JUSTICES CONSIDER

Action Involving S. &. C

Challenge on Black.
BACKGROUND

Hugo L. Black, then Senator,
gained his greatest fame Uhen his
Lobby Investigating Committee in
1885 seized telegrams uhich it
thought Would aid its inquiry. The
District Court OF Appeals ruled
that Senate committee lacked
this right OF seizure. The telegram
case tohich comes before the
Supreme Court no1u NTH Justice
Black member is somewhat
different.
By the Associated Press.
Supreme Court justices met today
to decide whether to pass on litigation
involving the right of the Securities
Commission to subpoena kilograms.
This case produced speculation over
whether Justice Black would par.
ticipate and, if so, whether attorneys
would have grounds for challenging
the decision.

If the Supreme Court denies a re-
view. If it consents to pass on the
controversy there will be arguments
followed by written opinion.
This lower court opinion was one
of about 80 placed before the justices
for consideration at the regular Satur-
day afternoon conference. Action in
all probably will be announced Mon
day.
One of the others involves an at

by the National Labor Relations Board
holding the company guilty Of unfair
labor practices under the Wagner

Appeals.
During the last week Black has
sat with the court daily listening to
attorneys argue various cases. Al
though all the other justices asked
frequent questions, Black remained
silent.

SHANGHAI, October l6.-Japanese
authorities staged a dramatic demon
stration today of alleged Chinese use
Of poison gas.
Fifty foreign correspondents were
assembled in the Office Of the Japanese
consulate general to receive an an
nouncement which they had been told
would be so momentous it had to be
made on Japanese territory.
They were shown a shell which
emitted evil smelling fumes which the
japanese asserted was phosgene smoke.
Lieut.. Col Hajime Tani of the jap
anese Chemical Corps declared the
shell contained sufficient poisonous gas
to kill the entire roomful
Chinese reiterated their denial that
they were using poison gas They de-
clared a demonstration such as the
Japanese gave would be possible in
any high school chemical laboratory.
(The Japanese foreign Office in
Toxic earlier had declared it had
''indisputable proof" that the Chi
nese were using phosgene gas)
Seized in Surprise Raid.
An official spokesman In Shanghai
declared that six shells with unusual
red markings were seized October IA
by japanese surprise patrol north of
Shanghai.
Tests, the Japanese declared, proved
that the shells contained sufficient
poison gas to cause asphyxiation under
favorable conditions. Fumes arising
from the quantity left in the exhibit,
however, caused only a slight head
ache.
A spokesman said gas mask pre-
cautions saved the Japanese from
casualties.
Questioned whether neutral experts
participated in the tests of the al
legged Chinese shell, he replied that he
considered the Japanese charge suf-
flcient.
Lieut.. Col Tani lectured professor

A Chinese spokesman declared re-

today to smash Chinese lines at

NEW YORK, April 26.-General
Motors Corp. today reported a sharp
decline in first quarter earnings, but
announced output Of motor cars in
March rose to a new record.
Showing effects of the strike, net
earnings on the common stock for the
first quarter equaled 80 cents a share,
compared with SLIT a share for the
first quarter of 1886. Net earnings
available for dividends for the first
quarter totaled $44,8l4,166, compared
with $52,464,174 for the first quarter
last year.
Earnings were before deducting pro-
vision for surtax on undistributed
profits.
Alfred E. Sloan, jr., president, said
operating results for the quarter were
Importantly affected by the almost
complete stoppage of manufacturing
for nearly half the period. That being
the case, it is interesting to observe
that the organization was able to con-
troll expense and to resume manufac-
turing when permitted to do so, with
the result that the decline in earnings
was limited to reduction of approxi-
mately Is per cent, as compared with
the corresponding quarter of the pre-
vious year.
Dollar sales were substantially
equalled and the output Of motor cars,
the corporations principal product,
for the month of March established
a new record for all time"

This was equal to 81 80 cents share
and represented a gain of more than
80 per cent over the preceding like
period, he said.
Fogarty expressed confidence in the
future of the utility industry although
attacks on the industry may come
from quarters where generalization
often fails to distinguish good from
bad, but these cannot seriously retard
progress that is based upon economic
needs and sound constructive policies"
He said taxes increased faster than
operating revenue during the period
reported and that they were up nearly
1872 per cent compared with the pre-
ceding 12-month span. Such levies,
he said, amounted to 1461 cents out of
each dollar of operating revenue
against 1888 cents in the previous
period.

ported for the six months ended March

the same as those of March. Wood
said he doubted the balance of the

gain in profits seen in the first IL

profits was in prospect.
United Biscuit Co.
