That the railroad are sore is frank ly admitted. They declare that they have been badly used, and that in ef fect they were clubbed into becoming a party to the agreement effected at Raleigh. The petition presented to Judge Pritcard covers about JG typewritten pages wherein the inci dents of the past several days are recited, including the correspondence between Governor Glenn and Solici tor Brown. One railroad attorney declared tat never before in the United Stat'"--had such a disorderly proceeding taken place, under the forms of law. ns the compelling of the railroads to Relinquish their legal rights under threat of more serious things hap pening to them. The railroads declare, is effect that they were clubbed into becoming par ty to the agreement effected at Ral eigh: that the public mind has been inflamed by the newspapers ana ine utterances of politicians and that the agreement was only assented to un der duress, .because of threats of an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of adopting 'legislation hostile to the railroads. The request to make changes indi cated in the petition was granted by Judge Pritchard, wlio in making the revised order said : "The applications now made li modify the injunctions heretofoie granted in these causes present a con dition of affairs unprecedented in the judicial annals of this country. "After a full and complete hear ing of the matters raised by the pleadings in these causes, injunction?, pending a hearing of the questions involved in the original suits, were granted. The court, 111 granting such injunctions, followed the course pur sued by the Supreme Court of the United States in iiie cases of Smitii vs Ames, Reagan vs. Farmers Loan & Trust Comoanv. Cotting vs. Kan- afis Stock Ya.-l Com-.any and Pio it ve. Starr, and by ine circuit courts of tiie United Slates in numerous other cases. "The effect of the order restraining the eornoration commission of 2sorth Cure Una. et al. was to preserve the rights of the parties until the master ti whom this caube had been reierrtu could have an opportunity to repoi the facts and .thereby enable the I. to correctly determine wheth er the act in question is confiscatory, end in order to protect the traveling public, the complainants were requir ed to c-ive ample bond and securitj o x .... to secure the payment into the regis try of the court a sum sufficient to pay the difference between the pres- ent rate and the proposed iaie i-t those who might in the meantime purchase tickets. "The defendants could nave ap pealed from my order granting ft temporary injunction, but they fail ed to do so. Instead of appealing in these cases, they filed an answer, and the causes were, then and there re ferred to a master in order that tho evidence might be taken. "It is unjust to say that the ques tion of States rights is involved in this controversy. . It is equally un just to insist that what the court has done in the premises was an interfer ence 011 the part of the Federal Court with the State courts However, on the other hand there has been a mani fest disposition on the part of the State officials to interfere with the Federal Court in its procedure to do equal justice between the complain ants and the detendants and 111 1113 exercise of those powers necessarily incident to the protection of its juris diction. "If this kind of obstruction should pevail and the citizens are thus to be denied the lights guaranteed .them by the constitution of the United States, then those provisions of the constitution would become a aeaa let ter as there would be no means enforcing thein." After referring to the interlocu tory . injunction, the argument and opinion in the habeas coipus proceed ings the judge said: "I feel no doubt as to the sound ness of these views as to the jurisdic tion of this court or its right and duty to enter the interlocutory de cree 'or, in order to protect the juris diction of this court, to discharge oi habeas corpus the persons who had been arrested by the authorities for compliance with tie orders of this coart.
