AN INTERVIEW WITH
CARDINAL, GIBBONS
More Men Like tho Eminent Prelate
Would Make the World Better.

More Men Like the Eminent Prelate
Would Make the World Better.
Label Promoter w. H. Wisner had
a most instructive interview with Car
dinal Gibbons few days ago, and he
learned that the eminent prelate is in
G. w. Of A. in seeking to elevate the
workingmen and women in the trade
through the securing Of good wages
and l1ealthful conditions Of labor. That
our readers may know the position of
the Cardinal, the essential portions Of
the interview are produced. Mr.. Wis
ner says:
Baltimore, March Is, 1907.
His Eminence approves heartily of
the work Of our organization and re-
grets the deplorable conditions of
those engaged in the garment maxi
ing industry. He is familiar with the
actual conditions In this city, having
devoted much time to a study Of this
subject, which he is deeply inter-
ested. I took occasion to thank the
Cardinal on behalf Of organized labor,
and especially on behalf of the U. G.
in the struggle for living conditions
and against the sweatshop.
In closing the interview, Cardinal
Gibbons said: 1--WE will have to con-
tinue the fight along the same lines.
God bless you and the work in which
you are engaged"
The Cardinal some time since
preached most effective sermon on
the sweatshop, which has been pub
lished by many papers throughout the
country, including the Weekly Bull
letin. found the distinguished divine
to be, without exception, the finest
man I have ever met. He shows in
innate knowledge of the Industrial
conditions in all sections Of the coun-
try. In spite Of the fact that he is
the highest dignitary of the Catholic
church in America, he Is accessible to
all who seek an audience with him.
/. More men like his Enlinence would
make this world much better.

NOT FOR COMMON PEOPLE.
The Churchman, in q recent edi.

The Churchman, In a recent ed1-
torial, said:
1T is all too true that the wage
earners, as a class, feel that the laws
of the land are not made or admin
istered with fairness to them. .
The comfortable members Of respect
able and conventional society do not
realize the tremendous social contrasts
that have made possible this rousing
Of class hatred. Christian peo-
pie have shown the same Indifference
to these conditions that the politicians
have manifested in the face Of econ
on1ic evils. Their failure to know for
themselves, or to use common knowl-
edge of actual conditions in order to
change them, is responsible for an
Indifference to the church, even some-
times a contempt and hatred Of them,
that few of the clergy or laity have
even begun to gauge. The convic-
ton Of wage-earners is deep, and is
growing deeper, that the privileged
classes do not deal fairly with them
that they are helpless unless they find
a wey to help themselves. We owe
it to organized labor more than to
any other influence that thoughtful
students, great leaders, and even po-
litical parties, realize that they must
reckon with the just claims and the
righteous demands Of the common peo-
pie. The American church Is
not the church of the common people
Our influence has been on the side OF
the privileged classes, and we have
contributed to the discomfort and the
d1strust, until we are ignored and
counted out in the efforts of the COM
mon people to secure a fair chance in
the struggle Of life."
