Rail retirement plan ruled unconstitutional by DC court
Justice Jennings Bailey of the District of Columbia supreme court declared the 1935 railroad retirement plan unconstitutional, ruling the pension and tax measures inseparable parts of one scheme. Railroads and other railway enterprises challenged July 1 implementation, arguing the plan and 34 percent wage tax and equal payroll tax exceed constitutional bounds. Attorneys argued the plan would reduce unemployment and boost efficiency by removing older workers.
