SOCIALIST QUESTION
IAR0USES A MINISTER.
Resents Query Put to workmen
By the Religious For
ward Movement"

McKeesport, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The Rev.
DR.. Singleton Neissor, pastor Of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church here has
announced his opposition to some OF
the methods used in the Men and Re
ligion Forward movement. A blank
is being sent to workmen In the mills
in this city, chiefly to men over IS years
OF age. Among the questions are
these:
lis he member of labor union?"
'Lodge?"
Docs he call himself socialism"
Other questions refer to church af-
filiations, age, occupation and nation
ality. Or. Neissor says:
"Christian socialists should protest in
their churches against these imperti-
nent questions being answered. Why
did they not ask: Is he republican,
Does he call himself democratic
heartily endorse the Men and Religion
Forward movement, but most heartily
disapprove of any scheme that inten-
tionaliy or unintentionally makes In
secure the Jobs of labor unionists or
socialists"
The Rev r. Fl. Kirk, of the Second
Presbyterian church, chairman of the
McKeesport evangelical committee, de-
clarcs the questions are asked only for
the purpose of the church census. He
said:
1T has been stated that members of
labor unions and socialists are few in
the work Of the church, and it is to
ascertain how many are in the church
that the questions are asked"

regarding public lands and to substi.
tute therefor state control may be
made as the result Of the Western
Governors. Congress, which met for
the first time here.
After hearing the governors of the
Northwestern States and their acered-
tied representatives outline what, in
their opinion, is wrong with the pres
ent administrator Of the land laws
and what needed to further the de-
velopment of the West, Secretary OF
the Interior Fisher explained the ad-
ministration's policy regarding public
lands. He agreed with most of the
speakers that there are many evils in
connection with the land laws that
should be corrected, but said he had
no power to correct them; that IT
was a matter that should be put to
Congress, and he asked the assistance
of the Western governors in securing
needed legislation.
