the maximum rate established by the statute. He appealed to Judge Pritch urd, sitting in the United St jtes?cir Iculi court for the Western district of iNoith Carolina, and the latter prompt I ly issued a writ of habeas corpus or I derlng Wood released. "This action of the r.ourt was the culmination of several important rteps In the controversy beginn'ng with the I isauanc3 of injunctions by Judge Pritchard against the State officials I prohibiting the parrying of the rate law into effect This proceeding was follow ;d by an address of ?icv. Glim I to the *up? rier ?outt?? of th? State I questioning Pr'tcbr.rd's authority and asking them to see that indictments I were found against th j agents ?f the railroad company. In accordance with I this address a number ??f nrr-*ts were j made. >o that Wo'd g ease became a Itest case for many others. "So importai t old .lud?? Frltcharl |corald*r th- action of the Statu au? thorities that he ?nid in hi* opinion 'if the criminal prosecutions against I the agon:s, conductors und tmp'oves I are to b_* permitted tl contir ue, the Lpva-nagers of the railroads cannot suc? cessfully operate their trains, carry I the mal'* or c ?ntli.ue tneir usefulness I as common carrl? rs 1 dng an inter? state business." Considering the North Carolina case Mo hr/o been disposed of bv tue ac It Ion of the cot rt In the Minnesota lease, Justice Peck ham did not elabo I rate hi* views In the former proceed? ing. Ho said: ' I "Belag detained In custody by vir I tue of this conviction io the police I courts 3f the State he demanded the I right to apply for a wr.t of .habeas I corpus; the right to apply for a .writ I of habeas corpus to the United States Ictrcut Judge and that judge bad pow I er to Issue the writ and discharge the I prisoner under section 763 of. the re vised statutes ef the United States, as I ho was then In custody for an act I done juruauart t--. an order, process I or decree of a court or judge of the I Un ted States. The writ being prop? erly issued, the jjdge had the right, land It was his duty, t> examine Into I the facts and had jurisdiction to dls I charge the petitioner under the clr I cumst vp.c* 8 " Justice Harlan, in a dissenting opin I ion took str*ong ground in support of I the theo'y that the proceedings In the I Young case was a suit ag:.inst the I State and therefore not permissible I under the constitution. He closed his I statement In * following words: I Neither thas* words nor the policy I of the eleventh ameni.r.ent will un I der our former decision Justify any |ord?r of a federal cou?*t the r.eee^nary I effect of which would be to keep a stata fr un Iti own e.ojrt. Such an Iorder attended by tuen result* cannot. I submt*. be sustained consistently ?nh the powers which the states ac Iending o the uniform declarations o? I this cou 't, porsess under the constl I tutlon. I am justified by what thl* j. ourt hu? heretof .-re de? la^erf that the J arpj* men who framed the <*/onstitu I tioii und who caused the adp>ti>n f the eleventh amendment would have been startled by the suggestion that a state of the Union can be prevented by an order of a oubordinate federal court from being represented by Its attcrney general In a suit brought by the Statj in one of Its own courts, and that such an order would be ln I consistT?it with the dignity of the States as Involve!
