Tribunal Test Case From State of Washington.

FEATURES BUSY SESSION

Refuses to Hear First Appeal Srought Under Wagner Act.

Ly United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The Supreme Court today stood by its much criticised decision of last spring which held that New York State was without power to regulate ! the minimum wages of working women, At the same time the court ac-! cepted for argument a test of a similar law of the state of Washington. It was thought that the Washington case might provide an amplification of the principles presented by the court in the New York

dealgion > Highlights Busy Day

The wage law decisions were highlights of a busy day in which the court refused on technical grounds to hear the first test brought before it of the National Labor Relations Act, a case involving the Bradley Lumber Co. of Arkansas. Other tests of the act are | virtually certain to be heard by the court this fail. The court granted an appeal by the government in which it is fighting against going to trial in all the test suits brought against the utilities holding company act. Accepted a test case involving the Chaco neutrality resolution and said virtually to affect present neutrality legislation. Refused to entertain a projected test of the new Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage act, on technical grounds, and refused to reconsider its de- | cision of last term holding the municipal bankruptcy act invalid.

In standing by. its decision of last

spring in the New York minimum wage case, the court rejected the ~ joint plea of the states of New York, Illinois and Massachusetts. The effect of this denial was to

Followed Guffey Ruling The court's decision in the New , York case came just after it ruled in the Guffey Coal Control Act test case that the Federal government | could not regulate wages and hours of labor within states. It then decided by a five-to-four -majority that women’s wages could not be regulated by states in the interest of public health and morals. "The Washington law accepted for test today was attacksd by the West Coast Hotel Co. when a chambermaid in its Cascadian Hotel at Wenatchee brought suit for back wages due under the minimum wage law. _ The Superior Court of Chelan County ruled the law unconstitutional but the state Supreme Court . reversed this finding.

ANGLO- SOVIET PACT BRINGS GERMAN NOTE

Protest Against Increase of “Russian Navy Made, Is Report.

NAVAL THREAT IS SEEN

British Express ‘That Germany May Add Submarine Strength.

Kurt Von Schuschnigg, dictator of Austria, tells “why Austria must be armed.” Page 3.

(Copyright, 1936, by United Press)

LONDON, Oct. 12—Germany delivered a note to Great Britain today which it was understood implies that Germany will feel constrained to enlarge her substantially if the pending AngloSoviet naval pact is signed. The note was delivered to the Foreign Office by the German charge d'affaires, Prince Von Bismarck, and the naval attache, Admiral Erwin Wassner. ‘The Anglo-Soviet naval pact permits Russia to build seven cruisers with 7.1-inch guns, which is above the cruiser building limit agreed to in the British-French-United States treaty of last March. The exception is made for Russia because the other powers already possess heavy cruisers which the Soviets lack. Russia also would. be permitted to build two big battleships mounting either 14 or 16-inch guns.

May Add Submarines

The German note lodged the strongest objections against the draft of the Anglo-Russian treaty— yet to be signed—and indicated it is Adolf Hitler's opinion that if it becomes operative, it would upset the naval balance of Europe, especially in the Baltic. Germany therefore would require adjustment of her June, 1935, naval treaty with Britain. The latter treaty allowed Germany a total tonnage equal to 35 per cent of Great Britain’s, but granted her 45 per cent in submarines . and per-

to build to 160'per cant of Biitan's Jub - rine strength. Some experts surmised that today's note might be an implicit threat to give. notification of Ger--many’s, intention to build a submarine fleet equal to Britain's if the Anglo-Soviet treaty becomes operative. However, the United Press understood that no such notice was contained in the note.
