INEQl ITIES AND Sub
STANUNRHS

Mr.. Byrnes' recent speech told Us
many things that we needed tC
hear. Initiation must be curbed. OF
it will come upon us swiftly and
ruinOusly.
Why did he make the point of
adhering to the Little Steel" wage
formula of no further increases
except in limited and special
cases to correct patiently gross
inequities and to rectify plainly
substandard wages?
Even though the formula starts
out from the highest standard of
living ever achieved in our history
that of January /. 194l--and then
adds Is per recent for the rise in liv-
ing costs to May 1912, "inequities"
are used to account for the award
ing of series Of wage increases.
Just what are inequities? Ger
'NhAiy tiN wal I4uDUI IldS
never been known to adjust an
inequity by reducing the higher
wage.
Just what are substandard
wages? 1t is impossible to know
unless we are told definitely, once
and for all. in terms of dollars aDd
cents, what the Boards conception
of minimum standard wage is.
The wage-hour act provides, with
some exceptions, for a minimum
standard of 40 cents an hour. If
this is really the case, there should
be no worry about substandard
wages-unless we are attempting
to raise the standard for the coun-
try.

When the Old Dominion Kennel
Club show is staged on October 2
at the Meadowbrook Saddle Club,
the accent will be on the novice dog,
especially the novice dog shown by
the local novice exhibitor At a
recent Bench Committee meeting,
1t was voted to offer trophy for
first prize in every novice class, male
and female, in every breed, regard
less of competition.
This class is one of the regular,
American Kennel Club classes, at
which standard color ribbons are
offered 1t is limited to dogs that
never before have won a blue ribbon,
except in the puppy class. How
ever, if puppy has gone to winners
at an earlier show, he no longer is
eligible for novice class.
Both the Old Dominion and the
National Capital Clubs plan licensed
shows at MeadoWbrook the first
week end in October. This will be
the second show for each of these
clubs this year. There also is a
possibility that the Arlington County
and the Central Maryland clubs will
stage fall shows in nearby Virginia
All these shows will be readily acces-
sible by public transportation
Probably first to break the mid
summer lull will be the two sets of
shows in Pennsylvania over the La
Dor Day week end Pittsburgh's is a
two-day affair followed by Butler
County. Allentown will have three
shows in three days following the
Deven pattern.
Old Uncle Judge in the July issue
of Popular Dogs says that the -Four
Freedoms in a dogs charter are
freedom to bark, freedom from the
leash, freedom from distemper, free
dom from reserve winner. And In
your scribe's humble opinion, the
greatest of these is freedom from
reserve winner.
All matters of registration now are
being accepted by the Ameri-
can Kennel Club subject to a
three month delay. This is being
done in the hope of cleaning up
most of the old business, some of
which already has been more than
three months in passage. Much of
the delay is due to the inability to
keep the office staff up to it's pre-
war level of 1875 or so clerks.
