An injunction duly issuing out of a court of general jurisdiction with equity powers, upon pleadings properly invoking its action, and served upon persons made parties therein and within the jurisdiction, must be obeyed by them, however erroneous the action of the court may be, even if the error be in the assumption of the validity of a seeming but void law going to the merits of the case.

Error to state court — Federal question decision on non-Federal ground. 3. The question of the validity, under the Federal Constitution, of the Kansas Industrial Relations Court Act, is not so involved as to justify review in the Federal Supreme Court of a decision of the highest court of the state, upholding a conviction for violation of an injunction order forbid ding the calling or causing of a strike, where, although deciding the constitutional questions, the court also held that, even if the injunction was erroneous, jurisdiction was not thereby forfeited, that the error was subject to correction only by the ordinary method of appeal, and that disobedience to the order constituted contempt, especially since the injunction suit was not the enforcement of the Industrial Relations Court Act, but was a proceeding wholly independent of that act, and the court, in entertaining it, did not depend on the constitutionality of that act for its jurisdiction or the justification of its order.

See same case below in No. 154, 107 Kan. 423, 191 Pac. 585; No. 491, 109 Kan. 376, A.L.R., 198 Pac. 686.

The facts are stated in the opinion. Mr. Redmond S. Brennan argued the cause, and, with Messrs. John F. McCarron and Frank Bonar Hegerty, filed a brief for plaintiffs in error:

The district court of Crawford county was without jurisdiction to issue the injunction in this cause, and could not therefore punish a disregard of it as a contempt. An injunction which is void because issued by a court without jurisdiction may be treated as having no existence, and as a denial of due process under the 14th Amendment.

There can be no contempt in this case because the act, chapter 29, Kansas Special Session Laws of 1920, seeking to create the Kansas court of industrial relations, is void on its face as an arbitrary, oppressive, unreasonable, and unjust discrimination, in violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The act seeking to create the court of industrial relations is void, as against the 14th Amendment, because it is a penal statute that is too vague, indefi nite, and uncertain, and an unlawful restraint on interstate commerce.

Oklahoma Operating Co. v. Love, 252

The Industrial Court Act violates § 4 of art. 4 of the United States Constitution, in that it commingles the functions of the three great departments of the government, and is therefore a denial of a republican form of government, and of due process.

Stout, 136 Ind. 53, 22 L.R.A. 398, 35 N. E. 683.

The Kansas Court of Industrial Relations Law is a void attempt to legislate on matters of exclusive Federal jurisdiction. It is elementary that, where the Federal government has exercised control in cases within its jurisdiction, the state, although at liberty to legislate prior to the assumption of control by the Federal government, is thereafter precluded. The act in question contravenes the Clayton Act of October 15, 1914, and the Lever Act of August 10, 1917.

The Kansas Court of Industrial Relations Act is void as an abridgment of the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the United States, as guaranteed under the Federal Constitution.
