Court hears challenge to Guffey coal act as government defends law
On March 7 194? the Supreme Court faced a constitutional contest by 66 mine operators against Pennsylvania's Guffey coal act. The government led by Solicitor General Reed argued the measure could avert labor unrest if upheld, while operators led by John W Davis argued the law is wholly void and arbitrary. The case follows prior rulings in Carter and Tway, with arguments set to continue into next sessions.
