Oleomargarine Tariff Weighs On Supreme Court Repeal Hope
Old tax on oleomargarine faces repeal as a constitutional question lingers about state tariffs on out of state goods. The piece notes the North defended tariffs to protect dairies and consumers, while the South supplied butter substitutes. The Supreme Court upheld the law’s validity, but momentum builds for repeal amid calls on political lines. The writer, James Thrasher, analyzes Speaker Joe Martin’s coal strike settlement and its political implications for John L. Lewis and labor policy. The piece casts doubt on a Martin landslide and hints at ongoing labor tensions through June.
