Bin his decision Judge Hand said: ■-The suspension of a law of the waited States, especially a law in exeEimi of a constitutional amendment, ■[of itself an irreparable injury which |<i judge has the right to ignore. The Lldie purposes, which the law was Blended to execute, have behind ■iem the deep conviction of thousands ■ persons who should not be thwarted kt that they conceive to be for the ■kblic good. E'Xo reparation is osihle if it is. ■rthermore, it is at best, a delicate Batter for a judge to tie the hands ■ other public officers in the execu■n of their duties as they understand ■em and the books are full of admonlons against doing so, except in a fry clear case. "Here not only a a case not clear, nt so far as I can judge, plaintiffs ave no case. Therefore, I will go o further than to issue an injuncon against interfering with the carage of a stock necessary tor the Tew's rations on the east bound voyge. Plaintiffs must each give a bond n the sum of $25,000 conditional gainst the use of such stock for any ither purpose than are proved ralons.” It was indicated that the regulations living formal notice to all shipping ntercbts that the ban is now in efect. would be issued today or tomorow by Secretary of the Treasury Melon. These regulations have been modiled so as to eliminate the provision, ropesed by the prohibition bureau, eizure and forfeiture of both Amerian and foreign vessels found to have iolated the ruling. According to information here, the hipping interests are expected to lake their appeal direct to the Supreme Court of the United States if away can be found for such action and the department of justice will aid in expediting the case so that a final decision may be obtained as soon as Possible.
