Opinion of the Court
Starting with the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in City of Atlanta v. Chattanooga Foundry & Pipeworks, 127 Fed. 23, 61 C. C. A. 387, 64 L. R. A. 721, as the foundation, this complaint has been examined at leisure and with due care. If any doubt could have been entertained after reading the words of the distinguished writer in that case, it has, to my mind, been dissipated by the later expressions delivered by the higher federal courts.
As things now stand, it would be flying in the face of the higher powers, with a vengeance, to accept as valid any of the criticisms launched against the complaint. If the facts therein alleged can be sustained by proof, a case will be presented which will invoke the aid of a federal, rather than a state, court. The situation is so absolutely one-sided as to satisfy me that no good purpose would be subserved by an extended discussion and citation of authorities.
Let the demurrers, one and all, be overruled.
