Subsiding floodwaters left six dead and one missing today in the dust-swept sector of three states where rain prayers were said just a fortnight ago.

Justices Roberts, Van Devan-ter, Sutherland and McReynolds sided with Butler. $12.40 Per Week The legislation had been challenged by Joseph Tipaldo, Brooklyn laundry manager, who was indicted for forgery in an alleged attempt to conceal violation of the law. He won his freedom on a writ of habeas corpus. The law fixed the minimum wage for women laundry workers at $12.40 a week. It was enacted and signed by Governor.

Herbert Lehman in 1933. A similar law for the District of Columbia was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court 13 years ago. New York attorneys said, however, their statute took into account the value of services rendered while the district law dealt only with the cost of living in determining the minimum wage. The majority opinion today held that the law violated the "due process" clause of the constitution in that it deprived persons of the right to make contracts. This was similar to the grounds given in the action 13 years ago.

In the NRA and Guffey coal cases, the court also had overturned efforts of the federal government to provide for minimum wages.

The executive's action freed Harold Eastman of Columbus from the Mansfield reformatory where he was serving a sentence of 3 to 30 years for assaulting George Hensel, a company employe, with intent to maim. Hen sel, riding on a truck, was hit by a stone. The trouble occurred in Vinton county.

Those released earlier (April 21) were: Ross Siler, Otto Corsen, Charles Fleming, Doyle Shaeffer, Claude Muck, and Bernard Eb-recht all of Lancaster.

Admitted last Nov. 21, they were serving indeterminate sentences. At that time Davey said the board of paroles urged commu tation of the sentences.

Somerset Perry County Sheriff Ready To Prevent Any Trouble SOMERSET, (Special) Perry-co sheriff's deputies and members of the American Legion post stood ready today to nrevent any clash between the Perry-co Milk Producers' Association and Russell Snyder, an independent dealer, who have been at odds for two years.

It is reported that O. L. Groves of the Arnold Dairy Company, Somerset, representative of the producers' association told Snyder that the Association will gather 500 pickets from surroundr ing Perry-co towns and prevent Snyder from making his regular deliveries tonight. Sheriff James Adrian told Snyder he and his deputies would guard his farm against any violence regardless of the nature. Members of the association, informants learn, plan to raise their price today from seven cents to 10 cents a quart.

Snyder is charging eight cents a 'quart. The blockade, dealers believe, will probably result in Snyder increasing his price or joining the association. The war began when the Burk milk control law was invalidated. Dealers then were selling milk at 10 cents a quart. Snyder dropped his price to eight cents.

The producers association retaliated by slashing the price to five cents and giving away a free bottle of a popular soft drink with each quart. Recently the combined dealers have been charging seven cents, but Snyder's prices has stayed at eight. Liaht's Out!
