Description
This is an appeal in two cases involving the same questions and heard together below. The appellant, defendant below in both cases, is the United Fuel Gas Company, successor to the Warfield Natural Gas Company, with which plaintiffs, or corporations to whose rights they have succeeded, have contracts calling for the delivery of their entire production of fuel gas from certain properties. These contracts provide that the price to be paid for the gas shall be fixed by agreement at five year intervals and for arbitration in the event of the failure of the parties to agree. There was a submission to arbitration of the price to be paid for gas delivered during the five year period beginning November 1, 1945; and the arbitrators made a report which defendant gave notice that it would not accept but would endeavor to set aside. Plaintiffs thereupon instituted these suits asking that the awards be declared valid and enforced and that they have judgments for the amount due them to date under the terms of the award. From judgments in favor of plaintiffs (see Columbian Fuel Corp. v. Warfield Natural Gas Co., D.C., 72 F.Supp. 839 and Columbian Fuel Corp. v. United Fuel Gas Co., D.C., 72 F.Supp. 843) defendant has appealed, claiming that the court was without jurisdiction and that the awards are invalid.
