Springer, comely young Brooklyn-lte, five years admitted to the bar, who is perhaps the first woman lawyer engaged In legal work for an important governmental Inquiry. Since early in March, when Miss Springer and Karl Miner were appointed counsel to the committee headed by Senator Royal S.

Cope-land to study the sea tragedy with the view pf recommending remedial legislation, the slender young Brooklyn woman has been quietly working night and day. She has made several trips to Washington and conducted examinations in her own law offices In the Wall Street district and in Mr. Miner's 5th Ave. offices. It has meant long and tedious questioning Into nautical technicalities and It has meant swinging swiftly into the vernacular of the seaman.

Gifted in Admiralty Law Such a task seems incongruous when we take a casual glance of Miss Springer, who is young and pretty and looks as If the most important thought In her blonde head would be her date for the evening. As a matter of fact, the slight young figure in trim navy blue la a gifted specialist In admiralty law. She Is associated in practice of regard as their rignts. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, hurled this threat while 18,000 work-ers In the Garden and 5,000 more "fchn lutunpd to him through ampli fiers outside cheered him to the echo. Demands Left No Doubt union men left no doubt as to how they stand on the President's "program when they demanded that NRA be extended for two years, as Mr.

Roosevelt had asked. "Its stabilizing influence Is necessary as part of the movement for a new day, a New Deal and a new freedom," Mr. Green declared In 'contending that the NRA should be permanent. holds that the National Industrial Recovery Act must not fcnd cannot be either abandoned or terminated until the NRA has it wnrtr finished its task and law as admiralty expert with one of the oldest and most conservative returned the millions who are still law firms In New York. Modestly hiding her light, Miss Springer requested the name of her law firm should not figure in the story, which Adele I.

"It is an old and important firm and never is publicized," Miss Springer said.

"I would not like the firm members to think I was exhibiting it." For that matter. Miss Springer was nretty caey about her own ac complishments. The preliminary realize how archaic our shipping laws are," Miss Springer said. Complicated technical language about shipping trips light from the tongue of the slim young woman lawyer. She specialized in admiralty law because she became fascinated In the workings of a ship on her way to study in Geneva.

Instead of wasting time sunning herself In a deck chair. Miss Springer was prowling around the interior of the giant ship taking her across the Atlantic. Modest and Retiring "I became very much interested in shipping on that trip and decided to take a course in admiralty law," she said. "The law of the sea entranced me and I took all the courses I could." Miss Springer Is modest and retiring about her success. She found admiralty law glamorous and continues to delve Into its mysteries.

She is Interested in philanthropy and has served as secretary of the lawyers' committee of the Junior Federation for the Support of Philanthropic Societies. "It had been a rather rough crossing," Miss Springer said, "and I was horribly shocked when th Morro Castle burned and took all those lives." Lost Friend in Disaster Miss Springer lost a close friend as a direct result of the tragedy. Mrs. Ida L. Brown of 1455 New York Ave, who died a few days ago, leaving four young children, was the last woman picked up out of the sea, after floating ten hours.

Her friend was the 135th victim of the Morro Castle tragedy. As an expert in admiralty law, Miss Springer drafted the Limited Liability bill, Introduced in the House by Congressman Slrovich and in the Senate by Senator Copeland, which will amend the steamship company's liability In tragedies at sea. This country, she pointed out, Is still operating under the obsolete laws of 1851 regarding liability. Calls Shipping Laws Archaic "Think how shipping has progressed In 84 years and you can work of the senate uommiuee is Just about cleared up now, she said, and a report will be made shortly to Senator Copeland. Studied Abroad Miss Springer was born and brought up in Brooklyn.

Her home is at 131 Van Buren St. and she is a graduate of St. John's Law School. She has also done post-graduate work in St. John's, Columbia University, the Geneva School of International Studies In Switzerland and the Academy of International Law at the Hague.

Her work in admiralty law has taken her across the ocean many, many times. Last vear she had made four trips to nnemployed back to work, is unthinkable that we should stop now. The protest of labor is nationwide. tt Is being made in every city and every community throughout the land." Charges Surrender He declared that an extension of the NRA for ten months as proposed by the Senate would mean T.no act at all," contending that (Tnostile employers of labor would Hot permit the act to function dur-. lng such a short period of time." He added that labor interprets the Sen-, tie's action as a "complete surrender" to the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers' Association and the reactionary forces of the nation.

The meeting, sponsored by the Central Trades and Labor Council affiliates, also demanded the adoption of the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill and the Black-Connery i'fo'-Hour Work Bill. 'I Scores Hoover fv In direct contrast to the high Siraise heaped on Mr. Roosevelt and lis program, Mr. Green and other abor leaders who addressed the meeting turned on ex-President Hoover for his verbal attacks on the New Deal. Mr.

Green characterized Mr. Hoover as a "discredited leader" and said that no matter what position the liberals in the Senate may take labor will "follow Roosevelt "and not Hoover." A significant development at the meeting was the failure of any one to protest against the relief wage 1 scale promulgated by the President. Buch a protest had been fully antlci-pnted. While this meeting was in progress Borne 6,000 left-wing members of the A. P.

of L. congregated in Union equare and listened to an assort- tnent of orators whale away at the relief wage scale and the Wagner bill. Father Coughlln and Senator Long also came in for condemnation, being characterized as "incipient fascist leaders." About 100 bluecoats were on hand Just in case.
