Minnesota Supreme Court Invalidates State Railroad Law
United States Circuit Court for the District of Minnesota denies writ of habeas corpus to Edward T. Young of Minnesota for contempt of court after he refused to obey an injunction stopping enforcement of the maximum railroad rate law. The court also rules the Minnesota law regulating freight and passenger rates unconstitutional on its face. Justice Feckham announces the opinion. Justice Harlan dissents, arguing the ruling signals a new era in state federal relations and warns against federal courts imprisoning state officials to test state laws.
