MORE RELIGION
COUNTRY'S NEED
Rev. Victor Won Kubinyi Speaks
on Labor and Capital" at
High School = Foreigners
Should Study English.

Religious teaching as an important
means Of improving present condi-
tons between labor and capital, was
emphasized by Rev. Victor Won Ku-
binyi in an address on the subject,
Labor and Capital, at the high
school auditorium Saturday night.
1T has been claimed" he said.
that all movements tending to better
conditions have their origin in re-
ligion. 1t is my belief that the only
way to improve conditions at the
present time is to give religious train
ing 10 every individual
THE chief causes of trouble in
American industry today are found
partly in the fact that the foreign
workers feel their inferiority and
partly in the contention held by some
Americans that all foreigners are I'M
desirable and inferior.
Many class all people coming from
other countries together and lay the
mistakes of a few of these at the feet
of all. Many Of these foreigners have
a good education, but fail to gain any
social standing because they do not
understand the American language.
It is the duty OF this class to learn
the language of this country, in order
that they may understand its laws and
customs
ITO understand socialism, which is
being advocated as a means of better
ing conditions, one must not only
study books written on the subject,
but he must study life as well.
1.-The principles of the l. w. w,
which is sometimes confused with So
cialism, are as far from socialism
as South Bend is from Russia. At an
/. w. w meeting which I attended
last fall, the main topic discussed by
the speakers was absolute equality.
which 1 consider as being impossible.
Absolute equality would take the in
dividuality from every person. which
would be most undesirable"
After he had addressed the English
speaking language who were present
he repeated his talk in Hungarian for
the benefit of the foreigners who at
tended the meeting in large numbers.

H Haberle, proprietor Of a machine
shop at 81 Hydraulic av. is planning
the construction Of a two-story brick

business Of the concern responsible
for its construction. 1t Will cost APP
proximately $4,000.
Architects and contractors in the
city said Saturday that continued
bad weather conditions were not
favorable to continued building activ-
ity. The spring has not opened as
rapidly as expected, and the present
depression in building and construc-
tive circles will continue, they say, un-
til pleasanter weather arrives. The
year is expected to become one of the
most successful in the history OF the
city, since many buildings and new
homes are planned.
Four permits for buildings were
issued from the office of the board of
public works through the past week.
They were as follows:
Arthur Miller, remodeling GA
Rush St, $447.
Felix Duzak. one-story repair shop,
1920 w. Division St, $500.

The Frank Holt incident, in which
]. =. Morgan was attacked illus
trates a resentment in the United
States against a popular belief that
America is taking sides in the Euro
pean war. Tha. belief rs based upon
the sales of war munitions TO England
and It's allies. It Is a case where
international law and usage comes
into conflict with public conscience.
II has always been the custom Of the
world for people of one nation to sell
engaged in war any supplies ordered
for carrying on hosulities The great
er progress people make toward
higher civilization the greater the
horror OF war becomes, and the con-
sciences of the people have developed
In the past few years along this line
There is another feature at this par
ticular time which adds to the seem.
ing Injustice Of selling explosives,
and that lies in the fact that we can
not make sales to all countries alike
There Is no doubt but that Ameri
cans, as private citizens have taken
sides in the conflict The vast ma
jority Of the people here are in sym
pathy with their English.speaking
brothers in the war. But while that
is true, there are MANY persons here
who sympathize with Germany and
these people feel resentment that we
should sell shiuloads OF supplies to
the English and their allies while Ger
many can receive no shipments.
While Holt lecame Il maniac, he
was crazcd over the feeling of the
slaughter of men in the war, and he
is not representative Of the class
of people who resent these sales to
the English, yet it is straw that
points to a disafrectiOn in this coun
try which has been brought about |
by the circumstances of the war.

erwise.
In the cases CT North Dakota and
South Dakota Montana, Idaho and
Arizona the enabling act of those

cally excluding those states from the

The case of Mississippi parallels
the Oklahoma cose, it is said. When
Mississippi was admitted to the union
it received $4,000 acres for agricultu-
raj purposes, and was permitted to
share in the benefits of the Morrill,

LABOR HOLDS KEY TO WAR.

The Dallas News remarked recently
that the Teutons and their allies had
ten million men in the field, and that
an army OF that SIZE could not be
whipped by the combined world, "a
long as they are supplied with muni-
tions of war II is also probable that
the French and British and their al
lies have fifteen million men in the
war, and an army OF that size, it may
be said, cannC. be whipped by the
armies of the entire world as long
as they are Supplied with all the
equipments they can use.
II these two statements are true,
the men at home as upon those is the
field The worker in the factory is
an important f1ctor in the war.
These men are frequently jibed while
on the streets as being men who are
afraid to 20 to war. This was brought
out in a recent statement from a
prominent Frenchman and the French
people were urged to be more con
siderate Of the feelings OF the men
who are engaged in manufacturing
war munitions. The greatest contest
in history depends upon the power OF
endurance Of TIE nations engaged in
war. The conflict will not be settled
by the staying OF men nor the cap
ture OF men, but will hinge upon the
equipment Of the armies.
This view of the situation shows
why England is 50 exercised over its
labor troubles and why it is urging
It's men to turn ont a maximum
amount of the best equipments.
