Supreme Court backs Texas ban on sweet gas use for carbon black
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a 1935 Texas law prohibiting the burning of sweet gas for carbon black. The Henderson Company challenged the rule, arguing it would wipe out a carbon black contract and amount to taking private property, but Justice Brandeis said the statute is not arbitrary and applies equally to all sweet gas wells. The decision affirms lower court findings that the law uses gas in commerce and preserves gas designation powers, with sweet gas limited to light, fuel, or chemicals other than carbon black.
