HIGH COURT OPENS
TERM TOMORROW
Conditions Different From
Last Year When Black
Controversy Ragged.
Z. the Associated Press.

E8 the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court will begin its
1888 term tomorrow amid conditions
contrasting sharply with those that
ushered in the 1887 session.
1t was one year ago last night
three days before he took his court
seat-that Justice Black delivered a
radio address in which he said he
had been a member Of the Ku Klux
Klan, but had resigned.
This intensified a controversy that
had ragged for weeks over revelations
Of Justice Blacks former Klan con-
nection.
There also were continued roper
cussions from the long congressional
battle over President Roosevelt's pro-
posal to reorganize the judiciary.
But the new term of court begins
in an atmosphere of tranquility. Only
two justices described by Roosevelt
men as 'conservative"-M
and Butler-remain on the tribunal.
The principal discussion of the
Supreme Court nowadays centers
around the likely successor Of Justice
Cardozo. who died last July.
There is widespread belief that
President Roosevelt will make no
nomination until Congress convenes
next January.
When eight justices march into
the courtroom tomorrow. they will
be confronted by approximately 400
cases, including a challenge Of the
Tennessee Valley Authority Act and
several disputes involving interpreta-
ton Of the National Labor Relations
Act.
Two Observation-Disclosures E. Wise
and Ray B Moss-told the court
yesterday State could act but once
on the proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish child labor. They
presented brief challenging the right
OF Kentucky to ratify the amendment
in 1887 after rejecting it in 1925.
Their brief preceded oral arguments
on the controversy to be made within
a few days. The Supreme Court con-
sented last spring to review the case
and similar one from Kansas.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals
agreed with the two men, who brought
suit as citizens and taxpayers. State
offllals appealed to the Supreme Court.

CARR|ERSCOUNTER
PAY CUT CHARGE
Lawyer Alleges Proposal
Is Conspiracy to Check
Recovery.
ry the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
A labor lawyers charge that the
proposed railway wage cut is part of
a conspiracy to check recovery and
discredit the administration was coun-
tered yesterday by carrier testimony
that the roads face \ financial crisis
threatening their very existence.
Both contentious were advanced be-
fore the special fact-finding board ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt in an
effort to avert a Nation wide rail
strike.
Tom Davis, counsel for the Brother
hood Of Railroad Trainmen, said the
IS per cent wage reduction proposed
by rail arrangements was only the be-
ginning Of drive to slash wages in
every industry in the Nation"
THE effort Of the railroads to force
cut in wages is directed and con-
trolled by Wall Street and the rail-
road bankers" declared the attorney.
The demand is only part and parcel
OF a Nationwide conspiracy to cut
wages OF every worker in the land, to
delay and prevent recovery and to dis
credit the administration"
viii Show Control.
I'VE will show the devious trail of
banker control Of the railroads of this
Nation and will show you the looting
OF the American railroad systems by
the financial houses Of Morgan &
Co.. Kuhn, Loeb Co. and other in
vestment bankers"
Mr.. Davis was followed by DR.. j,
H. Parmelee, director of the Bureau
OF Railway Economics of the Associa-
ton of American Railroads.
He said the railways predicament
was due to 'the continued severeness
Of the 1898 depression" following
seven lean years of reduced traffic and
inadequate earnings.
Impoverished railroads cannot pro-
vide the efficient, dependable trans
portation SO essential to commerce and
the national Defense" DR.. Parmelee
declared.
Says Revenue Smaller.
During the first eight months of
1888. total operating revenues were
smaller by 20 par cent than in the
same period OF 1887, while net rail-
way operating income decreased 50
per cent. The carriers this year, dur
ing those same eight months. failed
to earn their interest and other fixed
charges by sl82 100000"
DR.. Parmelee called attention to
the fact the rate Of return on inyesL-
ments, ''on an annual basis" during
these eight months. averaged less
than l per cent, decline from 2.56
per cent earned in the corresponding
period Of 1887.
Railway financial results are far
below what they should be by any
normal standard, and far below what
they must be if the industry is to
survive" he said Railroads must
hold their operating costs within
reasonable limits, he added.
If the railroads continue in their
present impoverished condition, such
situation will have an adverse ef-
feet on the general economic struc-
ture; on their ability to maintain or
increase their working forces; and
on business conditions throughout
the United States"
The fact-finding board, which is
scheduled to report to the President
on October ~, will resume hearings
tomorrow. The strike already voted
by rail workers against the wage cut
will te held in abeyance by law until
80 days after the report is made.
