Rev. Mr.. Woods Explains Work OF
Labor Unions.


In his address on Labor unions Of the
Middle Ages" at GonzaEa Hall last night,
Rev Joseph F. Woods. S. J.. emanated
from the idea that erattsmen's guilds OK
the thirteenth 10 fifteenth centuries and
the present-day labor unions are identical
organizations. representing products Of
homogeneous industrial conditions.
In describing tho pious and charitable
activities Of those medieval organlza-
tons, in time when a working class"
was unknown. when capital played
scarcely any part at all in the produc-
ton. when the employer and the employee
belonged to the same guild and ate at
the same table, the distinction among
master, journeyman, and apprentice lying
solely in skill and experience. the speaker
upheld the contention that these correIla-
tions Of peace and good viii were actu-
ated by the work and spirit Of the
Catholic Church, and their decay and the
development Of the present-day social
order were brought about by the reforma-
ton.
