MODERN
ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee

@. Is it proper for man to Of
fer to drive a girls car, when the
weather is very bad, or would she
construe it as reflection on her
ability?
A. 1t is chivalrous to extend the
offer, particularly if the girl seems
nervous or timid about driving. If
she is a girl of the fearless, intre-
pid type, it would be better to sit
perfectly still, and if you wish to
do so-pray.
O. When an unmarried woman
or widow gives an informal dinner
is it necessary for her to ask one
of her men guests to act as host?
A. 1t is not necessary, but she
may ask some man whom she knows
well to lead the way to the dining
room with the woman guest of
honor.
O. Is it customary to seat all
the guests at a home wedding?
A. No A few seats are usually
provided for the elderly guests,
but the others stand quietly around
the room.

"The stars incline

mate in the horoscope for today,
according to astrology There may
be much strife among the jewellers
on the planet Earth.
Discomfort and unrest may be
widespread under this rule of the
stars which. affects small powers
as we'll as whole nations. Domes-
tic matters may be uncomfortable
and financial discussions plainful.
Labor troubles may be quiescent
but none the less serious under this
sway for it stimulates class con-

Men and women who supervise
authority are fortunate in their
prosperity. They should be able to
accomplish much in business or
professional m t ters, but they
should not be blind to economic
developments.
This is not a time to write about
love or to enter into engagements
to marry. Contracts of every sort
are under the most unfavorable
direction.
Accidents are indicated as likely
to be numerous. Those who ride
in electrically operated vehicles
should be unusually cautious as
fires may be numerous throughout
this month.
AS the winter advances and de-
mand for fuel is widespread there
may be a serious strike in one of
the most important coal regions.
Shopping is wen directed today
when there will be an inclination to
buy what is costly. The Christmas
season is ito be unusually profitable

Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of much work.

THE WAGE-HOUR BILL

The much discussed wage and hour bill which was
scheduled to be of the outstanding pieces of
business of the present special session of Congress
appears to be holding up the procession and nfuen-
tal in delaying it reported to be various labor
factions who skeptical of placing power with a
Federal board to regulate such things. An insight
on few of the reasons why the seems to be
smoudering but making progress is found in a
report of Louis Stark political observer writing from
Washington to the New York Times. Mr. Stark writes:
Out of the weller of confusion that marks
the attitude of organized labors spokesman
on the Black-Connery Wages and Hours Bill
which passed the Senate and is anguish
ing in the House Rules Committee, fact
stands out cleary-none of the labor spokes-
men (AFL Or CIO) has out strongly in
favor of the Senate bill at this time
William Greeny president of the American
Federation of Labor, approved the Senate
version as matter of expediency, hoping that
the series of amendments which the House
Labor Committee favored would set matters
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1937-12-07

ytSlH John LfsIeYiss chairman OF the Com
hhttee jta& tndhttthh Organization callsnit
'ptny' bill, but he accepts it, as he wrote to-
Representative Norton, because it would es-
tablish the principle of Federal wage-and- hour
regulation.
The entire matter was taken out of Mr.
Green's hands by the recent Denver conven-
ton of the federation and he was directed
not to take any further action on the bill be-
fore consulting the officers of the four depart
ments of the AFL, building metal label and
railway.
In advance of the conference to be called
by Mr.. Green. AFL legislative representatives
have just held a meeting here to consider the
federation's legislative program. Although no
official action could be taken at this meeting,
it was apparent that the major sentiment OF
the labor spokesman present was in vigorous
opposition to that provision of the Senate bill
setting up Fair Standards Labor Board which
would fix minimum wage and maximum hour
standards. as e~x ss As ~ a
sIsnpetus to the movenlent a gainst. a Federal
standards Board was given by Senator George
IllBerry of Tennessee, who is nfesifent ofsihe
Printing Pressmen 81 Union Senator Berry
said he was "fed up on bureaus in Washing
ton to regulate hours and wages" and Plead
ed for simple" bill which would have Con-
greSS Specltlcaly Tx the hours ana wages ana
other standards Enforcement would be placed
in the hands of the Department of Justice
through its local district attorneys
At the meeting of the ALL legislative
agents it was disclosed that Senator Berry'S
views had obtained wide acceptance in these
quarters The question now remains what
will happen when Mr.. Green conveneS the
executive council and the officers of the fed
eratons departments. AS the latter have
been opposed to the Senate version from the
beginning it is assumed that they will con-
tinue their fight against any House version
which would continue the provision for a
board to fix minimum wages.
In short, organized labor to a considerable
extent does not trust to the discretion of any
board to fix minimum wages and. maximum
hours but prefers to have these standards
fixed by Congress and not delegated, as in the
NRA codes.
If the movement to recommitj the bill is
successful further hearings will be held in the
House Labor Committee. At the hearings the
argument that is likely to be advanced against
the measure is that Fair Standards Board
may invade the prerogatives of organized la
Dor and fix minimum wages in fields in COM
petition with collective bargaining groups

Our deepest sympathies go out to the lovely lady
of Hackensack, who found squirrels in her bedroom
and who, ever since has been seeking legal means
to get rid of them
She would she admits, like to shoot them, How
ever, under New Jersey law may not shoot a
squirrel without written permission from the New
Jersey Fish and Game Commission. And this per-
mission is forthcoming only if it be proved that
the squirrels have committed 'wilful destruction of
property. And, it seems, they haven't done that
What makes the problem complicated,
however, is that if Mile. Hackensack does manage to
get an O. K from the Fish and Game Commission
she then will have to get permit from the city of
Hackensack to carry" the firearm with which she
proposes to shoot the squirrels.
We can, of course imagine brutal persons who
would take the squirrels by their dear little necks and
throw EN- out. They could be charged with "loiter-

all going nuts?

One man in the whole Pacific Northwest
deserves undyng credit for having the vision
and faith in this mighty project, and that is
Tacomas G c. Garland, who for the past
five years has devoted countless days of his
time without pay of any kind, boosting this
mighty project of world significance Writing
letters to hundreds of people, keeping con-
slant stream of publicity in American and
Canadian papers, enthusing small groups with
the story of the Alaska Highway, attending
meetings everywhere and keeping a constant
record of every bit of action taken by the
Washington and Ottawa Governments, Mr..
Garland has the admiration of all who
know of his one-man battle for this impor-
tant project.
Like most of the worthy citizens of Tacoma,
Mr.. Garland's work is better known outside
Tacoma than right at home. Tacomas ira
ditonal petty jeaousies have kept Mr.. Gar
land from getting due recognition for his I'M
selfish labors but We for one, lift hat to
this fine old gentleman and his great hobby
the Road to Alaska.
And we suggest the name Garland Drive"
for the most scenic portion of this highway
when it is finished.
Alaskans have long known that they have a friend
in court in C. c. Garland, chairman of the Alaska
committee of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce The
Juneau Chamber of Commerce especially is aware of
of the excellent work he has done and is doing
in pushing Juneau and Alaska projects What, his
own home town friends say of his efforts in behalf
of the International Highway holds true on Alaska
