Government Wins Victory In Guffey Coal Act Dispute
The Supreme Court declined to review the Guffey coal case and the amended agricultural adjustment act, marking two technical wins for the government. Solicitor General Reed was authorized to argue the Bankhead cotton control law’s validity as a friend of the court in a separate Texas case, Moor v railroad. The session also denied a milling company review and granted injunctive relief challenges related to processing taxes and the Guffey penalty tax.
