BOSSES TRY TO BLUFF THOSE
WHO SIGNED WITH UNIONS
So many plastering contractors
yesterday signed the agreement de-
sired by White City Council of Lath-
ers that the Building Construction
Employers assn has taken a, des-
perate stand to stop the union in
roads. The parent association has
warned the Platstering Contractors
assn that unless it repudiates the
agreements many of its members
have made with the fathers that the
associations charter will be annulled,
the bonds declared forfeited and a
new association put in the field to put
the old one completely out of bust
ness.
This action of the Building Con-
struction Employers assn is one of
the things that the unions have been
so bitterly fighting. Union leaders de-
clare that no association should pos
sess such dominant power that it is
able to dictate. who shall and who
shall not be contractors, or by sim
pie word put any. contractor out of
its own or allied associations or an
null those bodies of employers.
The plasterers today gave notice
that in future they would refuse to
accept the peace tribute of half of
one per cent of the value of all con-
tracts. In past this has been paid
into the treasury of the union.
Street car officials today denied
there was any ground for the rumor
that a street car strike would be
called May 81.

NOTED MISSIONARY DIES
FATHER LAuTH, o. s. 3, WAS
WELL EQUIPPED FOR MISSION
AIRY LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

The funeral of Rev. Jacob Lauth,
o. S. B., occurred on August 81, from
st. Bernard's Monastery, ST. Bernard,
Ala, Very Rev. SEVERN Laufenberg,
o. S. b., prior, officiating.
Father Jacob was born in Bous,
Luxembourg, in 1845. Coming to
America in 1868, his studies were
made at Notre Dame, Ind. He was
ordained November II. 1870. for the
Fort Wayne diocese, where he re-
manned five years. Eighteen years of
missionary labor in Texas followed,
after which he joined the Benedic-
tine community. The missions of
Alabama and Eastern Tennessee
were the next scenes of his labor, his
command of English, German, French,
Spanish, Bohemian and several
Slav dialects splendidIy equipped him
for his work His last years were
spent at st. Bernard, where he was
professor of Moral Theology and
Church History. He is survived by
three brothers, two of whom are
priests, and two sisters, both nuns oi

or country that undertook the noble
mission of ending the war.
He expressed pleasure over the fact
that the diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the United States and Germany
had resulted in promise from Ger
many to modify her submarine war
fare.
The Pontiff said that President
Wilson, having shown both groups Of
belligerents the fairness, firmness
and good will of the American govern
ment, could now address them with
authority and probably induce them
to take the preliminary steps which
would lead gradually to negotiations
for peace.
The Vatican is besieged with
requests from all parts of the world
for information regarding the possible
action by Pope Benedict in concert
with the United States in favor of
peace. The reply of the Vatican to
these messages is that nothing of a
positive nature exists, and that the
visit of Cardinal Gibbons, to Presi-
dent Wilson must not be regarded as
the first step in new papal initiative.

building stands, for the foundation of
Routt College. This institution, which
is named in his honor, he endowed
with an additional gift of $4,000 on
the day of its dedication and later
provided an endowment fund. Other
philanthropies have been the build
ing and equipping of large addition

nificent pipe organ to the Church of
Our Saviour Several subsequent gifts
i'm greater or less amounts to these
various institutions has brought the
total well up toward 100000.

RUINS OF OLD FRANCISCAN Fri
AIRY NEAR LONDON, FOUNDED
IN 1899 AND SUPPRESSED IN
1884, DISCOVERED.

A discovery which has just been
made at Richmond recalls some of
the Catholic memories Of the London
suburbs. The Red Cross Hospital on
Richmond Green is being enlarged
by breaking a doorway into the ad-
joining house, Abingdon Lodge. On
clearing the panelling from the wall
on the Abingdon Lodge side, it was
found that the plaster behind it was
decorated with fresco painting of pre-
Reformation date. 1t is believed the
painting indicates that the wall is
part of the buildings Of the Fran
ciscan Friary, which once stood on this
SITE The house was founded in 1899
by King Henry VII, who held his court
at Richmond throughout his reign, and
indeed gave it the name which it
still bears, changing its old name of
Sheen into that of Richmond in mem
ory of his title before he became king.
The Friary was suppressed in 1884 by
his son, Henry VIII, but Catholic Rich
mond remembers its brief existence,
chiefly on account of one of the last
of it's friars, who was put to death at
Tyburn, but whose name has not YET
been placed upon the honored list OF
the beatified martyrs. The case is
complicated by the fact that the
charge of treason made against him
was connected with the alleged
prophecies of "the holy maid of Kent.
But there can be little doubt that he
sacrificed his life in consequence ot
his opposition to the first steps takef
| by Henry to change the religion o1
England. In an age when far tor
many men were chiefly anxious to take
the safest and easiest course the Fran
ciscans showed an answering loyalt!
to the Holy See, and Henry honoreC
them with the special marks of hi
hatred. The Friary at Richmond wa
lone of the first of their houses to b
suppressed IL was believed that tht
buildings were completely demolishet
soon after, but the discovery at -Abing
don Lodge seems to indicate that par
of the old Friary was embodied ii
the newer buildings which now occup.
Its site.

BIBLE READING IN SCHOOL
MANKATo HIGH SCHOOL WILL
FORFEIT STATE AID IF 1T
ALLOWS BIBLE READING.

The board of education of Mankato
Mimi, has received notice from the
State High School Board that because
of the continued reading of the Bible
in the Mankato high school at morn,
ing exercises, contrary to the state
constitution, the special state aid,
amounting to $4,000 for the coming
year, has been cut off.
The notice took the school authori.
ties of Mankato by surprise, as it was
believed, the State Board did not in
tend to act until the matter could be
passed upon by the Attorney General
again.
The State High School Board bases
its position on the state constitution
as construed by two Attorneys
General of Minnesota.
It is rumored that the Mankato
school board will probably mandamus
the State High School Board or the
state treasurer to pay the grant or
show cause why it should not be paid.
