Mr./np Justice/np Black/np was/bedz one/cd of/in the/at minority/nn that/wps rested/vbd on/in the/at Article/nn-tl 1/cd-tl ,/, power/nn ./.

If/cs this/dt seems/vbz arbitrary/jj ,/, its/pp$ effect/nn was/bedz to/to treat/vb citizens/nns of/in the/at District/nn-tl of/in-tl Columbia/np-tl equally/rb with/in citizens/nns of/in the/at states/nns --/-- at/in the/at expense/nn of/in expanding/vbg a/at troublesome/jj jurisdiction/nn ./.



Federal/jj-hl question/nn-hl jurisdiction/nn-hl 
For/in almost/rb a/at hundred/cd years/nns we/ppss relied/vbd upon/in state/nn courts/nns (/( subject/jj to/in review/nn by/in the/at Supreme/jj-tl Court/nn-tl )/) for/in the/at protection/nn of/in most/ap rights/nns arising/vbg under/in national/jj law/nn ./.
Then/rb in/in 1875/cd ,/, apparently/rb in/in response/nn to/in the/at nationalizing/vbg influence/nn of/in the/at Civil/jj-tl War/nn-tl ,/, Congress/np first/rb gave/vbd the/at lower/jjr federal/jj courts/nns general/jj authority/nn --/-- concurrently/rb with/in state/nn tribunals/nns --/-- to/to decide/vb cases/nns involving/vbg federal-right/nn questions/nns ./.
One/cd purpose/nn of/in the/at change/nn was/bedz to/to attain/vb sympathetic/jj enforcement/nn of/in rights/nns insured/vbn by/in the/at Civil/jj-tl War/nn-tl amendments/nns against/in state/nn interference/nn ./.
Serious/jj difficulty/nn arose/vbd with/in the/at advent/nn of/in Substantive/jj-tl Due/jj-tl Process/nn-tl ./.
An/at amendment/nn ,/, presumably/rb designed/vbn to/to deal/vb with/in the/at problems/nns of/in newly/rb freed/vbn slaves/nns ,/, became/vbd a/at ``/`` laissez-faire/jj ''/'' limitation/nn upon/in state/nn economic/jj policy/nn ./.
A/at flood/nn of/in federal/jj lower/jjr court/nn injunctions/nns seriously/rb impeded/vbd the/at processes/nns of/in local/jj government/nn ./.
Congress/np reacted/vbd with/in a/at series/nn of/in measures/nns modifying/vbg in/in various/ap ways/nns what/wdt it/pps had/hvd granted/vbn in/in 1875/cd ./.
In/in 1910/cd it/pps required/vbd the/at convening/nn of/in a/at special/jj three-judge/jj court/nn for/in the/at issuance/nn of/in certain/ap injunctions/nns and/cc allowed/vbd direct/jj appeals/nns to/in the/at Supreme/jj-tl Court/nn-tl ./.
Such/jj legislation/nn was/bedz clarified/vbn and/cc extended/vbn from/in time/nn to/in time/nn thereafter/rb ./.
In/in 1913/cd an/at abortive/jj provision/nn was/bedz made/vbn for/in the/at stay/nn of/in federal/jj injunction/nn proceedings/nns upon/in institution/nn of/in state/nn court/nn test/nn cases/nns ./.
The/at essential/jj ineffectiveness/nn of/in these/dts measures/nns resulted/vbd in/in 1934/cd in/in substantial/jj elimination/nn of/in federal/jj jurisdiction/nn to/to enjoin/vb state/nn public/jj utility/nn rate/nn orders/nns ./.
Three/cd years/nns later/rbr similar/jj restraints/nns were/bed imposed/vbn upon/in injunctions/nns against/in collection/nn of/in state/nn taxes/nns ./.
This/dt saved/vbd for/in state/nn adjudication/nn ,/, in/in the/at first/od instance/nn ,/, the/at two/cd major/jj areas/nns where/wrb federal/jj injunctions/nns had/hvd been/ben most/ql obnoxious/jj ,/, but/cc other/ap areas/nns remained/vbd vulnerable/jj ./.


	Meanwhile/rb ,/, the/at Supreme/jj-tl Court/nn-tl ,/, like/cs Congress/np ,/, showed/vbd misgivings/nns concerning/in this/dt aspect/nn of/in government/nn by/in injunction/nn ./.
Drawing/vbg upon/in the/at traditional/jj discretion/nn of/in the/at chancellor/nn ,/, Mr./np Justice/np Holmes/np introduced/vbd a/at series/nn of/in self-imposed/jj judicial/jj restraints/nns that/wps culminated/vbd in/in Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter's/np$ famous/jj doctrine/nn of/in abstention/nn ./.
Whereas/cs the/at earlier/jjr cases/nns turned/vbd rather/ql narrowly/rb upon/in the/at availability/nn of/in adequate/jj state/nn remedies/nns ,/, the/at new/jj emphasis/nn is/bez upon/in the/at nature/nn of/in the/at state/nn policy/nn at/in issue/nn ./.
The/at classic/jj case/nn is/bez Railroad/nn-tl Commission/nn-tl v./in-tl Pullman/np-tl ./.
The/at commission/nn had/hvd issued/vbn an/at administrative/jj order/nn which/wdt was/bedz challenged/vbn as/cs discriminatory/jj against/in Negroes/nps ./.
Its/pp$ enforcement/nn was/bedz enjoined/vbn by/in a/at federal/jj trial/nn court/nn ./.
On/in review/nn the/at Supreme/jj-tl Court/nn-tl ,/, via/in Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter/np ,/, found/vbd southern/jj racial/jj problems/nns ``/`` a/at sensitive/jj area/nn of/in social/jj policy/nn on/in which/wdt the/at federal/jj courts/nns ought/md not/* to/to enter/vb unless/cs no/at alternative/nn to/in adjudication/nn is/bez open/jj ''/'' ./.
An/at alternative/nn was/bedz found/vbn in/in the/at vagueness/nn of/in state/nn law/nn as/in to/in whether/cs the/at offending/vbg order/nn had/hvd in/in fact/nn been/ben authorized/vbn ./.
Reluctant/jj ,/, as/cs usual/jj ,/, to/to interpret/vb state/nn legislation/nn --/-- such/jj interpretation/nn can/md only/rb be/be a/at ``/`` forecast/nn rather/rb than/cs a/at determination/nn ''/'' --/-- Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter/np led/vbd a/at unanimous/jj Court/nn-tl to/to vacate/vb the/at injunction/nn ./.
But/cc it/pps is/bez crucial/jj that/cs here/rb ,/, unlike/in Burford/np ,/, the/at trial/nn court/nn was/bedz ordered/vbn to/to retain/vb the/at case/nn until/cs the/at state/nn courts/nns had/hvd had/hvn a/at reasonable/jj opportunity/nn to/to settle/vb the/at state-law/nn question/nn ./.
``/`` The/at resources/nns of/in equity/nn are/ber equal/jj to/in an/at adjustment/nn that/wps will/md avoid/vb the/at waste/nn of/in a/at tentative/jj decision/nn as/ql well/rb as/cs the/at friction/nn of/in a/at premature/jj constitutional/jj adjudication/nn ''/'' ./.


	Temporary/jj abstention/nn ,/, i.e./rb ,/, postponement/nn ,/, is/bez one/cd thing/nn ;/. ;/.
refusal/nn to/to adjudicate/vb is/bez another/dt ./.
To/in the/at extent/nn that/cs the/at jurisdictional/jj principle/nn of/in 1875/cd stands/vbz unmodified/jj by/in subsequent/jj legislation/nn ,/, federal/jj equitable/jj relief/nn against/in state/nn action/nn must/md be/be available/jj --/-- or/cc so/rb it/pps seems/vbz to/in Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter/np ./.
In/in Alabama/np-tl Public/jj-tl Service/nn-tl Commission/nn-tl v./in-tl Southern/jj-tl Ry./nn-tl Co./nn-tl ,/, the/at commission/nn had/hvd refused/vbn to/to permit/vb abandonment/nn of/in certain/ap ``/`` uneconomic/jj ''/'' train/nn facilities/nns ./.
The/at railroad/nn ,/, claiming/vbg deprivation/nn of/in property/nn without/in due/jj process/nn of/in law/nn ,/, sought/vbd injunctive/jj relief/nn ./.
The/at Court/nn-tl held/vbd that/cs federal/jj jurisdiction/nn should/md not/* be/be exercised/vbn lest/cs the/at domestic/jj policy/nn of/in the/at state/nn be/be obstructed/vbn ;/. ;/.
this/dt in/in the/at name/nn of/in equitable/jj discretion/nn ./.


	Justices/nns-tl Frankfurter/np and/cc Jackson/np concurred/vbd in/in the/at Court's/nn$-tl result/nn ,/, for/cs they/ppss found/vbd no/at merit/nn in/in the/at railroad's/nn$ claim/nn ./.
But/cc they/ppss objected/vbd vigorously/rb to/in the/at proposition/nn that/cs federal/jj courts/nns may/md refuse/vb to/to exercise/vb jurisdiction/nn conferred/vbn in/in a/at valid/jj act/nn of/in Congress/np :/: 

	``/`` By/in one/cd fell/jj swoop/nn the/at Court/nn-tl now/rb finds/vbz that/cs Congress/np indulged/vbd in/in needless/jj legislation/nn in/in the/at acts/nns of/in 1910/cd ,/, 1913/cd ,/, 1925/cd ,/, 1934/cd and/cc 1937/cd ./.
By/in these/dts measures/nns ,/, Congress/np ,/, so/cs the/at Court/nn-tl (/( in/in effect/nn )/) now/rb decides/vbz ,/, gave/vbd not/* only/rb needless/jj but/cc inadequate/jj relief/nn ,/, since/cs it/pps now/rb appears/vbz that/cs the/at federal/jj courts/nns have/hv inherent/jj power/nn to/to sterilize/vb the/at Act/nn-tl of/in 1875/cd against/in all/abn proceedings/nns challenging/vbg local/jj regulation/nn ''/'' ./.


	A/at most/ql revealing/jj recent/jj case/nn is/bez Textile/nn-tl Workers/nns-tl Union/nn-tl v./in-tl Lincoln/np-tl Mills/nns-tl ./.
The/at Taft-Hartley/np-tl Act/nn-tl gave/vbd the/at federal/jj courts/nns jurisdiction/nn over/in ``/`` suits/nns for/in violation/nn of/in contracts/nns between/in an/at employer/nn and/cc a/at labor/nn organization/nn representing/vbg employees/nns in/in an/at industry/nn affecting/vbg commerce/nn ''/'' ./.

How/wrb can/md judges/nns exercise/vb jurisdiction/nn to/to enforce/vb national/jj rights/nns when/wrb Congress/np has/hvz created/vbn none/pn ?/. ?/.
The/at Court/nn-tl held/vbd that/cs Congress/np had/hvd intended/vbn the/at federal/jj judiciary/nn to/to ``/`` fashion/vb ''/'' an/at appropriate/jj law/nn of/in labor-management/nn contracts/nns ./.
In/in short/jj ,/, congressional/jj power/nn to/to grant/vb federal-question/nn authority/nn to/in federal/jj courts/nns is/bez now/rb apparently/rb so/ql broad/jj that/cs Congress/np need/md not/* create/vb ,/, or/cc specify/vb ,/, the/at right/nn to/to be/be enforced/vbn ./.


	The/at Lincoln/np-tl Mills/nns-tl decision/nn authorizes/vbz a/at whole/jj new/jj body/nn of/in federal/jj ``/`` common/jj law/nn ''/'' which/wdt ,/, as/cs Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter/np pointed/vbd out/rp in/in dissent/nn ,/, leads/vbz to/in one/cd of/in the/at following/vbg ``/`` incongruities/nns ''/'' :/: ``/`` (/( (/( 1/cd )/) conflict/nn in/in federal/jj and/cc state/nn court/nn interpretations/nns of/in collective/jj bargaining/nn agreements/nns ;/. ;/.

or/cc (/( 3/cd )/) exclusion/nn of/in state/nn court/nn jurisdiction/nn over/in these/dts matters/nns ''/'' ./.
The/at Justice's/nn$-tl elaborate/jj examination/nn of/in the/at legislative/jj history/nn of/in the/at provision/nn in/in question/nn suggests/vbz that/cs Congress'/np$ purpose/nn was/bedz merely/rb to/to make/vb unions/nns suable/jj ./.
With/in a/at few/ap exceptions/nns ,/, the/at lawmakers/nns seemed/vbd unaware/jj of/in the/at technical/jj problems/nns of/in federal/jj jurisdiction/nn involved/vbn --/-- to/to say/vb nothing/pn of/in the/at delegation/nn of/in lawmaking/jj power/nn to/in judges/nns ./.
To/to avoid/vb these/dts constitutional/jj difficulties/nns ,/, Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter/np was/bedz prepared/vbn to/to read/vb the/at Taft-Hartley/np provision/nn as/cs concerned/vbn with/in diversity/nn ,/, rather/rb than/cs federal/jj question/nn ,/, jurisdiction/nn ./.
This/dt would/md satisfy/vb what/wdt presumably/rb was/bedz Congress'/np$ major/jj purpose/nn --/-- the/at suability/nn of/in unions/nns ./.
It/pps would/md also/rb leave/vb intact/jj the/at states'/nns$ traditional/jj authority/nn in/in the/at realm/nn of/in contract/nn law/nn ./.
(/( As/cs we/ppss have/hv seen/vbn ,/, the/at Erie/np and/cc York/np decisions/nns require/vb federal/jj courts/nns in/in diversity/nn cases/nns to/to follow/vb state/nn decisional/jj rules/nns ./.

And/cc let/vb it/pps do/do its/pp$ own/jj lawmaking/nn and/cc not/* leave/vb that/dt to/in federal/jj judges/nns ./.
Does/doz Lincoln/np-tl Mills/nns-tl suggest/vb that/cs if/cs Congress/np granted/vbd jurisdiction/nn over/in interstate/jj divorce/nn cases/nns ,/, the/at federal/jj courts/nns would/md be/be authorized/vbn to/to fashion/vb a/at national/jj law/nn for/in the/at dissolution/nn of/in marriages/nns ?/. ?/.


	There/ex is/bez a/at common/jj problem/nn behind/in most/ap of/in these/dts federal/jj question/nn and/cc diversity/nn cases/nns ./.
Congress/np has/hvz not/* clearly/rb defined/vbn the/at bounds/nns between/in state/nn and/cc federal/jj court/nn competence/nn ./.

A/at careful/jj student/nn has/hvz suggested/vbn that/cs ``/`` In/in any/dti new/jj revision/nn (/( of/in the/at Judicial/jj-tl Code/nn-tl )/) the/at legislators/nns would/md do/do well/rb to/to remember/vb that/cs the/at allocation/nn of/in power/nn to/in the/at federal/jj courts/nns should/md be/be limited/vbn to/in those/dts matters/nns in/in which/wdt their/pp$ expertise/nn in/in federal/jj law/nn might/md be/be used/vbn ,/, leaving/vbg to/in the/at state/nn judiciaries/nns the/at primary/jj obligation/nn of/in pronouncing/vbg state/nn law/nn ''/'' ./.
Obviously/rb ,/, the/at goal/nn here/rb proposed/vbn is/bez the/at guiding/vbg principle/nn in/in Mr./np Justice/np Frankfurter's/np$ opinions/nns --/-- to/in the/at extent/nn that/cs Congress/np leaves/vbz the/at problem/nn to/in judicial/jj discretion/nn ./.

Federal/jj-hl review/nn-hl of/in-hl state/nn-hl decisions/nns-hl 
With/in few/ap exceptions/nns ,/, Congress/np has/hvz not/* given/vbn federal/jj courts/nns exclusive/jj authority/nn to/to enforce/vb rights/nns arising/vbg under/in federal/jj law/nn ./.
To/to put/vb it/ppo differently/rb ,/, state/nn and/cc federal/jj courts/nns have/hv concurrent/jj jurisdiction/nn with/in respect/nn to/in most/ap claims/nns of/in federal/jj right/nn ./.

It/pps may/md be/be noted/vbn ,/, parenthetically/rb ,/, that/cs to/to evade/vb ``/`` desegregation/nn ''/'' an/at ex-Justice/nn and/cc former/ap southern/jj governor/nn has/hvz urged/vbn Congress/np to/to abolish/vb this/dt reviewing/vbg authority/nn ./.
The/at result/nn ,/, of/in course/nn ,/, would/md be/be that/cs federal/jj law/nn inevitably/rb would/md mean/vb different/jj things/nns in/in different/jj states/nns ./.
It/pps would/md also/rb probably/rb mean/vb different/jj things/nns within/in the/at same/ap state/nn --/-- depending/in upon/in what/wdt court/nn (/( state/nn or/cc federal/jj )/) rendered/vbd decision/nn ./.


	We/ppss consider/vb here/rb only/rb a/at few/ap of/in many/ap problems/nns involved/vbn in/in this/dt crucial/jj federal-state/nn relationship/nn ./.
The/at first/od is/bez that/cs enforcement/nn of/in national/jj law/nn in/in state/nn litigation/nn raises/vbz in/in reverse/jj the/at old/jj diversity/nn puzzle/nn of/in the/at relation/nn of/in procedure/nn to/in substance/nn ./.
Subject/jj to/in certain/ap constitutional/jj restraints/nns in/in favor/nn of/in fair/jj trials/nns ,/, each/dt level/nn of/in government/nn is/bez free/jj to/to devise/vb its/pp$ own/jj judicial/jj procedures/nns ./.
Litigants/nns who/wps choose/vb to/to assert/vb federal/jj claims/nns in/in a/at state/nn court/nn go/vb into/in that/dt court/nn subject/jj to/in its/pp$ rules/nns of/in procedure/nn ./.
A/at similar/jj canon/nn applies/vbz to/in those/dts who/wps press/vb state/nn claims/nns in/in federal/jj tribunals/nns ,/, e.g./rb ,/, in/in diversity/nn cases/nns ./.
In/in an/at FELA/nn controversy/nn the/at state/nn court/nn followed/vbd established/vbn state/nn procedure/nn by/in construing/vbg a/at vague/jj complaint/nn ``/`` most/ql strongly/rb against/in ''/'' the/at complainant/nn ./.
In/in other/ap words/nns the/at burden/nn of/in pleading/vbg clearly/rb rested/vbd upon/in the/at pleader/nn by/in state/nn law/nn ./.
The/at result/nn was/bedz that/cs the/at plaintiff's/nn$ case/nn was/bedz dismissed/vbn ./.
Mr./np Justice/np Black/np led/vbd a/at reversing/vbg majority/nn :/: ``/`` Strict/jj local/jj rules/nns of/in pleading/vbg cannot/md* be/be used/vbn to/to impose/vb unnecessary/jj burdens/nns upon/in rights/nns of/in recovery/nn authorized/vbn by/in federal/jj law/nn ''/'' ./.
Here/rb ,/, as/cs in/in the/at Byrd/np case/nn ,/, another/dt element/nn of/in state/nn procedure/nn was/bedz subsumed/vbn to/in federal/jj judge-made/jj law/nn ./.
Justices/nns-tl Frankfurter/np and/cc Jackson/np dissented/vbd :/: ``/`` One/cd State/nn-tl may/md cherish/vb formalities/nns more/rbr than/cs another/dt ,/, one/cd State/nn-tl may/md be/be more/ql responsive/jj than/cs another/dt to/in procedural/jj reforms/nns ./.
If/cs a/at litigant/nn chooses/vbz to/to enforce/vb a/at Federal/jj-tl right/nn in/in a/at State/nn-tl court/nn ,/, he/pps cannot/md* be/be heard/vbn to/to object/vb if/cs he/pps is/bez treated/vbn exactly/rb as/cs are/ber plaintiffs/nns who/wps press/vb like/jj claims/nns arising/vbg under/in State/nn-tl law/nn with/in regard/nn to/in the/at form/nn in/in which/wdt the/at claim/nn must/md be/be stated/vbn --/-- the/at particularity/nn ,/, for/in instance/nn ,/, with/in which/wdt a/at cause/nn of/in action/nn must/md be/be described/vbn ./.
Federal/jj law/nn ,/, though/cs invoked/vbn in/in a/at State/nn-tl court/nn ,/, delimits/vbz the/at Federal/jj-tl claim/nn --/-- defines/vbz what/wdt gives/vbz a/at right/nn to/in recovery/nn and/cc what/wdt goes/vbz to/to prove/vb it/ppo ./.
