Oil probe ruled unconstitutional by Dauphin court
In Harrisburg on April 8 Judge John B. Fox of Dauphin County ruled an oil industry inquiry unconstitutional. The five member commission, created by a 1937 joint resolution, was barred from hearings and all further investigations. The injunction targets the commission’s $50,000 appropriation and directs audit officials to halt payments. The ruling affirms that such broad powers require a bill rather than a joint resolution and notes the commission would deny due process. The case was brought by Philadelphia citizen George W. Sendder, who argued a member was a competitor. Other details describe prior temporary injunctions and the scope of inquiries to refiners, producers, distributors, and retailers.
