ENJOY INTERVAL HERE
WHEN ENGINE ACTS UP
Nineteen p;isscnt;ers of a north
bound United Mnlnliner were ground
ed hero for a few hours yesterday
afternoon when the plane returned
to port because of a smoking engine.
No oil leak could be found In
A check ot the olrport here, and
the plane was flown to Oaklnnd
this morning 'or a re-chrcklng. It
was announced by Max C. Hemic,
United manager.
The Malnliner left Med ford mu
nicipal olrport for Portland at 1:13
p.m.. and returned nt 1:45. It was
out of port about 15 minutes when
smoke started Issuing from the port
engine. Taking no chances, Capt.
Todd Foster, in charge of the ship.
Idled the motor and returned to
Med ford on the starboard engine. He
cut the smoking motor as soon as
the ship hit the runway.
Another plane was flown from
Oakland by Cnpt. M. C. McMaktn
and the passengers resumed their
flight ot 5:16. McMokln flew the
smoking plane back to Oakland this
morning. It was an odd occurrence
ns the engine was not smoking when
the plana left this morning. Mr.
Henne said.
, The passengers were taken to the
Hotel Med ford while they waited for
the relief plane. They apparently
all took their experience as a sort of
lark and evidently had a good tlmo
while waiting nt the hotel. At any
rate they said they enjoyed their
stay here despite the heat And
praised the hotel management for
the comforts provided them.

Administration Says Final
Answer As to What Con
stitutes Interstate Com
merce Needs Court Reply
WASHINGTON. July 31. (AP
The old question of what constitutes
Interstate commerce, a point of legal
controversy throughout the Roose
velt administration. Is developing as
the first big problem of the new wage
hour administration.
Government attorneys studying the
question say that when the answer
finally is written, It will come not
from Administrator Elmer F. Andrews,
who hae charge of enforcing the new
lobor law, but from the courts.
Litigation Looms.
There are predictions In govern
ment circles that In view of Inquir
ies already coming In from business
me nthroughout the country, a large
amount of litigation will arise over
this subject.
One attorney said the law as
drawn gave the administrator no
power to decide which individual
businesses come within Its provisions
This, he said, has created an element
of uncertainty for businesses on the
borderline of Interstate commerce.
Ho gave this example:
A furniture manufacturer who sells
all his finished products In the state
In which he operates buys his lum
ber from outside the state. Uncer
tain whether he should comply with
the wage-hour law, he asks the ad
ministrator for an opinion. The ad
ministrator can give him no official
opinion under the law.
He can, however, give his unoffi
cial view, which might bo that the
manufacturer was not subject to the
law. If the manufacturer operated on
that basis ,he still would be liable to
civil suit by hts employes or to crim
.nal action by the government should
one or the olther decide that perhaps
he ought to be operating under the
law.
Kffeettve October :!4.
Thus the court would have to ln
terpret the Interstate commerce
clause of the constitution In order to
decide the suit.
The wage-hour law will become ef
fective October 24. It provides that
virtually all businesses In Interstate
commerce must then begin paying a
minimum of 25 cents an hour And
working employes not more than 44
hours a week.
Labor department authorities say
Installation of officers of Rogue
River council of the Knlghta of Co
lumbus will be held on Tuesday.
August 3. It was announced at the
tegular meeting Tuesday night In ha
parish hall.
The district picnic will be held at
Diamond lake on Sunday. August 31,
It was announced. Father F. W.
Black, Joseph Doblmeler and Frank
DeSouza were appointed a commit
tee to make local arrangements tor
the picnic. Anyone needing or able
to furnish transportation was asked
to notify a committee member.
Edward Tobln was elected record
ing secretary to fill the vacancy
created by the death of Owen J.
Pat ton.
PENSION PLAN FOR
BANK EMPLOYES

employes of the United States Na
tional bank la announced by Paul
3. Dick, president.

SALT LAKE CrTY, July 31. (AP)
The steam powered railroad train,
now over-shadowed by Dlesel-drlven
streamliners, Is coming back In sleek
dress, with tremendous power and
drastic mechanical revisions.
A newly-developed steam turbine
electric locomotive was described to
day to the opening session 68th an
nual convention of the American so
ciety " of Civil Engineers by C. P.
Kahler of Omaha, electrical engineer
for the Union Pacific railroad.
Warner of I nlonlzatlon.
Engineers also heard their presi
dent. Henry Earle Rlggs of Ann Ar
bor. Michigan, caution them against
unionization "the most annoying
problem of the present day " -
Discussing railroad development,
Kahler sold:
In our search for a suitable And
economical high speed locomotive, we
are building and will soon place In
cperatlon a steam lurbine electric lo
comotive which will be the first of
Its type ever built."
The locomotive, Kahler said, Is real
ly a traveling steam electric generot
lng power plant "with all the refine
ments of a modern central station.
The cab and general appearance of
each unit will be very similar to the
latest streamline train."
Has Effective Breaks.
The newest "Iron horse' will bo
air conditioned and have powerful
electric brakes capable of stopping
the train, traveling 100 m. p. h. at
the same distance old steam locomo
tives could at 60 m. p. h.
