Congress Advised to Leave Coal Bill to Courts
Washington July 4 The attorney general declined to give a flat ruling on the Guffey coal stabilization bill’s constitutionality. He urged Congress to leave the question to the courts, while noting arguments in favor of passage. The subcommittee discussed speeding action before wage contracts with the United Mine Workers expire. John L. Lewis had paused strikes at Roosevelt's request to allow time for action. The bill would create a national coal commission and impose a 25 percent tax on mine sale prices, with a 99 percent drawback for compliant operators.
