Rail & River Coal Co. v. Yaple

The plaintiff, a West Virginia corporation, a large producer of coal and employer of mine laborers, of whom there are more than 45,000 in Ohio, assails the constitutionality of the Ohio law of February 5, 1914 (104 Ohio Daws, p. 181), entitled “An act to regulate the weighing of coal at the mines,” and asks for an interlocutory injunction against the defendants, who constitute the Industrial Commission of Ohio, to prevent them from enforcing and attempting to enforce any of the provisions of such act. The act, in so far as it need be considered, is set forth in the margin.1
