Unionism Going Wild.

Union labor leaders in Chicago
have issued circulars to their sub
ordinatcs asking organized labor not
to cooperate in any way with Bishop
McCabe and other noted ministers
and religious leaders in their plans
for campaign in worldwide
evangelism, to begin soon in the city
of Chicago, assigning as their reason
that the Methodist Book Concern
does not recognize the union in their
mammoth printing establishment.
Members of labor unions are asked
not to attend any OF the revival
services This. it would appear, is
carrying the principles on which
labor unions are based, little too
far, as it comes into direct conflict
with that truly great American prin-
ciple OF absolute religious freedom.
guaranteed all by the constitution.
Such action, IL persisted in. would
surely bring labor organizations into
contemp,.-Fairiicld, Ill. Press,
Doubtless the Methodist Book
Concern reasons like this: III we rec
ognizc the union and have "closed
shop" giving employment only to
union men. we may be doing injustice
to men who do not belong to the
union.

After the commission left Russia fur
ther sum of 375, 900 roubles was distri-
buted, Of which 100000 was sent to
Romni and $500 for distribution in
the government and town of Ekaterino-
slav. Another sum of 535, 1000 roubles is
expected to be allocated by the Odessa
relief committee; of this sum the Mos
COW committee will receive 145 900
roubles and Kieff 100000 roubles. The
remainder will be divided among num-
Der of small towns The committees,
having made provision for relieving the
most urgent needs, considered the steps
which should be taken for assistance of a
permanent character. For persons of
small means large number of loan
funds will be established, each with a
capital of from 10000 to $4,000 roubles.
For the benefit of wholesale merchants a
bank is to be founded with a capital of
100000 roubes. The question Of the
care of orphans (of whom 1000 have
still to be provided for) was the subject
of considerable discussion. The confer
ence decided to maintain them in Rus
sia itself until they shall have attained
their majority. 1t is estimated that the
capital required for the bank and loan
funds will swallow up 100000 roubles,
and that the maintenance of the 1000
orphans will cost another 100000 rou-
bles.

Representative McDermott' severe
arraignment Of Russian Christianity
and his defense of the Jews against the
crucifxion charge, in the halls of Con
gress, can be regarded merely as a bit OF
sensation, not worthy Of much thought
or comment The debate Of the Postal
bill is hardly the fit occasion for theo-
logical discourse on the crucifixion. Were
some eminent clergyman Of one OF the
orthodox Christian denominations to de-
liver himself of similar opinions, such
an utterance would have dignity and
value, for, after all the Crucifxion be-
longs to the realm Of theology to-day,
even though it may have been political
question two thousand years ago. Not
only was this congressional diversion to
theology malapropos, but it also created
the false impression that Russian official
anti-semitism with it's attending pogroms
is the result of religious antagon-
ISM On the contrary, bureaucracy does
not fear and hate the Jew because OF his
faith but because of his affiliation with
the ranks of the progressivists and revo-
lutionaries. In free countries like our
own America, no intelligent Christian
who is emancipated from the narrowing
atmosphere of Sunday school religion,
will employ the Crucifxion story as
basis for his hatred Of the Jews There

Of course, that the Russian Jews are all

What we would be pleased to receive is
a straightforward explanation of the
fact that in the program Of the Russian

ised inalienable rights and absolute
equality, but merely "that which they

Relief Work in Russia

Recently a conference of delegates of
provincial relief committees was held in
st. Petersburg, and was attended by
thirty delegates from various towns in
which the Jews had suffered from eX-
cesses. From information collected at
the conference it appears that $4,000
families were seriously affected by the
outrages Of these, $500 reside in the
government of Tschernigotf, 1000 in
that Of Poltava, 5000 in that of Ekater
inoslav, 5000 in that of Kieff, and 800
in the town Of Rostoff- -the-Don. The
receipts Of the committees until the end
of February amounted to four and a half
million roubles, Of which three million
roubles came from abroad; the remain
ing one and half million roubles were
collected in Russia itself. The cities in
which amounts exceeding 10000 roubles
were distributed were: Kieff, 100000
roubles; Odessa, 100000 roubles Mos
cow, 100000 roubles, and st. Petersburg
and Rostoff each 100000 roubles Up to
the same period 100000 roubles had
been expended in relief. Of this
amount 511 900 roubles had been spent
before the arrival in Russia Of the COM
missioners, headed by DR.. Paul Nathan
This commission authorized an expendi-
ture Of 1888, 100 roubles, Of which the
principal amounts went to Odessa, 624,-
500 roubles, Kieff, 31O,6O0 roubles; the
Moscow committee, $4,000 roubles;
Krementschug, 100000 roubles; Rostoff-
on-the-Don and Poltava, 100000 roubles
each; and Elizabethgrad $4,000 roubes.
