Jobless Tax Case In Federal Court
The Rathbell Coal Company of Preston County asks the Supreme Court to decide if it is liable for unemployment compensation taxes during a United Mine Workers strike. The state seeks $3,680.55 additional for last quarter 1847 while the firm requests a refund of $2,584.90 for the first three quarters. The company argues it bears no responsibility for idle time from April 8 1846 to May 13 1846 and that unemployment benefits paid to its independent union workers should be covered by the state fund, not raise the company tax. Workers received $15,048.47 in benefits.

Paul Brown balked at letting the line cross his vacant lot, citing future basement excavation concerns. George Buzzard cited about 200 dollars to service his lot, while city manager C. S. Waud said the city saved roughly 14,000 dollars on the project.

Rubber Railroad belt line bill killed by Ohio House
The Ohio House committee voted 12 to 4 to indefinitely postpone the conveyor belt plan to move coal and iron ore between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Opponents warned of job losses and land seizures while backers argued costs would drop. The measure would grant public utility status to condemn land for a Lorain East Liverpool route serving Cleveland and Youngstown mills.

Senate Eyes Slice of Education Aid in Tax Plan
Washington The Senate debates a 2.3 billion federal education grant bill and considers trimming funds for states that do not need or want aid. Senator Tydings proposes preserving aid only for states with education spending below the national average. Republican Wherry warns the amendment may delay passage while Myers predicts final approval soon. An attempt by Senator Lodge to attach a civil rights amendment fails, with opponents arguing it would kill the bill and harm Negro schoolchildren. Senator Stumphrey voices support for education despite opposition to segregation.
