In Drake Relays Sprint Medley
Barney EweH Loses
To STAG King in 100;
Wins Broad Jump


--(SPECIAL)--Le Tarrant, bronze
bullet from Alabama State Teach
ers. college at Montgomery, who
holds both the Southern Intercol-
legiate Athletic Conference 100 and
900 yard dash titles, scored a sem
sational upset Saturday afternoon
here in the 48th annual Penn Re-
lays by winning the coveted cen-
tury dash over a crack field OF
stellar favorites in the fast time
of 81 seconds.
Outstanding favorite to win the
event was Norwood Fl. Carney
Ewell, the Penn State flyer, who
is both National AAU and IC4A
champion in the go, 100, and broad
jump.
BEAT EWELL TWICE
4 But Tarrant, who is native
Birmingham, Alabama, boy, had
the distinction of beating the tout
ed EWell twice in the same day.
He won a seminal heat in 9.6 to
equal the Penn Relays record set
by Mozell Ellerbe of Tuskegee in
1899, with Barney qualifying for
the finals by coming in second.
In the finals, Ewell was among the
five rivals the Alabama State col
legian outsped to bag the 1912
sprint crown.
Tarrant joined a long list Of
bronze predecessors who had
dominated the Penn Relays 100
yard dash almost without interven-
ton for the past 10 years--among
them the famous Jesse Owens,
Ralph Metcalfe, Eulace Peacock,
Ben johnson, and Mozel Ellerbe.
BARNEY WINS BROAD JUMP
E,well did carve out some glory
for himself, however, by bagging
the broad Jump with leap Of
"a feet, 51a inches, noSing out
Herbert Herb Douglass of Xa-
vier, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa,
who jumped "a feet, IL inches.
Barney also anchored the Nittany
Lions $50 yard relay team which
placed second to the University of
Pittsburgh. anchored by another
crack Negro Splinter, William BilD
Carter. Xavier University was third
with her crack quartet of Douglas,
Bill Deterville, Billy Morton, and
Howard Butch) Mitchell, running
in that order. Xavier placed third
in the same event last year.
SOUTHERN U. STAR TRIUMPHS
Adam (Chu) Berry, the sensat-
ional timer--topper from Southern
University of Scotlandville, La,
holder of the high Jump record in
both the Tuskegee and Alabama
Relays and an acknowledged ma
tiona1 celebrity at this speciality, set
q new Penn Relays mark here
Saturday with a leap of 6 feet, 71s
inches-a quarter-inch improve
ment over the 1884 mark of 6 feet,
ia inch IS by George Fitz, white,
of New FORK University.
Jesse Owens, quadrup1e Olympic
winner of 1886 in Berlin and the
man who broke three world records
and equalled fourth, all in one
day, during the Big Ten Track and
Field Championships at Ann Ar
Dor Michigan in May 1885, was
among past Penn Relays champions
present. Owens won both 100 and

Detroit ULNS). - The principle of
equal pay for equal work, regardless
of the sex of the worker, is strongly
championed by the MortOrman, Con-
ductor and Motor Coach Operator, Off
cial magazine of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees. The prin-
ciple is particularly important in the
maintenance of wage standards, the
magazine emphasizes. 1t says:
Equal pay for equal work whether
performed by men or women is prin-
ciple which the Amalgamated ASso-
citation has established and maintained
in the face Of bitter employer opposi-
ton. The most recent instance was the
strike on Central Greyhound because
of the management's efforts to estab-
lish lower rates for women cleaners
than those set up in the contract for
the work. The decision of the board of
arbitration upheld our position but it
was costly battle, both for the EN-
ployes and the company.
I'VE were pleased to learn a few
weeks ago that our view on this sub
ject is shared by at least one court of
law. Judge Charles H. Hayden of Lam
sing, Mich, upheld the contention OF

Equal PaY For Equal Work Declared
Vital To Preserve Wage Standards

% women formerly employed by the
OldS Motor Works for the same rates
paid men for inspection work they per-
formed.
His decision also brought to public
attention law passed in 1881 requir-
ing pay equality for men and women
in Michigan industry. 1t was the first
award ever made under this law and
represents 81 cents an hour difference
over period of six years, or S55,69O.
The rate established for the inspection
work was 81 cents, while the women
were only paid IS cents an hour.
1T is more important than ever that
we continue to insist upon upholding
wage standards for specified work re-
gardless of the sex of the worker,
particularly so at this time when
women are taking the places of men
for the duration of the war To do
otherwise would be inviting break
down of wage scales with its conse-
uuent distress and disturbance when
the war has ceased and we return to
peace time activities.
Judge Hayden is to be commended
for his fortnight ruling. 1t should do
much to clarity the issue"

In the majority of these cases it was

practices of the companies appeared to
be definitely discriminatory. Provisions
of the law were explained and second
visits scheduled to check on compli-
ance.
While no complete tabulatiOn is
