SELECTED AS NEW VICE
MODERATOR.

Denver, May 22.-Less lounging
and less luxury in the church and a
cesession of the habit of waiting
for the sinner to approach and more
evangelism was the keynote sound

win, president of the Baldwin Loco
motive works, of Philadelphia, in

tee on evangelistic work. He de-
clared that the church is altogether
too dignified to go after the sinner.
Another feature that also made to-
days sessions of the assembly note
worthy was the Blue and, Gray"
address of Moderator Barkley, who
was Confederate soldier. Old
memories were recalled and new
comradships vowed under the ban
ner of both church and state. The
gathering brought together the cold
timers" including half dozen griz-
zled patriarchs, now scattered to the
four winds, who preached in Colo
RADIO when the state was in its in
fancy.

MITCHELL GOES AFTER KIRBY
Former President of Miners Union
Takes Up His Pen.

New York, May 25.-The arraign-
ment of organized labor by John
Kirby, the new president Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
has been condemned by John
Mitchell, former president of the
Miners union in an article in the
current issue of the National Civic
Federation Review. Mitchell quotes
Kirby by saying he was not elected
on account Of his ability but because
the members Of his organization
know where he stands on the labor
question. He then illustrates where
Kirby stands, contrasting his ut
terances on labor with those of GER
tain other persons. The article
goes on: '*They prate about law and
order, yet advocate violance and
anarchy and suggest the use of the
cannon in dispensing workingmen.
