The petition On behalf of six
applicants for admission to the

a halt after argument. in spite
of the fact that this was On an

The implication Of the decision
is that since the Tennessee legis-
lature has passed bill to provide
for the professional education OF

school has no standing in court,

gro workers in these yards increased
from 6.03 per cent to 8.O8 per cent

phia, which had been averaging &c
