The Priest Tells of Personal visits to
 Homes Where There Is NA Bread and
 Denounceo the Men Who Have Caused the Closing of Factories and Mills.
 BROOKLYN, Dec. 1S.-The Rev. Father Mahoney, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, caused decided sensa- tion at all the masses by his startling ref erence to the actual cases of starvation at present existing in this city. In com pany with his assistant prieFss he has during the last week made $ house to house canvass of his parish. He personally inspected more than half the tenements, and the result of his investigation was given to the congregation. Ascending the altar steps during every mass, he graph ically pictured cases of hunger and desti- tuition of which he had been an eyewitness. Never in all my experience" he said, 'has Brooklyn been in such n condition as at present. Hundreds of families are starv- ing, and unless relief comes, and that speedily, the results will be appalling to contemplate. 1 have seen strong men, steady and industrious, actually begging for bread to feed their starving children. For months they have been out of employ ment. There is no work for them to do, nor are there any indications that the sit
 
 months at least.
 Picture of Poverty.
 This is the first time in my career as Q Catholic priest that have been obliged to use such language. I have invariably held that actual want and poverty are caused by the people themselves, and that they are shiftless, spendthrifts or drunkards. This time itss different. Good, honest families are feeling it.
 ''The little they managed to save in times past has disappeared and as a result in many homes this morning there is not as much as loaf of bread. Woe to the men who have brought this about A blight seems to have fallen upon the country and for no apparent reason. There is no panic-at least there should be none. No disease is spreading among us. The prospects of good crops were never fairer, and everything points to a much better spring than we have had in 20 years Now, however, we are, and for at least two months more we will be, face to face with actual starvation. Money is not in Circu- lation. The building trades here are at a standstliI, and the men who have the money bags will not loosen the strings
 What has caused this condition? The tricks of the bloodhounds who call them selves men. In order to crush the unfor- tunate toiler they have closed up factories and mills. Industries have been crushed and production curtailed so that prices may be forced up. No one feels this more than the workman. He is made to feel it, so that next year be will be glad to take whatever wages the bloodhounds are will ing to offer him.
