Supreme Court rules on state railroad rate clash in Minnesota and North Carolina
The United States Supreme Court dismissed a habeas corpus bid by Minnesota Attorney General Young and freed Asheville ticket agent Jumea Wood from rockpile time after finding state power to set railroad rates conflicts with federal authority. Justice Peckham announced both opinions, with Justice Harlan dissenting in Young, warning the decision limits state courts and could harm state sovereignty. The Minnesota ruling centers on contempt for pursuing a state court rail rate enforcement after federal court restriction.
