A. Important conference.

cord OF this morning says: An I'M
portant conference, bearing on the
relation of the Catholic Church to the
Knights of Labor in the United States,
is believed to have taken place here
Yesterday between Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Corrigan Of New York,
and Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia,
at the residence OF the latter. Promin
ent priests said last evening in refer
ring to the meeting, that the abor
question was certainly assuming such
proportions and drifting into such
channels that the Church could not
very long ignore it. He referred to
the interest taken in the labor
movements, a exemplified by the
heavy vote polled in New York for
Henry George, and thought the Cath
olics should be advised by their
spiritual superiors as to whether Or
not it was dangerous to support such
movements. OF course, he concluded,
that no action will be taken by the hi
erarchy without deliberation and care,
and if any change is made it will only
be for the best interests of the Church
and the spiritual welfare OF its ad-
herents.
