MINIMUM PAY CASE
TO SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Asked to Invalidate
Washington State Law on
Women's Wages.
Rv the Associated Press

Rv the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court was asked yes
terday to invalidate Washington
States minimum wage law for wom-
en-, which is similar to a New York
statute dclared unconstitutional in a
5-to-4 decision by the high tribunal
last June.
The Washington law was challenged
by the West Coast Hotel Co. OF
Wenatchee. Wash, which protested
against paying S2l6 to Mrs. Elsie
Parrish, a chambermaid.
She contended that sum was the
balance due her for 50 weeks work
under State regulations fixing Sl450
as the minimum weekly wage for en-
ployes in the public Housekeeping
industry"
The Washington law was upheld by
the States Supreme Court, which de-
livered its ruling two months before
the United States Supreme Court in
validated the New York statute The
Chelan County. Wash. Superior Court
previously had rejected Mrs. Parrish's
claim, holding the act unconstitu-
tional
The Supreme Court generally is ex-
pected to decide early in October
whether it will review the Washington
case and whether it will grant a re-
hearing of the New York minimum
wage test

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 18.-Rep-
resentative landowners of Eastern Ar

Futrell's proposal for a Southwide
conference to discuss the sharecropper
situation, but they did not agree on
the merits of the system.
II am for any plan that will better
our people," declared D. B. Woolard,

However, I think the sharecropper
system is good. A good sharecropper
under q good landlord has the best
opportunity to get ahead of any day

r. B. Snowden, jr. who has so fam
lilies on his 1,000-acre plantation near
Hughes, Ark, said:
IT hope it will be another step near
er to breaking up the tenant farmer
system. The small unit home-owned
system is the ideal we should work
for"
Another Hughes landowner, ]. o. E.

said:
IT think the Governor intends to
strive for plan whereby tenants and
poor people could buy land. I don't

BERLIN, August l8-By making a

Vaterland achieved a total of 81 gold
medals, which mean something, as
compared with plenty, which means
nothing. This practically amounts to
shutout, and the Vaterland is cele-

Jesse Owens, Finland, Japan, ETC., etc.
