That the tax was discriminatory by

by the railroads. They also asserted
the four per cent levy on gross intra-
state earnings was confiscatory.
The federal district court OF Ohio
held the law to be constitutional. but

The Pennsylvania mine safety" Law

declared valid today by the supreme
court, in test case brought by the
Plymouth Coal Co. against State In

The Plymouth Coal company Of In.
zerne county. Pennsylvania, squarely
challenged the ccnstimtionality of the
law. 1t asserted that the law was un.
reasonable exercise Of the states po-
lice power and that it could miae coal
as it saw fit without interference from
state officials. The officials secured
an injunction against the company,
the Pennsylvania courts upholding the
law. The law provides chat owners of
adjoining coal mines must so mine
their coal as to leave coal pillars
along adjoining property as supports
for the roof, to protect miners in case
OF explosion or floods. The law gives
the state mine inspector authority to
prescribe the size and strength Of the
pillars.
