NICHOLAS L. STOKES and Others, Constituting the Members of the Di v. sional Code Authority No. 4 for the Retail Solid Fuel Industry, Plaintiffs,

MILLER, J.

The determination or finding by the Divisional Code Authority, as approved by the administrative appointee, fixing the lowest reasonable cost, is a matter which vested in the discretion and good judgment of the Divisional Code Authority. This determination cannot be interfered with by the courts unless it is arbitrary or contrary to law. The court cannot substitute its judgment for that of the Code Authority.

I find no evidence of an abuse of power or an arbitrary disposition of the matter by the Code Authority. The evidence supports the findings of the Code Authority to the extent at least of showing that its determination was not arbitrary or so unreasonable as to show an abuse of discretion. There is no evidence here of a conspiracy or of collusion on the part of the members of the Code Authority.

I hold that the National Industrial Recovery Act ( 48 U.S. Stat. 195; U.S. Code, tit. 15, § 702 et seq.) and the State act (Laws of 1933, chap. 781) are constitutional. (See Sherman v. Abeles, 150 Misc. 497; affd., 241 A.D. 676; Nebbia v. New York, 291 U.S. 502; 54 S.Ct. 505; 78 L.Ed. 940; 89 A.L.R. 1469, affg. People v. Nebbia, 262 N.Y. 259.)

Revd., 265 N.Y. 383.

Judgment is directed for the plaintiffs. The injunction will restrain the sale or offering for sale of coal or other solid fuel products below the cost determined by the Code Authority.
