In Washington the court ruled the 1935 railway pension act and the companion tax measure unconstitutional, blocking taxes on railway payrolls and employer wages and enjoining the railroad retirement board from any pension payments. The ruling brands the tax and pension laws inseparable parts of a single scheme and cites the Alten decision. An appeal to the D C Circuit is planned.
