Court halts Trade Commission over coal cost reports
The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia ruled the federal trade commission lacked authority to enforce its order for monthly production cost reports from coal mines and other industries. Maynard Coal Company of Kentucky and Ohio obtained an injunction to stop penalties for noncompliance, with Justice Bailey deeming the commission's power vast and unprecedented and beyond Congress. The ruling limits visitorial power and requires a direct link to Congress-regulated subjects.
