Far Pacific Air
Link Effective
By End Of Year

SYDNEY. June 26. (UP)-By
the end of 1897 the worlds larg-
est flying boats, carrying as pas
sengers, will be traversing in five
days the tranS-Pacific trail first
blazed by Sir Charles KingSford-
Smith and Ulm.
This has been made certain by
the successful termination of Is
months of negotiations between
the New cZaland government
and the Parliamentary ArwayS.
During the course of these ncgo-
tiations, the paramount consider
alton of the New Zealand govern
ment was to safeguard British
interests not only actual but po-
tential.
However, the agreement finally
reached grants PERMISSION to
Pan-American to operate flying
boats for 10 years to Auckland,
the service to be operated with
out subsidy or other financial as
sistancc from the New Zealand
government. The final link be-
tween New Zealand and this city
temporarily will be operated clth-
er by q British or an Australian
company.
FORTNIGHTLY SERVICE
To begin with, there will be
only q fortnightly service winch
later will be increased to week
lv service, assurance having been
given that during the period OF
the concession no discriminatory
tax will be levied against chc
American concern in favor OF
any British or Australian concern
that might seek to inaugurate Il
similar service. ,..
In other words, an "opcn road
policy for British and American
aircraft on the trans-Pacific route
has been agreed upon. Bases to
be constructed by the Pan-Amer-
lean Always will be available for
Imperial Airways. the British
concern, when it is ready to be-
GIN operation.
Extension of the Pan-American
air service from Auckland, New
Zealand, to Sydney, is expected
when the Imperial Airways enters
upon the field of operations. ,
If present plans for additional
services are adopted, it will be
nossibIc TO flv from Sydney 20
San Francisco by way of Ne"
Zealand and Guam in six days
and by way of New Zealand alone
in five days. When the Dutch
service from Java to Manila Is
in operation, Australia will be
within nine days from the United
States by that route.

"Unh." His grunt was afhrma-

as if to go, eyeing the last of the

at him.
Suddenly Carolee entered the
tent and came back with her box
of candy, politely offering it to
him. It was the large box from
Stewart Blake, still more than
half full.
Percy eyed it a moment, then
his face shone. He reached out

Carolee was taken aback, and

HIGHEST COURT
WAGE RULING
LIKELY SOON
Mystery Of Delay On
Decision Excites
Wide Interest
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Although overshadowed by the
national labor cases, the mystery
of Supreme Court delay in decid-
ing constitutionality of the State
of WaShington's minimum wage
law for women excitBd wide in
tereSt today.
This interest was heightened by
the possibility that the nine JUS
tices, who entered their secret
Saturday conference today, might
reach an agreement on both the
minimum wage and Wagner labor
law cases. The court will meet
Monday to announce decisions.
The wage case has been under
consideration by the high court
for three and a half months, an
unusually long time for debate
upon the validity of law Of that
character.
All Believed Hostile
The mystery was intensified be-
cause lawyers and observers came
away with the impression that all
the Justices thought the law was
unconstitutional under past de-
cisions on State minimum wage
covering a 20-year period.
Under the Washington law,
minimum wages were fixed on a
reasonable cost of living basis with
service included Counsel for the
West Coast Hotel Company, which
attacked the law, contended it was
plainly ruled invalid by the high
courts 5-to-4 decision in the New
York minimum wage case last
year, and previous cases.
Stones Absence a Reason
One explanation for delay was
the absence of Justice Harlan F.
Stone, when the case was argued,
because of illness. The delay gave
rise to the possibility of another
5-to4 decision on the question Of
the constitutional right of States
to fix minimum wages for women,
and the effect of such a decision
on the fight over the Roosevelt
court expansion program.
Less than three months OF the
present eight-month term remain
before adjournment. The court Is
expected to adjourn June !.
