They plan a determined attempt, however. Immediately after the decision, they set about carving away the parts of the act the Supreme Court held invalid. It was the court’s somewhat tender treatment of the price fixing features in the act which gave them encouragement | that something might be saved. | The Guffey act proposed to give |mine owners, in conjunction with |Government and labor, authority to |fix the price of coal at a level ! which would permit a profit to lowners and better wages to the ‘ miners. A 13% per cent penalty tax ! |per ton was assessed against non- complying owners. Certain guaran- | tees for labor also were to be en-| forced by the penalty tax. r l PRICE FIXING NOT OUTLAWED | The, majority of thie court held | |that the tax was obviously to co»l erce compliance with the lnbcrl phases, and so, out of bounds.
