Catholic PreIate Divides
Blame in the West Vir-
ginia Fields.
FOOD PRICES TOO HIGH
Holds Workers Would Not Be
Satisfied Until They Own
ed the Properties.

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.-Greed
of coal operators as we'll as miners
was the fundamental cause of the
West Virginia strike, according TO
Bishop Donahue of the Catholic
church, who was on the commission
which investigated conditions in Paint
and Cabin creeks. Exorbitant prices
of company stores, from Is to 25 per
cent above the market price, he gayo
as one instance on the part of the
operators. He was agreeably surpris-
ed by the living conditions of the
miners. "Of course, found no Turk
ish rugs, but 1 did find fairly comfort
able workingmen's homes" said the
prelate.
Were the men contented?" asked
Senator Kenyon.
81 can best answer that in the
words of Witness Griffith, who said
the men would not be satisfied until
they owned the mines"
QUOTES THE BIBLE.
Coming to the cause of the strike
the bishop quoted from Psalms, The
rich mans wealth fiaunts and sets the
poor man on fire." and declared 1t
applied to the situation in West Nir-
glnia.
Borah contended that If laboring
men were not ambitious they would
become industrial slaves.
"Ah, but not so II property owners
are not filed with greed" returned
the bishop. Il believe men should
hold property, not as their own, but
as trustees for others and that trus-
teeship should be shown by acts"
Senator Martin asked if labor un-
ions we're not organized, in his opin-
ion, for the good of the members.
THAT may be one reason. Another
is to furnish fat salaries to officials"
said the bishop.
MUST CHANGE LIFE VIEWS.
Did you ever hear of an official
worth $2O,O0O?" asked Attorney Sted-
man for the mine workers.
81 did not speak of accumulations.
I referred to salaries" returned the
bishop, calmly.
Attorney Monitt, for the miners, ask
ed if the bishop thought gatling guns,
armored cars and bloodhounds were
some of the things that would set tne
soul of the miners on fire.
The bishop responded that he con.
sidered the use of those weapons best
governed by common law which al.
lowed the use of guns when the user
was backed to the wall" Continuing
the bishop said: Get some of the hor-
rible ideas of infdelity and about So
cialism worked out of the miners
much as you would work out beer at
Carlsbad and nurture a wholesome re-
ligious view Of life and conditions will
be better"
The bishop denied he was interested
in West Virginia coal lands or mines.
Asked by Martin what he would do
to remedy conditions if he had the
power. the bishop said:
81 would require operators and min
ers 10 go 10 church twice every Sun
day, give each a bible, and make them
hang TWO or three beautudes in their
bedrooms, such as Blessed are the
poor in spirit These would cause
them to forget to use machine guns

There is no use repeating all We
have said about French cooking. 1t
is good All who have ever had a
chance TO Try it know that this is true.
Mere than that, they know their work
is an art and no one could convince
them or really want. to that it is not.
In France cooking is taught in the
home. In fact every French girl
knows how to cook and sew beautiful
". Last summer. when going INTO the
country, an hours ride from Paris, my
friend who travelled with me said:
Il am going to take some material
for waists with me, as We will sure
ly find some French girl who can sew,
in fact, all French girls sew we'll"
She took the material, and sure
enough, there was a beautiful, refined
girl whose father had recently had
business reverses and she new had to
make her own living. She had opened
a little shop for making blouses, u
waists, as We call them. Her sewing
was exquisite. her cooking was won
derful and she could have remained
with Madame C., where we wei
studying French, and been one OF her
most successful teachers.
