KOHLER ACT IS
INTERPRET TED BY
SUPREME COURT
Was Passed to Prevent
Subsistence Of Service
Structures in the Anthra-
cite Coal Regions.

washington. Dec. 1.-THE Koh-
Ter act of 1921. by which the leg
islature of Pennsylvania sought TO
prevent the subsistence of service
structures in the anthracite region
around Scranton, was construed in
the supreme court todaT in a case
brought by the Pennsylvania Coal
company against II. j. Mahon and
Margaret Craig Mahon.
The Mahons owned the surface
under a deed which expressly re-
served to the company the right to
remove all coal under it. the Ma
hons assuming the risk of subsid-
ence and waving all claims Tor
damages that might arise from the
mining of the coal.
The state courts held that the
Kohler act which made II a crime
to cause subsidence of structure
by anthracite mining, applied TO.
such property and decided against
the company.
The statute admittedly destroyed
previously existing rights of prop
erty and contract, Justice Holmes
stated in delivering the opinion of
the court. to which Justice Bran
deis dissented. After discussing the
police power on states. Justice
Holmes stated that when it reaches
certain magnitude II can only
proceed through the exercise Of
eminent domain with entailed COM
pensation.
While ordinarily private affairs,
such as the ownership of piece
of property, cannot be permitted
to interfere with pablo interest \
damage to a house is not public
nuisance, the Justice said, even
though similar damage is inflicted
on others in different places.
"The damage is not common or
public he explained. THE stat
ute was not justified. he stated,
as a protection of personal safety.
The konler Taw purports to ahol-
jsh, the court asserted. what is rec
ognized in Pennsylvania as an es-
tate in iand--a very valuable es-
tate. "As applied TO the case be-
fore 1t the court found that there
was not sufficient public interest
to warrant the state through the
kohler act to interfere with the
company in its constitutionally
protected rights"
At the request of the state for a
construction of the general valid
ity Of the act, the court. in order |
that its position may be known at
once stated that the "act cannot |
be sustained as an exercise OF the |
police power, so far as 1t affects !
the mining of coal under streets or
cities in places where the right to
mine such coal has been reserved, !
TO make 1t commercially '-,prac-
ticable to mine certain coal has
very nearly the same effect for
constitutional purposes as appro- |
prlating or destroying it. This, we
think that we are warranted in as
suming tnat the statute does"

icaily shown there says Miss
Toomhs. AT time when there is
such great Industrial and social I'M
rest they discussed the problems OF
industry. They listened. for example,
to girls in industry as they told that
the entrance Of wellto-do girls into
business and industry, for a careers
sake; is lessening the jobs for the
working girl. Here in the South
where the inter-racial question is
acute. a negro bishop and Southern
white woman spoke from the same
platform. Realizing the problem OF
world peace is a burning issue of the

Women hold unique place i'm the
