A WORKlNGMAN'S CHURCH.
Rev. Charles StelzIe Opposes Separate
Religious Organization.


Recently an earnest and, 1 believe,
thoroughly sincere trades unionist adj
vocated the plan of organizing
church within the ranks of organized
labor which should be composed eX-
clusivcly OF working people who made
a profession OF Christianity, says the
Rev. Charles Sickle. The ministers,
the officers, the teachers, the singers
all who had anything to do with this
novel orga MIA tion-were to come from
the ranks of the toilers.
Repeatedly has it been suggested to
me that organize the Christian trades
unionists in the labor movement into
separate trades unions. But always
have I declined to become the advo-
cate of such scheme for practically
the same reasons that prompt me to
disapprove of the organization OF
working people into separate religious
orSa nizationS Of any kind.
Perhaps the strongest objection to
such n plan is the fact that working
men themselves do not believe in
"class" churches. I once wrote to 300
Of the prominent leaders of labor ask
ing their opinions concerning the Or
EnniZItion OF a diStinctively working
mans" church. Only three of the 300
were favorably disposed toward tho
proposition. Among the reasons given
for opposing 1t were the following:
"If true religion means anything it
means the fatherhood Of God and the
brotherhood of man, and an exclusive
church would be contrary to that doc
trine.' while worllingmen are poor,
they are also proud. and they would
be slow to connect themselves with an
exclusive institution which might pos
ell, n ~
"A church established exclusively for
the workingman would detcriorate.
There would ultimately arise n scclud-
ed. Isolated and forsakcn spirit that
would eventually end in strife and dis.
satisfaction"
One of the reasons given for the orr
ganizatiOn of this "workingman's
church is that the church is making
"many great and gricvous Mistakes"
But isn't that also true Of the labor :.
union? Must we therefore pull out Of
the labor union all Of the Christian
men and those of high moral princi-
pies and place them in separate or
gnnization? Is it not better to keep
them where they are, so that through
their influence they may correct the
errors which are now being made?
This is equally true OF the church. We
hceu ever! ioShl CuTlStlan trades I'M
ionist in the church just as we need
the loyal Christian trades unionist In
the labor union.
Such Il process Of seclusion as has
been suggested would also result in q
sort of pharisaical spirit which would
practically destroy the influence Of
the Christian men who would engage
In such an enterprise. The ~ IN bet.
ter than thou" attitudr srstses IaIs I
converts.
What we really need today lis q
straightforward, mainly, CI.fstian life
lived out both in the church and in the
labor union, without much flourishing
OF trnmpets. That kind OF living Will
soon recffy the mistakes both in tho
church and in the labor union, and it ,
Will also usher in the day when there
will exist a truer spirit Of real broth.

OLSON SUPERIOR
OF LEO PARDElLO
Former Rock islander Throws Italian
in Rough Match at
Chicago.

Chicago, March lin the hardest
fought and most vicious wrestling
match ever seen in this city Charley
Olson won two out of three falls from
Leo PardelIo at Brooke's Casino last
night
The match lasted almost an hour
before the swarthy Italian would sue
cumb, and it was marked by the bit
terest fighting local fans have ever
seen, and at the end two burly police
men were forced to drag Pardello
out of the ring to keep him from con-
tinuing matters.
Olson was by far the superior to
Pardello in cleyerness, but the Italian
showed Wonderful strength and
evaded most of Charley's attempts to
gain a fall Pardello managed to get
the first fall. but it was. principally
Olson's carelessness in laying himself
open to dangerous holds that gave it
TO him. In the next two falls. Olson
took good care of himself and never
gave Pardello chance.
Pardello, who is noted as a rough
wrestler, was more than matched by
Olson at this game, though the St
Louis man did not resort to the dirty
tactics that characterized the Italians
work.
Pardello, who most of the time was
in frenzy of rage. bit, gouged, tore
at Olson's hair end cursed his oppo
nent and at times dashed out with
clenched fists. In fact, when Referee
Fleming finally adjudged Olson the
winner Pardello made a bull rush and
tried to slug Olson, who was standing
in his corner. He was forced away
but broke loose and started at Olsor
lagain, only to receive punch on the
Iroint of the chin that sent him stag
Igering across the ring. Before hi
loould recover he was grabbed by /;
