Constitu tionality of the Antraclte Tax Law of 1021, the major revenue act of the Inst legislative session nml counted upon te add millions te the Income of the Commonwealth, was upheld by the Dauphin County Ceuit today. The decision Is signed by the three Judges sitting ns chancellors, and gees exhaustively Inte the arguments heard late lust year and the litigation ever the similar net of 1013. declared un constitutional by the State Supreme Court. , ,. Steps for collection of the tax of 1 Vi per cent nd valerem for the last half of 1021 have been in progress at the Auditor General's Department, the blanks for the reports having been sent out some time nge, and the tax will be collected until an nppeal, which It is reported will be taken by the com plainants, Is made n supersedeas. The jveried for coal companies te re port their production expired en .Inn nary !50, but the Auditor General Is empowered te grant a liftccn-day ex tension, which will be done. Philadelphia!! Began Suit The action decided today was tmnielieil in the form of n bill ill equity te lest ruin nsscfsment and collection of the tax bv officers of the Themas Col liery Company, the Auditor General and State Treasurer, the plaintiff being Reland C. Helnler. of Philadelphia, a shareholder of the company. Attorney General Geerge K. Alter ar gued the case for the Commonwealth. The coal tax lnw occupied much atten tion in the lust session nnd peeple con nected with cool companies predicted at the time of its passage prolonged litigation te test constitutionality. In the. decision the Court adepts the view that anthracite and bituminous coal are different commodities. ludgc llargest's Opinion President Judge William M. Hargest in his opinion said, in part : "We find that anthracite coal differ from bituminous coal in U.s physical properties, namely, the amount of fixed carbon, the amount of volatile matter, color, luster and structural chnraeter. "The percentage of fixed carbon In anthracite is much higher and the per centage of volatile matter much lower thnn in bituminous coal. Anthracite coal is hard, compact and comparatively clean and free from dust, while bituminous cenl is potter, dusty ami dirty. (Defendant's fifth request for finding of fact.) "The fuel rata of bituminous coal I fliffers from thai of anthracite coal.

PHILA. MEN TO APPEAL COAL TAX LAW RULING I Phihdelpliln members of the An thracite Producers' Association said to day, the Dauphin County Court's dec laration that the anthrncitc tax law is constitutional undoubtedly would be appealed te the State Supreme Court. '.'This is net te lie regarded ns con clusive," said one of the largest pro ducers of anthracite In the State. "We will nppeal te tlie Supreme Court, und I believe this law will be overturned just as was the Hoeney Ceal Tu I-w of 11)15." The present bill, known ns the Williams Illll. is the third piece of legis lation te go en the Pennsylvania stat utes providing a tax en anthracite as a revenue raiser.
