DEFENDS CARDINAL GIBBONS.
Raymond BIatFiwayt Writes Letter
for Publication.


LONDON, Dec. 3o.-Raymond Biathwayt
has written letter to The Chronicle in de-
Tense of Cardinal Gibbons. in which he
says that two years ago he went TO the
United States for the purpose of studying
the question of American Catholics and
their attitude toward Rome. and during
his visit he says he entered into personal
communication with Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Kane.
He expresses the opinion that except the
Archbishop of New York, whose ideas
the writer claims are reactionary, the
American prelates have sIngularly open
minds.
Continuing. the writer says: Cardinal
Gibbons told me he deplored strikes and
their necessity. but believed this recourse
now and again were justified in particular
cases. The church, the Cardinal also
told me, recognizes that labor has sacred
rights and that dignity was chief among
the natural franchises of the la boring
classes and that it was their right to or
ganize. The church still, according to the
Cardinal, recognizes that in this lay the
safety of a vast community, such as exists
in America, and that the Cardinal would
help the Knights of Labor when rightly
Observation-Disclosures" The writer further
says: THE late James Russell Lowell
told me he considered the demands of
Catholics would be fair and reasonable
and in accordance with Justice"
The writer also says: Rome in Amer
lea is in the van of the forward movement
to greater extent than is generally mag
lned. and those who have studied the
question with opep generous minds have
no doubt that the future welfare of the
republic lies in the hands of the Italian
mission now Furnishing in its midst"
