Black Believed to Have

NLRB TEST IS REFUSED

Tribunal Backs Lower Body In Forcing W. Virginia Firm to Negotiate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U. P.) — The Supreme Court, with Justice Hugo L. Black apparently participating for the first time, today refused to undertake a review of constitutionality of delegation of power to the Securities and Exchange Cominission. The Court's action in the SEC test had been awaited with special interest since it involved the use of SEC powers to subpena telegrams

sent to and by a group of Florida

securities dealers, Participation Not Revealed

Justice Black's participation in the Court's decision was not directIv announced by the Supreme Court. However, the list of Supreme Court orders contained no notation that he did not participate. Since a note declaring Justice Black did not participate in the Court's determinations was appended to the list last week, its absence this thought to indicate Justice Black has entered fully into his Court duties, Participation by Justice Black in the SEC case had been awaited with

once the object of a somewhat similar legal attack when he was Chairman of the Senate Lobby Committee. Seizes Group of Wires

The Lobby Committee, aided by the Federal Communications ‘Commission, seized a group of telegrams sent to and from Hearst paper officers. William Randolph Hearst charged in a court suit that the action was unconstitutional and was upheld by the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals. The SEC case involved similar legal issues since the Florida securities dealers charged that the SEC sought the telegrams for a “fishing expedition.” The denial of the SEC attack was the court's principal action today. The Court announced that it world recess from Monday, Oct. 25 to Monday Nov, 8. Presumably the time will be spent in ‘writing

The tribunal also refused to review a Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decision upholding a National Labor Relations Board order directing a West Virginia manufacturer to bargain collectively with employees alleged by the company to have been discharged prior to enactment of the Wagner act. The action came when the Court denied the petition of the Jefferv-Dewitt Insulator Co. of Kenova, W. Va, for a review of the Circuit Court ruling. A petition of Lever Brothers, soap manufacturers, for a review of a Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision holding the firm liable for infringement of patents held by (he Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co. and Proctor & Gamble Co. was denied.
