"BISHOPS FOR RACES" IN THE

CHURCH,
Editor OF The PioDcer Press:

Editor Of The Pioucer Press:
Dear Sir:-I notice that the legal.

refer to that feature Of it, but will
try and discuss the necessity Of it.,
limiting my remarks 10 the colored
membership. The natural and Chris.
tian relations existing between the
white and colored members do not
require this amendment, but these
relations do nos govern them. There
is an accidental. prejudice relation
between them, which gov
erDs The Church.
This prejudice has led the church
80 far in error that Der only way ont
at present is by special race legisla
Is'ion. [ call this special ruling
power race prejudide because it is
the only working hypothesis in ex-
planning our treatment by the white

their trsatment Of Us because Tho
"socislly at" and the "socialIy unfit"

The Church, therefore, through
PREJUDICE is in an abnormal condi-

alright, and it bas worked well in

DO STEEL TRUST
MEN WORK II HOURS?


New York. Jan. denomination OF
the recent charges Of DR.. Felix Adler
that the United States Steel corpora
ton works its laborers twelve hours
day with a twenty-four hour stretch
every two weeks was made today by
John A Fitch, one of the editors OF
the magazine survey.
The twelve hour day is the rule of
the mills with the workers engaged in
the manufacturing processes, said
Mr.. Fitch. Some of the men have jobs
that do not require constant effort.
But take a iaborer in the yards with
a wheelbarrow. He works hard for
twelve hours straight. / don't know
how it is that any man can work that
long on stretch, but 1t is probably
explained by the fact that the Poles
and Hungarians who handle these jobs
are man of almost superhuman
strength. There are men who have to
work only ten hours day, but they
are mechanics about the plant and not
steel workers.

Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago. Ind. Jan. lettings
are beginnings-to look UP for the Hun
garian church, whose building in Okla
homa burned last week. Father
Paul Bognar has returned from Fort
Wayne. where he went on Mondty to
consult with Bishop Alending as to how
to proceed to get things in shape for
the future.
Previous to his departure, on Sunday
afternoon, his congregation met with
him and laid the preliminary plans. 1t
was agreed. with the consent of the
bishop to erect a substantial hall
which will answer for the present as
both school and church. but which will
eventually he devoted exclusively to
the use of the school. Later on, a new
church building and parish house are
to be constructed in Alexander avenue
on the church property. the parish
house standing between the two other
buildings so as to be easily accessible
to both church and school. Father
Bognar says the fact of his residence
being so far from the church was re-
sponsible for the total destruction OF
the church and its contents. Had he
been nearer he thinks he might have
gotten into the building and sayes
some OF the inside property.
Bishop Alerding has consented to the
plan of erecting the hall and work oil
1t will be begun next week. The hal
is TO be 80 by so feet in dimensions
well built but Of frame construction
Two of the church lodges will hav'
charge OF this work. while two other
will devote their attention TO plans 70
the new church building. and the re-
naming two will devote their nergie
toward providing a parish house TIL
hall will, when completed. represent al
investment of $1,000, which will no
however, be in cash the work all be
ing donated by members of the churcl
