CHURCH BACKWARD
IN CHARITY WORK
Rev. DR.. Van Schaick Dis
cusses Problem Before
Monday Evening Club.

''I have been trying for ten years to
bring about a better cooperation be-
tween the church and other forms of
charitable and social work, and haven't
succeeded" said the Rev. John Van
Schaick. of the Church of Our Father. at
q meeting of the Monday Evening Club.
at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
sion last night
80 far as the general public is con-
oerned the church seems to have fallen
INTO hopeless attitude, and is looked
upon as a last resort when help is being
Sought Almost invariably when
needy case is brought to the attention
Of citizen he Immediately thinks of
one of the public or private charitable
organizations or the benevolent frater-
nal bodies. II seldom enters his head
so ask help of the church.
THE church wants to get acquainted
T.sh the charity organizations. and the
latter want to get acquainted with the
church This is not all one-sieed.
What we need is to get together"
The general subject for discussion at
the meeting was Cooperation Between
Workers in Charity and other Forms of
Social Service" The Rev. DR.. Van
Schaick COMPARED the church with the
Walter S Ufford, general secretary Of
the Associated Charities, who was the
first speaker, discussed "Co-operation
from the Standpoint of~the Charity Or
ganization Society"
There should be in every large city"
said Mr.. Ufford, some central organi-
cation where there is registered our
dependent poor. This would work to
our mutual advantage. The names and
addresses, and other lacJs regarding
those who are seeking charity should
be listed.
Nothing is more disagreeable to the
average citizen than to go out and in
vestigate the individual cases of all
who come to ask aims of him. It is
the duty OF such q central organization
10 furnish a corps of trained workers
who viii go out and investigate all
such cases and report on them"
Mr. Ufford concluded his remarks by
giving several Illustrations of the differ
ent ways IN which a central charity
body not only brings more help to the
poor and needy, but prevents the gem
erai public from being imposed upon.
Among the other speakers were
george ;. Wilson, secretary of the
Board of Charities. who discussed CO.
operation between public and private
charities, and William X. Cooper, gen.
erai secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association. who told of the
work OF the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION and kindred social forces In
relation TO organized charities.

PUSHING FIGHT ON
 THE CONTRACT LAW

Signifying the intention of the att torneys for Alonzo Bailey to push the fight upon the labor contract law of Alabama, and to carry 1t to the Su- preme Court. of the State. and ulti- mately. If necessary to the Supreme Court at Washington. the bill of ex- captions in the case was. filed yester- day with Judge W. H. Thomas. of the City Court.
 Judge Thomas occupied the bench upon the session of the court. during which Alonzo Bailey. negro, was con victed for breach of contract. With him, thus. is filed the bfll of except ions, and the case will, be taken on ap- peal to the higher. court.
 The case of the Montgomery negro has become notable throughout tho South, inasmuch as the labor contract law, which is attacked by the defense on the grounds of alleged unconsti- tutionality and upon the allegation. that it re-enacts slavery, denies equa' protection of laws, denies trial by fury, and virtually forms a system of peonage.
