Baltimore, March ia circular-letter
has been issued by Vicar General CORR
gan, of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. TO
all -embers of the Roman Catholic
clergy Of this diocese, calling for meet
ing to be held next Monday. The pur-
pose Of this meeting will be ITO consider
the matter of ST Katherine's Church.
The move IS believed to be the first step
toward relieving Cardinal Gibbons of the
great financial burden he has shouldered
in the assumption Of the obligations or
Rev. Father Casper p. Ebert, recently
rector Of St. Katherine's Church.
Father Ebert, who got into difficulties
through financial deals. which, II devel-
oped, were nothing more than chimerical
dreams. was recently relieved by the pas
torate Of St Katherine's by the cardinal.
VIII Discuss Relief Measures.
That the meeting will discuss and de-
eide upon measures for relief OF Cardinal
Gibbons in his task Of making good the
obligation of $4,000 contracted by Father
Ebert there is no question in the minds
Of local members Of the Catholic Church.
and the movement will undoubtedly re-
ceive enthusiastic support.
While the initiative is taken In the city
Of Baltimore and in the Baltimore do
cese. the plan is expected 10 broaden IN
scope until il shall embrace the members
Of that faith in all parts Of the country.
Father Ebert Is still In Mount Hope
retreat, where it is stated an observation
extending over several days will be re-
CURED to definitely decide whether the
priest may be expected TO regain his nor
nal mental pOise-
In the meantime he is not permitted tc

Proposed Move Is Delayed Until

workers Believe Operators Would
Have Decided Mt Present Time.
Seek Recognition of Union.

WiIkesbarre. Pa. March 13.-Mine work
ers here are to-day declaring that as the
operators have refused to grant any Of
their demands. or even TO recognize the
district presidents and secretaries as rep
resentatives Of the Mine Workers Union.
the only way in which they can hope to
gain what they demand is by going on
strike
The opinion seems to prevail among
them. however. that they would be Sc
verely handicapped in an effort to win a
strike started at the present time, owing
to the fact that the operators have a
large amount OF coal in storage, and
that with the present business dullness
and the warm weather close az hand, the
operators would have a decided advan-
tage.
Under these circumstances. the miners
generally agree that IL would be better
to wait until the fall when the demand
for coal grows brisk, before ordering a
strike. BY that time. they say. the men,
bership OF the union could well be greatly
increased, the union would have more
funds on hand for carrying on Strike.
and the men. with strike in prospect.
could prepare for it in advance by saving
their money to provide for their families
during the strike period.
The miners fully indorse the stand
taken by President Lewis in his demands
for recognition Of the union. and say that
