be inaudible at the rear of the chamber. In the courtroom for the proceedings were nearly 500 persons, although the capacity of the austere formal chamber is a scant 350. Many stood at the rear of the room.
Avoided Any Deviation
The high court jurists appeared to observers to have sought so far as possible to avoid any deviation from the ordinary formalities of the opening day of the term. The Chief Justice's exact words as the Court opened were: “Hugo L. Black of Alabama, a former member of the United States Senate, who has been nominated to this Court and has been confirmed by the Senate, has presented his credentials. He has already taken his oath in the form required by law.” ' “The first hurdle has been jumped,” Mr. Levitt said, as he left the Supreme Court building. “Today’s action is very positive in my favor.” ° Providing an off-stage echo but heightening the drama, was a 24-year-old Birmingham Jew making a hasty journey from his home to Washington. He was Jerome Cooper, until Saturday a clerk in the Ho. S. District Court at Birmingham. His mother, Mrs. M. B. Cooper, announced that a member of Justice Black's staff had telephoned him and asked him how he would like to be the new Justice’s law clerk. He liked it and left last night to take the job. : Post Highly Prized The post of law clerk to a Supreme Court Justice is prized by young lawyers as offering unusual opportunities to learn. Mr. Cooper is a graduate of the Harvard Law School. Hig appointment completes Justice Bldck’s staff, which comprises his woman secretary of years standing, a Catholic, and a Negro messenger, also a Catholic. Justice Black’s radio speech made it plain that he considered himself a fully qualifie ember of the Court and that he planned to take his seat despite demands that he resigh and charges of prejudice and bigotry. The demands and charges continued over the week-end. But Justice Black’s supporters were equally ready to defend him and his stand on the Klan controversy. President Roosevelt, on his way home from the West Coast, still had no comment to make on the defense of his only appointee to the Supreme Court. He will not arrive in Washington until Wednesday, thus making impossible the Court's usual procedure on its opening day.

day operating methods were more exacting in their requirements, more productive of strain and fatigue. Carriers replied that operating empioyees’ earnings increased automatically as train speeds increased. Brotherhood representatives cited the increased productivity of modern highspeed operating methods, and railroads replied this increased productivity resulted from increased expenditures by carriers. The employees charged that living costs were rising and they were therefore entitled to more income. Carriers contended that operating employees were earning more than in 1929. Embloyees said it was the duty of industry to maintain the purchasing power of labor, and that labor was entitled to a greater share of the earnings of industry. The carriers contended that many roads had undergone great financial strain and were unable to absorb any further increase in expenditures. Many roads showed deficits in 1936 and others were in receivership, their representatives said.

3500 Here to Get Rail Wage Boost
Approkimately 3500 Indianapolis employees of séven railroads will receive wage increases totalling $714,000 through the agreement between the ‘Big Five” unions and
the managements, Martin Miller, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen state representative, announced today. : Mr. Miller said this estimate was “conservative.” The figure was based on an average monthly increase of $16 for each employee, according to Mr. Miller. He said that nearly all “operating” employees affected by the agreement who work on divisions through Indianapolis are local residents. Only four of the five large unions are affected locally, it was said. They are the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The Switchmen’s Union of North America has less than a dozen members here and holds no contracts in the state, Mr. Miller said.
