The recent bench shows in this

worthy Of mention. Perhaps one Of
the pleasantest was the registered

BY r. X. TAYNTON.

It was a glorious October day; the
leaves were crimson and orange and
gold; there was the faint haze in the
air that betokens the passing of sum-
mer, and the snappy tang that her
aids the coming Of cold weather. In
short, 1t WAS the sort of day that the
poets and nature lovers rave about, the
sort of day just made for a field trial.
So with visions of sleek dogs pranc-
ing with impatience to be after game.
of birds rising from every covert, Of
men and women in tweeds following
eagerly after the bird hunting dogs, We
betook ourselves to field trial.
1t was a big field trial one Of
the largest in this section Of the
country.
There were over 30 dogs entered,
many Of them from such widely scat
tered places as Delaware and North
Carolina, for the Oriole Field Trial
Club has the reputation of being one
OF the best. And the Lock Raven
(Md) course, where they hold their
trials, Is one of the sportiest.
Not What Was Expected.
Day and course were rup to specif-
cations. As we drove np. We were
pleased to see cars. trucks and sta
ton wagons from many points.
Thought We to ourselves, This is go
ing to be good" Imagine our amaze
ment when We walked around the cars
to find that the owners of the dogs
were all sitting around. talking-and
sitting around-and, well, talking and
sitting around.
Tied to the wheels of the cars were
few settlers and pointers OF, what
seemed to the eye Of the bench show
addict, doubtful points and pedigrees.
Far in the distance a brace of dogs
and very small coterie Of people on
horseback could be diScerned Nothing
of what they were doing could be dis
tinguished, and from all one could
gather from assiduous listening in,
nobody seemed to care what they were
doing.
After q half hour Or SO, those
two dogs and their entouraEe
came in and two more went out.
This continued from in the morn
ing until almost dark. Just before
dark, when the last brace was in, two
Of the men who had been most per-
sistent in following the dogs. lay down
on their stomachs in the rough grass
and consulted earnestly for few min
utes. Then with a final nod they rose,
handed a slip Of paper torn of an old
envelope to waiting man and walked
of.

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) - As
time grows nearer for convening of
Congress and majority of the state
legislatures of the country, fresh
vision on many fronts. State Fedora
tions of Labor in Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Illinois, New Hampshire,
Minnesota, during the past 10 days,
have shown their active interest in
coming tax problems by creating tax
committees. These groups are in

deem injurious to labor's interests.

scored in the report as undemocratic
and as dangerous to the free trade
union movement. Exception was first
taken to Section Ia, authorizing the
administrator, by regulation of orders,
to provide for the employment Of
learners" and apprentices.
The report pointed out that under
NRA workers were employed under
the codes for wage below the mini
mum during the period in which they
we're classified as learners"
In practice" the report said, ''many
employers notified employees who had
been with them many years that if
they desired to remain IN employment
they would have to do so as learners.
Frequently when the learners period
had expired, they would be discharged
and then notified that they could only
be given employment by their consent
to again being classified as learners" !"
''Autocracy" in Act Scored
The report went on to outline prog
ress made in setting up national sys-
tenn of apprenticeship training, under
the authority Of Congress and with
the cooperation of organized labor,
and declared that with the authority
conferred on the administrator of the
wages-hours act, much of the work ac-
complished by the Federal Committee
on Apprentice Training could be null
lifted.
Provisions of the act authorizing the
administrator to appoint industrial
committees to make recommendations
as to minimum wages and maximum
hours were attacked as autocratic.
Emphasizing that neither labor nor
industry is given a voice in the naming
of the committees, the report said:
"It is most undemocratic and au-
tocratic way of setting up any re-

is the essence of bureaucracy.
There are no provisions giving labor
any choice in the selection of the labor
personnel Of the industry committees.

IT. u ASKS
FOR PEACE in
LABOR RANKS

Birmingham, Ala. CLNS).-In a
resolution approved by unanimous
vote, the eighty-second convention Of
the international Typographical Union
called for peace between the American
Federation of Labor and the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization.
The resolution asked leaders of the
two groups to "resume Immediately
their unity conferences and find way
to fulfill the wishes of the workers
both in the A. F. of L. and the G. |. o."
The resolution was adopted as a
substitute for proposals attacking the
A. f. of L. and demanding that the
|. L. u. cease all financial affiliation
with the federation.
Split Harms Labor
The printers deplored the split in
labor's ranks as detrimental to all
organized labor and said the divi-
sion "retards the growth of the Amer
lean labor movement, causes confu-
sion and Misunderstanding.
The rift permits enemies Of labor
to make it difficult for trade unions
to advance as rapidly as the times
and conditions warrant" the resolu-
tion added
The convention approved labor pol
icies of the New Deal and charged
that "anti-union forces are engaged
in campaign to render Ineffective
such agencies as the National Labor
Relations Board, unemployment insur-
ance and the wages and hours law"
Another resolution asked repeal Of
poll taxes in the nine states retaining
it because s'it disfranchises majority
Of citizens in states where it is levied"
Five Day Week Ordered
A proposal making the fve-day
week mandatory in union shops
throughout the printing industry was

The proposal will be submitted to

Metal Trades Report Criticizes
Wages-Hours Act Provisions
And N.L.R.B. Administration

The report charged that the N. L.
r. B., on numerous occasions, had de-
MED the right of A. f. of L. unions to
carry on collective bargaining on be-
half Of their memberships and at
tackled the board membership as par
tisan to the G. |. O.
C. /. O. Partisanship Charged
"Never before in the history of any
federal bureau, commission or board"
the report asserted, "has there been
50 disrupting a factor in American
industry, or greater evidence of par
tisanship and incompetenry. 1t is true
that many of the decisions handed
down by the board during the year
have been favorable to our affiliated
international unions, but it is equally
true that in these cases the evidence
was SO overwhelming that decisions
contrary to those made could not have
been supported.
1T has been quite evident in
Washington that many of the
Boards staff employees, as well as
the regional directors and their
legal and other assistants were
firm believers in the so-called YER
tical form Of unionism and worked
incessantly to apply their belief
that it was their duty to recon
struct the American trade union
movement.
at is equally evident that there was
a close social contact between many
of the legal representative Of the
boards staff in Washington and the
legal representatives of the C. |. o."
Theorists" Are Hit
The report examined at length the
problems created by the c. l. o., the
danger to the labor movement from
the communists and expressed the
opinion that too much planning and
administration has been in the hands
Of theorists instead of practical men.
It urged the inclusion Of experienced
trade union officials and managers of
industry in boards and agencies hav-
ing to do with industry and said:
"The Tampa convention of the
American Federation of Labor, 1886,
decided by unanimous vote to sup
port no further federal or state leg
islation creating boards, commissions,
or other bodies having to deal with
labor and industry, unless the law
provided for the inclusion of trade
unionists in the personnel Of such
bodies. Responsible trade union off
cials have a contribution to make to
the nations problems which can come
from no other group. We should be
insistent upon carrying into effect the
unanimous declaration of the Tampa
convention"
