Legal Attack Fails in First Test of Guffey Coal Stabilization Act
Washington, Sept 16. In the DC district supreme court Justice O Donaghue denied a request for an injunction against the Guffey coal stabilization act. James W. Carter sought to halt enforcement contending unconstitutionality while government representatives argued the case should proceed. The judge noted the commission to administer the act was not yet appointed and that taxes on operators would not begin before November 1. A final hearing could occur late this year or early next with a US Supreme Court path likely.

Dock Workers Union Refused Recognition at New Orleans Port
Renewed attempts by the International Longshoremen's Association to gain recognition at the New Orleans port and for wage increases were decisively rejected by steamship company executives. M. A. Dwyer of Galveston, Gulf Coast head of the ILA, received the setback from Thomas Rice, Galveston chairman of a joint labor committee of Mousten and the Galveston Cotton Exchange. The existing contract is held by the Louisiana Longshoremen's Association, a state-chartered body not affiliated with the ILA, and the agreement has one year remaining.
