Syllabus

<p>1. Injunction — Power of Federal Courts — Restraining Action by State Railroad Commission.</p> <p>A federal court, where it has jurisdiction by reason of the diverse citizenship of the parties and the federal questions involved, has power to grant an injunction to restrain a state railroad commission from putting in force an order the effect of which would be to cause damages to complainant for which an action at law would furnish no adequate remedy.</p> <p>2. Same — Preliminary Order — Review.</p> <p>On an appeal from an order granting an injunction pendente lite before issue joined, where it appears that the cause is one involving controverted questions of fact, the court will not enter upon the merits to determine whether the injunction was improvidently granted.</p>
