Injunction Denied Over Guffey Coal Stabilization Act
Washington court refused a temporary injunction keeping the Guffey coal stabilization act from enforcement. James W. Carter of Carter Coal sought relief, but Justice O Donoghue ruled the move premature. The government argued no action harmed by the act yet and no appointed coal commission. In California, Nellie M. Madison’s death sentence was commuted to life by an order from Frank F. Merriam, delaying her October 4 hanging for murder of her husband.
