Sweeping injunction ties up state rate law in court order
Judge Godren of the United States Court issued an order in the Northern Pacific case sweepingly restraining the State and all persons from enforcing or attempting to enforce any part of the act's rates while the case proceeds. The decree bars every individual and entity from actions or suits alleging violations, with county attorneys and others warned to stay hands off the railroads during the injunction. Similar orders are to follow in eight other cases, and officials threaten to contest it in higher courts, potentially delaying final resolution for years. The piece also notes a Dyspepsia Tablets advertisement inserted amid the legal report.
