National Labor Relations Board v. Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaning Co‪.‬

This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing, for lack of federal jurisdiction, a claim brought under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 as one involving requisite amount in controversy and arising out of federal law. The suit sought to quiet title to and recover damages for the taking of a strip of land in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, formerly part of a railroad right-of-way over a Creek Indian allotment. The trial Court did not think that the "necessary allegations" of the complaint stated a claim arising under federal law. We cannot agree.
