Railroad Company Will Take It to United States Supreme Court.
Scranton, Pa., July 11. — Papers were signed here preparatory to taking an appeal in the celebrated Shallen miners' certificate case to the supreme court of the United States. The Delaware & Hudson company is the real appellant.
The attack on the validity of the certificate act has been successfully defended in the local, superior and supreme courts of this state, although in the superior court the company gained a ruling that residence in the anthracite region was not an essential qualification, such a requirement being in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, in that it discriminated against residents of other states. This advantage was lost when the company went into the supreme court in an effort to have the remainder of the act declared unconstitutional. By going to the federal supreme court the company hopes to regain this lost advantage, and also to defeat the whole act.
