ANSWERS GIVEN BY
EUROPEAN RULERS TO POPE
BENEDICTS APPEAL FOR RE-
LEASE OF WAR PRISONERS UN-
FIT FOR FURTHER MILITARY
SERVICE.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-02-13
General Remarks.

When doubt exists as to whether
ones condition or circumstances allow
exemption from the precepts of fast
ing and abstinence, counsel should
be asked from confessors or pastors
who are the authoritative Interpreters
of the law, and who even are EN-
powered in special cases, for good
and sufficient reasons, indicated OF
suggested in Catholic theology, tC
commute the preceptS of fasting and
abstinence to other penitential works
In enjoining upon the faithful the
precepts of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church is mindful of the evangelical
law of self-denial, of which the
Saviour and His Apostles were, by
example and by word, most eminent
teachers. Without selfdenial there is
no Christianity. Indeed, without self
denial there is no natural morality
The man who has not acquired by
habit the power of self-restraint will
not be victorious over sin amid the
storms and temptations of life which
all are compelled to encounter.
The observance of the fasts and
abstinences prescribed by the Church
is taken as a public and fearless pro
fession Of Catholic faith. He who
without sufficient or obvious reasons
eats meat or takes his usual meals
when abstinence or fast is enjoined
becomes an occasion of scandal, and
is not accepted as a practical Catholic
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage of self-denial~ for the sake OF
on their guard lest by their acts
scandal be given, and the fair name
of their religion be dishonored.
During Lent pastors will hole
special exercises of devotion in theil
several churches at appointed times
Instructions of a practical character
upon the Christian duties, the nature
Of the sacraments and the preparation
for their reception, should be giveI
on those occasions.
The devotion of the Way of the
Cross will be observed, if at all pos
sible, in all churches and chapels or
the Friday evenings throughout Lent
4 JOHN IRELAND,
Archbishop of st. Paul,
Whatever collection is taken up il
churches on Good Friday is, as usua
according to a letter of the Holy
Father, to be applied in aid of the mis-
sions of Palestine.

have spoken, eXempts working peo-

The story Of the mattresses strug-

working girls against a combine of
restaurant keepers formed for the
purpose of fighting the organization
was told yesterday in Judge Bald
wins court at the hearing of the
Knab, Fitting, Powers ct al case
against union mattresses by Eliza
beth MalOney, financial secretary and
business manager of the Mattresses
Union.
Miss MalOney's testimony was Civ

from Dudley Taylor, lawyer for the
restaurant combine. Hope ThOmp-
son, attorney for the mattresses, at

had tried to get one days rest in
seven through the Illinois legislature
and were fought and defeated by the
restaurant and hOtelkeepers' COM,

of restaurant men on the stand that

Tesses' union to organize their shops
was testified to by Miss Maloney.
She stated that there were over
100 restaurants signed up with the
union before the Knab fight and only
about 35 at the present time.
Knab's chief contention has been
that he refused to sign a new agree
ment because the mattresses union
could not furnish him sufficient help.
He put this excuse on the literature
he displayed in his windows during
the strike, but Miss Maloney testified
that, with the exception of one of
Knab's restaurants, calls were not

formed that Knab would not employ
any mattresses who had done picket
duty during the Heinrich trouble, in
consequence of which not one of the
thirty girls waiting for positions at
union headquarters would be en-
plOyed by Knab.
Regarding the preferential agree
ment Knab claims he offered the
mattresses, Miss MalOney endeaVOred
to explain how the organization had
been ruined in 1903 when they had
accepted preferential agreements
with restaurant keepers, but the tes-
timOny was not admitted.
The veil was torn from the iden-
tity of the Mysterious Mr.. Smith"
who was foremost in fighting the
mattresses at the beginning of the
Knab trouble. Miss Maloney detailed
a conversation she had had with
Smith in which she claims he told
her: You had better accept Knab's
terms. We have the employers as >
sociation behind up and we will wipe
you and your organization off the
map if you attempt to call a strike.

labor organizations and strikes and

you have any common sense you will

Miss Maloney declared that in the
latter part of 1913, before Knab sign

of restaurants in the restaurant keep
ers' combine were working wait
resses seven days a week; ten hours
a day and that under the union agree
ment they could work them only six
days a week.

Weinberg is not worried over the pro-
phecy as white shirts are the easiest
