Restrictions of Loan Act Upheld by Court
The West Virginia Supreme Court upheld the small loan act restrictions, ruling a Clarksburg firm acted illegally in directing borrowers to spend loans with designated merchants. It refused to halt criminal prosecutions against Cash Service Corp, which issued wage assignments up to $50 and paid borrowers 90 percent, with a 10 percent coupon tied to merchant purchases. The court said the contract clause does not bar usurious contracts that oppress the needy and clash with public policy.

State Producers Open Fight on Foreign Coal in Canal Zone Markets
West Virginia coal producers launch a campaign against foreign coal competition in Canal Zone markets. Rep Andrew Edmiston asks the war department to require the Panama Railroad Company to permit fair competition at Canal Zone fueling stations. He plans to seek a ruling from Secretary Woodring to allow American operators to supply coal from German and local mines at Canal Zone coaling stations, noting the Canal Zone falls outside coal act regulation. American producers claim they now hold practically all West Indies business after a period of decline.
